For fans of poker and online casinos there is some new magic coming your way from the people at Poker Productions, the very same people who have produced the Poker After Dark franchise on NBC, one of the most successful networks in the United States. This time they are offering up their casino gaming-loving viewers a special new program to watch called Face The Ace. This program is scheduled to begin airing sometime later on during the month of August. It will be hosted by a man named Steve Schirripa. While he may not be widely known in some circles of the online casino business, he scored a bunch of fans when he played a gangster named Boddy Baccalieri on HBO’s hit show The Sopranos.

This wonderful new casino poker television show, Face The Ace is supposed to make its first on-air showing on the first of August at 9 p.m. that evening. And then eventually it will switch over to a time slot on Saturday afternoons sometime in September. But for people who love to visit online casinos and poker rooms, this show is gearing up to be quite a blast.

NBC has so far committed to airing an awesome seven episodes and if the casino and poker program seems to be performing well and connecting with viewers, then there could be many more beyond those initial seven. This show is designed to give viewers and casino players the world over something truly unique and its creators are confident that it will do remarkably well among its target audience. For now, every one is eager for August to roll around so we can all witness the magic that comes with Face The Ace!

The Aussie Millions Poker Championship is turning out to be a huge success. With fierce competitors hailing from distant locales all across the globe, this international online casino poker event is shaping up to be one of the big highlights of 2009 so far. The 23-day competition has even earned the privilege of playing host to the Poker Pack, a group of six Asian poker players who are representing the Asian Poker Tour and are also, incidentally dominating their field of competition. The people behind AsianLogic who are being represented by the Poker Pack are very pleased with the group’s performance so far in the event. They have made quite an impression on many operators of online casinos.

The Aussie Millions consists of 10 different championship casino events that include almost every variation of the game of poker that exist. Over 2000 different players from all sorts of different online casinos have joined the ranks of the competitors to battle it out. In addition some 800 or more players will be vying for the guaranteed first prize that now totals $2 million (Australian dollars). That will be up for grabs in the $10,500 buy-in no-limit Texas Hold’em main event.

The players are doing their best right now to try to stay in the casino action long enough to make it to the big main event but the competition is intense and unless you have an incredible amount of skill and smarts on your side in addition to a healthy supply of good old-fashioned luck, then you should spend your time praying to your deity of preference. The Aussie Millions has definitely succeeded in creating a poker event that is getting to be one of the top international events of the year.
