$1 million prize pool in televised pro-am poker tournament

Online poker players are being invited to qualify for the chance to sample the lifestyle enjoyed by professional poker players and to play against them in a televised tournament with a prize pool of $1 million.

On July 12, three free-roll internet qualifiers will battle it out against a trio of the world�s top poker professionals in a single table Mansion Speed Poker� shootout at Las Vegas� Tropicana. Filmed fly-on-the-wall style, the tournament will be broadcast to over 100 million households worldwide.

A number of global poker stars have already confirmed participation in a series of elimination tournaments to produce the starting pro field. But in a bid to even the odds, the three online contestants will each enter the arena with the advantage of a deeper chip stack than their professional rivals and will each be assigned a coach; either Mike �The Mouth� Matusow, Annie Duke or Howard �The Professor� Lederer.

The poker mentors will be able to intervene twice throughout the challenge via two-way communication technology, while each coach is allowed one 60 second timeout from the sidelines, to be invoked at any stage as crucial plays unfold.

For further details on how to become one of the internet qualifiers for the Mansion Superstar Challenge, go to www.mansion.com.
