The Pro-Am Poker Equalizer" is a unique tournament featuring an exciting mix of professional poker players and celebrity enthusiasts playing for a first-place prize worth $500,000. Filmed at the South Coast Casino in Las Vegas, each episode features six players (four professionals and two amateurs) playing in a six-handed Sit & Go tournament. The winner of each game will advance to the next round and play for a chance to take home the $500,000 prize. Because they're professionals, it's safe to assume that players like Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, and Howard Lederer might have an advantage over their celebrity competition. With that in mind, we have handicapped each of the pros in this tournament by forcing them to start with only 100,000 chips, while each celebrity will be given 150,000 chips with which to play.

At the dawn of the Internet (10 years ago), traffic to and from Cindy Margolis' websites was constantly in a state of gridlock. Today, the only thing on the web that comes close in popularity is…well, poker. And with Pro-Am Poker Equalizer you get them both. Sitting with Cindy in the amateur camp is actor Jeremy Sisto. He played Billy in HBO's Six Feet Under, one of the creepiest characters in the series. And for a show about the mortuary business, that's saying a lot.

Jennifer Harman, Chris Ferguson, Howard Lederer, and Phil Laak make up the pro camp.

If someday you sit at Shannon Elizabeth’s table and think she’s only playing poker because it’s the trendy thing to do in Hollywood, you better not be too attached to your chips. Elizabeth, who played Nadia the exhibitionist exchange student in American Pie, has a solid game, evidenced by the fact she monied at this year’s WSOP and finished the Main Event well ahead of other A-list celebrity players. Don Cheadle didn’t play in the WSOP, but the Oscar-nominated star of Hotel Rwanda and Crash will undoubtedly deliver an award winning performance as he tries to out-bluff the pros.

The pros in this case are Erik Seidel, Gabe Kaplan, Gavin Smith, and Andy Bloch.
