The Full Tilt Poker Million Euro Challenge was a huge success in Germany. In the US, they take it even further: In the live show 'The Real Deal' in the Venetian Casino you are able to win a million dollars - and that six times a week. The game show is accompanied by a supporting programme which is quite noteworthy.

Play with the Pros
Stars like Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu, Johnny Chan, Antonio Esfandiari and many more will be honoured to attend. If you are picked, you have the opportunity to play against two of the pros along with five further guests. Via specific prop bets it's also possible for the visitors to collect points.

The Real Deal - Rules of the Game
At the end of each day, a pro, the visitor with the most points and the last remaining amateur in the game will be able to take on the final in a threesome. There you won't be able to win a million though. This is available via a further contest.

Four times during the show, each visitor will have five cards transferred to a mobile touchscreen device made available by the Venetian. The ten best hands in each case will be entered into the Top 40. Those will again receive five cards on their mobile device. Should one of them have a royal flush, he will receive the $1,000,000.
