NBC is betting on a poker show called “Face the Ace,” which will debut Aug. 1 with a seven-episode order, Daily Variety reports. The program, in which contestants will play against pro poker players in Las Vegas, is hosted by Steve Schirripa of “The Sopranos” and may be expanded if it’s successful, the trade paper says.
