Michael Madsen, known for his role as Mr. Blonde in "Reservoir Dogs" and the assassin - Budd, aka Sidewinder - in "Kill Bill. Volume 2," stars as Don "The Matador" Everest in ESPN's new original series about the poker underworld.

The Matador is the most feared man as well as the King of Vegas and three professional gamblers, Eddie Towne (played by Eddie Cibrian), Miami (Kristin Lehman) and Clark Marcellin (Todd Williams), have teamed up to take down the reigning king of the table - Don "The Matador" Everest. Their plan: to amass a fortune and extract revenge on Don "The Matador" Everest, the crooked, brutal character who wronged each of them and who has a stranglehold on the Vegas poker scene. As the three begin to infiltrate the dark and sometimes dangerous gambling underworld, they learn that working together might be harder than working alone, and that The Matador's alliances runs deep in the underworld of Vegas.

In a town where even the chief of police is on Everest's take, viewers will see that it takes more than card smarts and a good poker face to beat the odds.
