Yes, Megan is on a new poker show called "Face The Ace".
Here's the concept: A poker pro who plays well on FullTiltPoker.net qualifies to win a trip to Las Vegas where he will play against one of four poker experts. Who he plays is not known. He merely picks a suit, (i.e. Ace of Clubs, Ace of Diamonds, Ace of Hearts or Ace of Spades) and the expert is revealed after he makes his choice.
The two then play in simple heads-up Texas Hold 'Em. If the player wins, he wins $40,000 -- if the Ace wins, the $40,000 goes to a charity of his or her choice.
Provided the player can defeat one expert, he then must make a choice:
Pocket his $40 grand and leave, or go for $200 grand, playing a second "Ace", picking one of the three other suits.
Play and payout is repeated, and then the player is given another choice. You probably figured this out -- pocket $200,000 or go a third time for a jackpot of $1 million, picking a third "suit".
As far as poker games go, there's not a whole lot that separates this from most poker shows, except that instead of watching pros go at it, you have players going up against professionals, AND the fact that they actually show you all the outs that could improve the hand when a person is an underdog.
All in all, I'll level with you -- Face The Ace is actually a great show. It's a shame it probably won't be on long, given it's poor ratings due largely to a lack of advertising (I never heard of this show until I saw it on!)

It's great to know Megan is back in action. She has a Facebook page and a Twitter page as well.
