InCard Sharks,two players face off in a head-to-head elimination game with the goal of one player making it to the grand prize winning deck. Each contestant must decide if the odds are worth the risk of losing it all and making it to the big game. Players can either take their earned cash and quit or continue betting with the hope of reaching the top for a chance to take home a cash prize.

Both shows have enjoyed syndicated reruns for years on networks like GSN and Buzzr.
