"Episode 206" -- The head-to-head trivia competition continues with new twists and stakes. Contestants battle it out to see who can win the ultimate prize of $500,000, on "Duel," FRIDAY, JUNE 27 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. Mike Greenberg hosts.

In a cutting edge format � combining trivia challenges like those on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" with the strategy played in the "World Series of Poker" -- contestants find themselves in intense head-to-head matches, reacting quickly under pressure and outsmarting their opponents by using strategy and deception, as well as intellect and skill, in the race to win big money. Each episode will feature a new group of contestants vying to duel either the previous week's winner or a brand new opponent. The goal of each contestant is to win a series of duels and take home the $500,000 jackpot. But along the way, contestants will be tempted to leave the game and walk away with their accumulated winnings.
