Poker Brat Phil Hellmuth Gets His Own iPhone Game

If you follow professional poker at all, Phil Hellmuth needs no introduction.  He is best known for his record holding 11 World Series of Poker bracelets, but his personality is what makes him a poker icon.  His nickname is "The Poker Brat" because he is a bit of a sore loser, but apparently that can be forgiven when you are a talented player.  Not so surprisingly, Twistbox Entertainment has decided to harness all of Phil Hellmuth's talent and personality, and put it into an iPhone poker game. The App Store is plump full of card games, especially poker games, but Twisted Entertainment feels that they have a winner on their hands with Phil Hellmuth Poker. The game features four difficulty levels ranging from very easy, easy, medium, and hard to appeal to all types of poker players.  The developer claims that the game sports superior AI that will put even the best poker player's skills to the test.  Phil Hellmuth Poker also allows you to adjust the opponent numbers, blind levels, and player bank amounts. Instead of a simple card view, Phil Hellmuth Poker features a top-down perspective that allows you to see the entire table, including the characters.  The characters are fully animated, even Hellmuth himself, and since this is a Phil Hellmuth game, it features comical and clever dialog to keep things interesting. Phil Hellmuth Poker is available in the App Store at the introductory price of $.99.
