With intense heads-up tournament play, expansive poker tutorials, and strategy clips from Phil Hellmuth's Ultimate White to Black Belt Course, players can learn from the very best in the industry and take on all opponents in real-world locations such as Las Vegas and New Orleans.

    The FMV sequences and extras in this game should be particularly enjoyable for fans of these pro poker icons. But the table game itself is lacking in personality, and more cluttered than some of the better DS poker games available.

Only one type of hold 'em poker, no Omaha or anything else. You can play in WSOP, cash game, or head to head with one of the real poker player. Game has 3 difficulties, though the game is not easy to win even on amatuer. The pace of the game is very slow. Many games can drag more than 30 mins without a winner because the CPU fold a lot. You can't save in between. Not much to do in the game and the game feel boring. Midnight Play Back feature better poker playing experience than this game even without real poker players.… Expand
