Phil Gordon Leaving Celebrity Poker Challenge?

I just hear news that Phil Gordon will be leaving the Celebrity Poker Challenge. His contract is up, and he wants to move on and explore other things.

Anybody who has watched the Celebrity Poker tournaments has benefited from Phil's professional commentary on the moves made by the players - I know I've picked up a few tips while watching. He did a great job, and he will be missed. (At least Ken Folley will still be there, peppering dry, technical commentary with humor and punch lines. Sometimes he even manages to be funnier than the celebrity players, who regularly put viewers in stitches.)

But wait, Gordon leaving the show isn't half the news here. Possibly the most interesting thing to come out of Phil's retirement from the Celebrity Poker Challenge is the notorious name being dropped as a possible successor - Phil Hellmuth!

Yes, you hear it right - Phil Hellmuth, the Poker Brat himself, may become Phil Gordon's replacement. In a recent interview with All In, Hellmuth revealed that he is in talks with Celebrity Poker, and it is possible he will become their new poker-pro commentator.

Sweet deal!

If this deal goes through, Celeb Poker is going to be raking in the ratings. Every poker player and their dog would tune in to catch some tips from Phil Hellmuth.
