Filed in archive Television and Radio on March 23, 2006

Phil Hellmuth, long known for his bashing of incompetent poker players, may have found the perfect part time job. According to Poker News, Phil Hellmuth will begin hosting Celebrity Poker Showdown on March 22nd. CPS is a series of poker tournaments on bravo pitting celebrities playing no limit texas holdem against each other with the winnings going to charity. Last year, over $2 million was donated to the celebrities favorite charities. CPS has also signed a deal with Harrah's to have their tournaments played in Harrah's properties throughout the country. I can hardly wait to hear Phil chastise a player for making a bad call and then sucking out on the river.
