Phil Hellmuth Jr joins the World Poker Tour as host of the Raw Deal

The World Poker Tour has pulled off the shock of the year by announcing the 14-time World Series of Poker champion, Phil Hellmuth Jr., as the replacement for Tony Dunst as the host of the Raw Deal.

I didn’t see that one coming.

In May, Mike Sexton retired from his role as the commentator of the World Poker Tour (WPT) after 15 glorious years.

But Sexton wasn’t ready to don his pipe & slippers.
