In a surprise move, Apple has revived its Texas Hold’em game for iOS today. The update to the original game comes in celebration of the 10-year anniversary of the App Store<\/a> and has been redesigned to include new characters, improved graphics, more challenging gameplay, and much more.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I certainly didn’t expect that to happen.<\/p>\n\n
