Apple has pulled Texas Hold'em, the only in-house iOS game its produced, from the App Store, reports MacRumors.

Go all in with Texas Hold'em, a new iPod touch and iPhone application. Play against realistic opponents in single-player mode. Or play over a Wi-Fi network with up to eight of your friends.

And it's available from iTunes for just $4.99.
