Harry Weinhead, Boris Krinkle, Theodore Dudebrough, and Grandma Shakey compete against the player in the Telltale Texas Hold'Em tournament, a fictional poker tournament held in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Boris Krinkle looks very much like Leonard Steakcharmer, a minor antagonist/character in Sam & Max Save the World and Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space. This fact is mentioned by both Theodore in Telltale Texas Hold'em and by Max in Sam & Max Save the World.
Telltale Texas Hold'em was named "indie game of the month" by PC Zone magazine in July 2005.[4]
