The best XBLA game you're not playing!

Poker Smash!
Its this totally awesome puzzle game that apparently slipped under the radar because I've only heard one other person mention it.
Its a pretty basic puzzle game in that cards pop in from the bottom and you have to match them to get rid of them. The challenge is that you have to use poker hands to clear the cards!
Yes, you can play the game doing two of a kind, three of a kind, etc but it'll be a very short game because you'll soon be overwhelmed with cards. Hands can be matched horizontally or vertically and you're given bombs to clear cards and you have the option to increase or decrease the speed of the card flow.
Cards can only be moved horizontally but they can drop into holes or move across gaps if needed.
Trial is up on Marketplace and the full game is 800 points (10USD) and definitely well worth a purchase if you're a poker and puzzle game enthusiast, like me.
