But now, by using ex-FBI special agent Joe Navarro's insights into body language, illustrated with World Series of Poker champion Phil Hellmuth's in-game examples, players will be able to decode and interpret other players' nonverbal communication while concealing their own--becoming human lie detectors and the most feared players at the table.
