Tony G is P**ed
Run for cover folks, Tony G is on the warpath. He is not a happy bunny after being snubbed by the NBC Heads Up Championship:

“There is clearly something rotten in the state of Denmark as Shakespeare would say. I have not been invited to the NBC Heads-Up event for four years in a row.”
“The selection process is a farce – I am pi**ed for missing out for four years in a row and pi**ed at having to beg to be considered for the NBC heads up.Televised poker needs a revolution anyway, most of the shows he produces are dull and flat and the politics are just too much for me now. This latest snub will give me the drive to start my own TV production company! Let’s see if I can do it any better.”
“I don’t have much of a choice if they will not invite me – I will make my own show and make the best poker show in the world. I have always played on every TV show for all sites and have always said that players should be allowed to play on any show if they choose to play but this selection process and the politics that his company is now involved in is just too much for me.”
“I am going to go out in a limb here and say I think I am probably in the top six players for TV events. Do you think it is unfair that I have been snubbed for the NBC Heads-Up?”

Tell Tony if you agree over on the PartyPoker Blog.

Bad Beat JackPot Won!
Last week we told you that the PartyPoker Bad Beat Jack Pot was soaring close to $1 million, well that sprung lots of you into action because it has been won. PRAETORIANER lost with quad tens at a $2/$4 table when rol007 won with a Royal Flush. The Loser in the hand won $479,101, rol007 got $239,550 and other 7 players got $34,221 each!

PRAETORIANER commented after:

“After the river I realized my opponent might have a better hand. I went all-in, he called right away and then everything happened really fast. The message appeared on the screen, I opened my account and had almost $500 000. Indescribable! I was shocked at first. Then started jumping around. I was extremely happy.”
“I love playing at the jackpot tables, because it is a little like playing the lottery. If you play at higher stakes, the expected value is higher. I will continue playing on these tables from now on.”

The Bad Beat JackPot has now reset and is already over $200,000.
