The Aussie Millions are now in full swing and the vocal and often controversial Tony G is already there grinding it out at the cash tables. We also have details of a World Poker Tour Regional Series in Denmark, WPT Venice, rake free tournaments and the Winter Million. Keep on reading this week’s PartyPoker Weekly for all of the details!

Tony G At The Aussie Millions

Tony G is currently in Melbourne for the 2012 Aussie Millions though it is the cash games that have been keeping him busy, not the excellent selection of tournaments that are on offer. In his popular blog on the PartyPoker site, Tony G describes how he has been playing a lot of cash games since arrive in Australia. “The sun is shining and the cash action has already started here at Crown and i am hitting them harder than the giant hailstones hit my car during the freak weather here on Christmas Day”

He goes on to inform his legion of fans that he is only up a small amount but Patrik Antonius won over $1,000,000 in a single session. The loud-mouthed Lithuanian then tears a strip from Bobby Bellande and says he is looking forward to Daniel “Jungleman” Cates and the infamous Hong Kong business men from Macau arriving for the cash games. “It’s going to be a feast,” according to Mr G.
