Welcome to this week’s edition of the PartyPoker Weekly where we bring you news of Tony G’s progress at the Aussie Millions, World Poker Tour Vienna satellites now running and a whole lot more. Keep on reading for all the details!

Jungleman Wants To Take On Tony G

In December 2011 Daniel “Jungleman” Cates issued a challenge to the world where he offered to play anyone heads-up if they were prepared to sit down with at least “100,000 and play with blinds of “200/”400. Nobody took him up on that offer so the terms were changed and a ring game was played at the Prague festival. It was much the anti-climax, despite Tony G running his mouth with his infamous smack talking but it appears the challenge may be back on the cards.

Both Tony G and Cates are currently at the Aussie Millions, in fact Tony G just finished fourth in the $100,000 Challenge for $242,000, where during an interview with the pair Cates revealed he was hoping to resurrect the heads-up challenge.

Tony G said, “We want to play a bit of poker here, have a bit of fun. This is not Prague this is Melbourne and there is a lot of money about and I think we’ll get a game for the greatest player in the world, Jungleman.”

Cates was asked who he would most like to take on if a challenger could be found and he responded by saying he wants to face Tony G because apparently the PartyPoker Pro “talks so much s**t!”

Be sure to check out Tony G’s latest blog entry where he continues his quest of winding up fellow pros, including Phil Hellmuth and Dave “DevilFish” Ulliott.

Qualify For WPT Vienna

Last year’s World Poker Tour Vienna Main Event was the largest-ever European WPT tournament in history, a title it narrowly lost to WPT Prague in December. Can the Austria capital win attract even more than the 555 who participated last season? If so the “447,840 Dimitry Gromov won for taking down the title in Season 9 could be dwarfed and you could be in with a chance of walking away with a life-changing sum of money thanks to PartyPoker.

From Jan. 23 to Mar. 25 satellites will be running in the PartyPoker lobby that award $7,000 packages to WPT Vienna. Each package consists of:

• The $4,700 WPT Vienna Main Event buy-in
• Hotel accommodation for six nights
• $900 spending money
• PartyPoker’s legendary hospitality

WPT Vienna promises to be one of the highlights of Season 10. Will you be there?

This week in the PartyPoker Weekly, we’ll tell you all about the new “World Domination” promotion, how to win World Poker Tour seats, how Tony G made fun of Phil Hellmuth – yet again, and more!

Achieve World Domination

PartyPoker is giving players the chance to rule the planet this November and December with the exciting World Domination promotion. It’s going to be one of the most enjoyable promotions of the year, and one that Tony G assures us makes him set for “total world annihilation!”

During the World Domination promotion, PartyPoker is going to award thousands of dollars’ worth of cash prizes, tournament and freeroll seats, and give players the chance to win the top prize of $100,000.

How to Dominate the World

In order to achieve world domination, all players have to do is earn Party Points between Nov. 7 and Dec. 31.

Every time a player earns 10 Party Points they will be randomly awarded one of 72 different cities from around the world. Most cities will also come with an award of a valuable instant prize, but the big prizes are awarded if players can manage to conquer entire countries and continents.

The biggest prize is $100,000, which will be awarded to any player who manages to accumulate all 72 unique cities. You can get started now and conquer your first city for only 5 Party Points. What are you waiting for?

Win World Poker Tour Seats

The World Poker Tour just finished up in Amnéville and dozens of players made it to the exotic French location by winning a seat on PartyPoker. Want to win a seat to a World Poker Tour stop?

The next stop on the WPT is the Czech Republic with WPT Bohemia set to kick off on Nov. 18. A tournament package worth $3,000 is now being awarded in the PartyPoker client, complete with a Main Event buy-in, spending money, and accommodation at Europe’s largest poker room all taken care.

Taking place at the Corinthia Casino just a few weeks after the Bohemia event wraps up, WPT Prague is the newest addition to the World Poker Tour. The Main Event kicks off on Dec. 1 and the $5,000 buy-in event is sure to create a massive prize pool. A mix of qualifiers and satellites are now running and PartyPoker will award dozens of $7,500 tournament packages.

The World Poker Tour Five Diamond Classic continues to be one of the biggest events on the tournament calendar as hundreds of players descend upon the famous Bellagio Casino in Las Vegas every December. Several $14,000 tournament packages are now up for grabs at PartyPoker as the $10,300 Main Event is again set to be one of the most prestigious tournaments of the year.

Tony G Makes Fun of Hellmuth’s Twitter Shenanigans

Earlier in the week Tony G discussed how the BBC had given him the title of “world-class poker player” in an article written about his plight against the Alderney Gambling Control Commission. Instead of taking the compliment, in typical Tony G style, he saw this is a chance to needle Phil Hellmuth.

“If I was my good buddy Phil Hellmuth, last week would have been a career highlight for me and something I would have been shouting from the rooftops. I was interviewed by the BBC and they told the world what everybody already knows – I am a world-class poker player,” Tony G said on his blog

Tony G went on to give some humorous suggestions as to what Phil Hellmuth’s Twitter feed may have looked like had the BBC said the same thing about him.

@phil_hellmuth: “It’s official – the BBC put out a press release saying what everyone knows – I am world class.”

@phil_hellmuth “Having dinner with Hilary Swank, Slash and a group of Texan billionaires and managed to find five minutes in my schedule for BBC – they just wanted an autograph.”

Tony G is now holding a competition in the comments section of his blog to see who can come up with the best Hellmuth Twitter impression. A cash prize is up for grabs for Tony G’s favorite!

Don’t Forget Your Free $50 Bankroll

In order to claim your free bankroll all you have to do is sign up for a PartyPoker account through PokerNews and you will get an immediate free credit of $25. To complete the process and receive the rest of your bankroll you will simply need to earn 200 PartyPoints.
