Tony G wants Phil Hellmuth to retire? Read on to find out more on why he’s calling for Hellmuth’s retirement, and how you could win your way to the Aussie Millions in this PartyPoker Weekly.

PartyPoker Winter Million

One of the biggest online tournaments of 2012 will be the $1 million guarantee PartyPoker Winter Million in February!

This is a big chance for you to start your year in style. The buy-in for the Winter Million is $600+$40 and PartyPoker has given players plenty of time to qualify for the event.

The tournament will take place on Feb. 5 and will be played in a championship format.

PartyPoker wants as many of their players as possible to take part in the $1 million event and have begun offering qualifiers from as little as $1. Imagine turning $1 into a share of a $1 million.

The new year is almost upon us but it is not too early to start thinking about taking part in the Winter Million and we can’t think of any better way to start a year than by winning a share of this gigantic prize pool.

Head to the Aussie Millions

There is only one tournament on the minds of poker players all around the world – the upcoming Aussie Millions in Melbourne, Australia.

The Main Event costs $10,600 to enter and will take place from Jan. 22 to Jan. 28, 2012. The best place to pick up a $16,000 tournament package is at PartyPoker.

Qualifiers start from as little as $2 and it has never been easier to be making your way Down Under to take part in the premier tournament series of the Southern Hemisphere.

$16,000 Aussie Millions Package

• $11,400 Aussie Millions Main Event buy-in
• Eight nights accommodation at the Crown Promenade Hotel, which is right next to the Crown Casino where the Aussie Millions is taking place
• $2,500 spending money

No More Rake

Thanks to PartyPoker, from Jan. 1 to Jan. 31 you will not have to pay any rake across the whole multi-table tournament schedule.

The above is not a typo. Players at PartyPoker will spend January saving thousands of dollars in tournament fees.

To add to the huge value of this coming January, players will also have the opportunity to cash in on a generous reload bonus and a $50,000 freeroll.

To receive a reload bonus of 100% up to $100, existing PartyPoker players must deposit at least $50 using the bonus code “RAKEFREE” during January.

If you make this minimum reload deposit using the bonus code above, you will also be eligible to take part in the $50,000 Depositors’ Freeroll. The huge value freeroll will take place on Feb. 5 at 1100 ET and since it’s so easy to qualify, there are simply no excuses for missing this event.

Merry Christmas From Tony G

In his latest blog, Tony G tells us that “Christmas is coming to the G household.” At least that’s what he told us before he began needling Phil Hellmuth. by offering him a “spiritual video.”

“At this time of year it is only right that you think about others in need, and have a deep and meaningful conversation with yourself about life, love and the cosmos. It is with this in mind that I channeled all my positive energy into this spiritual video message to Phil Hellmuth. The change from 2011 to 2012 is very significant for you I know Phil.”

Tony went on to suggest that Hellmuth’s time is up in the poker world and that he should consider retirement.

The very humorous video can be viewed on Tony G’s blog .

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!
