Australia Day is coming to a close and what a day it has been. In fact, what a few days it has been!<\/p>\n
Part of my deal with PartyPoker<\/a> is that for some major events I will have my own personal concierge and Jessie has been at my beck and call 24 hours a day since the weekend. When we sat down and negotiated this, the guys at PartyPoker.com didn\u2019t think I was being serious and laughed \u2013 I kept bringing it up, they kept laughing it off but eventually I got my own way. What a contract I have signed!<\/p>\n I know top VIP players in Party\u2019s VIP scheme<\/a> get a top notch concierge service but let me say \u2013 it has to be nothing compared to what the G gets. The personal concierge could just be the best thing about this deal! I cannot believe that PartyPoker.com buckled to this in the end! Phil Hellmuth eat your heart out \u2013 even Julius Caesar didn\u2019t have his own personal concierge and I don\u2019t get to look ridiculous like Hellmuth does.<\/p>\n Anyway, since the introduction of my exclusive concierge things have been going really well. I made my money back in the $100k buy-in event by reaching the final table and finishing fifth and I had a lot of fun sending opponents on their bikes!<\/p>\n Talking of the bike, it is a top of the range mountain bike \u2013 I am hoping now that a bike manufacturer comes in with an offer of sponsorship! I arrived for the $100k buy-in event on my bike with Jessie my personal concierge and her glamorous assistant and really should have not needed to ride it out but got unlucky in a few marginal situations.<\/p>\n I bust Howard Lederer on the final table and chased him out of the televised table area on the bike. I have huge respect for Howard but he has to know when it is bike time! It was also great to bust Tom Dwan \u2013 I desperately tried to get Durrrr to ride the bike away from the table but he was having none of it. All the money went in and I had the best of it with my KQ offsuit \u2013 Tom had Q10 offsuit. A queen on the flop meant it was bike time for Durrrr. Tom doesn\u2019t need a bike he needs a trike!<\/p>\n Talking of another person who needs a trike it brings me on to Luke \u2018FullFlush\u2019 Schwartz<\/a>. I heard he said the following about me:<\/p>\n ‘I heard what Tony G had to say and it\u2019s just LOLZ all round. I know I like to chat sh@t but I think most people who know me agree I will destroy that joker at the table’<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Luke, most people who know you don\u2019t say the same. I will bring my bike to Vegas for the Premier League<\/a> to mark the departures of the experienced players who have put in time and effort into learning about the game.<\/p>\n For you, I will bring a trike – you aren\u2019t off stabilizers yet mate! You will need three wheels to keep firmly on the ground. You have a lot to learn about heart and commitment to the game. I think I paid you a compliment by saying that you were the new Devilfish \u2013 the Fish has the game to back up the mouth.<\/p>\n Today I arrived for Day 1C of the Aussie Millions Main Event with the glamorous Jessie on board \u2013 she\u2019s brought me coffee, refreshments and frequent updates from Nadal versus Murray. I would like to thank all the fantastic people at Crown Casino for their fantastic hospitality and for allowing me to cycle on the premises. Most of all I would like to thank Jessie\u2026.<\/p>\n How about I come in on a Harley next time? Perhaps I can give Kara Scott a lift on the back of it?<\/p>\n As I write I have just finished and sit sixth in chips. The team at PokerNews are live reporting<\/a>. Keep up with the action through the eyes of these fantastic live reporters and Happy Australia Day!<\/p>\n I\u2019m now off to jump into the cash game here. I have the bike and Durrrr has promised to ride it out if I bust him!<\/p>\n For several exclusive pictures of Tony G and his personal concierge, check out the PartyPoker Facebook page<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Australia Day is coming to a close and what a day it has been.
