\"\"Well, well, well. I think Vegas has been very good to me this time around. I can hardly wait for the WPT London Poker Classic now and the PartyPoker.com World Open VI. I am on fire\u2026all I can say is watch out everybody and watch out cash games at Crockfords – Tony G is on his A game!<\/p>\n

I have been staying at the Wynn and taking part in The Big Game for Fox. I cannot give any results away but let’s just say Hellmuth was on my table, I destroyed him. Negreanu the bike thief? Bike time!<\/p>\n

This will be a great show. I cannot wait until it\u2019s shown on television, I think it will be my best show ever. I dispatched every super pro ruthlessly \u2013 first I removed their soul, followed by their hearts and then their spinal columns! Finally, of course, I took their money!<\/p>\n

There was an exception though \u2013 a lovely \u2018Loose Cannon\u2019 called Elizabeth who you can see with me pictured. She was the recipient of the guiding hand of Tony G \u2013 I guided her through this brutal line-up and through the post show party at XS. It was great that this loose cannon had a twin sister too \u2013 two loose cannons running amok with Tony G the lion in a top Vegas night spot? Perish the thought!<\/p>\n

How I Humbled The Poker Brat<\/h3>\n

Again i wont be specific but you will see that Phil makes a remarkable confession on the show. Can he live with me anymore? This was a magical moment as I watched him pack up his chips and get the bus home. I nearly fell off my chair! I feel vindicated now \u2013 this is what I warned Surinder Sunar at the WPT Grand Prix De Paris all that time ago and what I have warned my rivals since. I recently got invited to the Raising the Stakes poker dinner in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital at Les Ambassadeurs on the 30th September.<\/p>\n

This is a brilliant event organized by the captains of the gaming industry and I am very much looking forward to it. See: http:\/\/www.gosh.org\/raisingthestakes\/<\/a> for more information. One problem \u2013 I am due to be on the same table as Hellmuth. Don\u2019t worry Phil it isn\u2019t a poker table it\u2019s a dinner table \u2013 you cannot let down the world\u2019s biggest children\u2019s hospital just because you cannot be anywhere near me! Don\u2019t play it like a tournament Phil!<\/p>\n

Attacked By Steve Wynn’s Dog!<\/h3>\n

Tony G is running good but there was a slight downside. I got attacked by one of Steve Wynn\u2019s vicious German Shepherd guard dogs. I can see through the souls of my opponents at a poker table but my dog whispering skills are still not up to scratch.<\/p>\n

It all started when they sent one of Mr Wynn\u2019s Rolls Royce\u2019s to pick me up and take me to a nice villa which was next to Steve\u2019s. I had to have a little peek and the dog reared up at me \u2013 easy does it Rover! I came away with no teeth marks \u2013 if you were a German Shepherd and you saw a lion would you be scared?<\/p>\n

I also invited the whole pokernews strategy team for a get together and got them a villa. Randy Lew (Nanonoko) and \u2018LitleBastrd\u2019came down. Randy Lew plays 24 tables at once and is the best poker player that I know – meeting him in person was unreal and to think that there are genius poker players that are much better then me is sick. I was in awe of this guy –\u00a0 he is the most special poker player I know who can play 24 tables and win over $1 million+++ over a long period. This is a special, special kid – catch his videos at http:\/\/strategy.pokernews.com\/ <\/a><\/p>\n

The WPT London Poker Classic cannot come soon enough! And yes, Mr Alexander Kravchenko, I am still waiting to hear about your parasailing Russian donkey entrance<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
