I am also really excited about the Premier League in February -- it is the best event in poker in my eyes. After finishing runner-up and third in the last two years the title has to be mine! I just hope my rivals have the heart and commitment to the game to stop me!”
The main points of the deal include Party Poker picking up the entry-fee tab for Tony at numerous live tournaments around the world, plus he’ll join other famous pros including Mike Sexton and Kara Scott at the online tables under the screen name “TonyG.” All existing players at TonyGPoker.com will have their accounts transferred over to NoblePoker.com, a subsidiary of PartyGaming.
