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!"

Qualify For WPT Vienna

PartyPoker Weekly: Tony G Versus Jungleman, WPT Vienna Satellites and More! 101

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?
