Tony G has qualified

We recap some stories you may have missed including MILLIONS Vegas announced and Alex Foxen breaks a GPI record.





Tony plays them like a set

It's always fun to see Tony G back at the high stakes tables and this week he is in Montenegro for the Triton High Roller series and as always he is a catchphrase machine. 

Here he is making sets for fun against Richard Yong, or as he calls it, qualifying:

Foxen breaks GPI record

You saw him at the table with Tony and you have pretty much seen him wherever there are final tables on stream.

This week Alex Foxen has another major accolade, he has just set the record for the longest time ever at the top of the Global Poker Index rankings. Foxen has been there now for 31 weeks in a row.

He has $11,627,968 in career earnings, much of which have come in those 31 weeks and he overtakes former record holder Fedor Holz who stayed on top for 30 weeks in a row.

MILLIONS announce first US event

There is little doubt that partypoker MILLIONS has become a Grand Slam tour alongside the WSOP, EPT and WPT, but the one thing that was lacking was a US event, until now. 

MILLIONS Vegas will take place during the WSOP at the Aria between June 28 and July 2 (just before the WSOP Main Event). It will have a $10,300 buy-in and a $5 million guarantee. 

Also this week it was announced that Online MILLIONS would indeed have a $20 million guarantee again (but a $10,300 buy-in this time), something which was previously speculated but not confirmed.
