Tony G is back at the tables

The Member of European Parliament is back doing what he does best with a big winning televised live cash game session.

Poker has really missed the motor mouth of Tony G since he became a member of the European Parliament in 2014, representing Lithuania. 

Luckily for us he has taken his brash antics and fondness for publicity stunts over to the world of politics. He recently tried to make a €1 million bet on the outcome of the Brexit vote and is currently (jokingly) trying to become elected the leader of the UK Independence Party. 

However, it appears poker is still very dear to his heart as last night he made a surprise appearance on Day 1 of the Celebrity Cash Kings live streamed €100/€200 cash game. 

It seems he hasn't forgot how to play either, as alongside the likes of Sam Trickett and Igor Kurganov he ended the session as the big winner, pocketing around €109,000 in profit. 

You can watch the whole session from last night below:

Is this the return of Tony G or was it just a one off? Has the game missed his antics? Let us know in the comments.
