Tony G wins the Betfair Asian Tour Event

[TightEnd]

Say what you like about the man, and of course most people do..but he has a sick amount of talent.

beats 400 runners to $450,00k first prize

Other finalists included Jeff Kimber form the UK and Lee "Kill Phil" Nelson

[TightEnd]

He donated half his prize to Asian and Australian charities and the trophy to the Singaporean runner-up, to allow it to stay in the host country.

315 runners I believe, and I still don't like him

lol, what a rubdown

"Here, you can take this piece of shit, I don't want it. You can put it on your mantlepiece to remind you of the day you were bested by Tony G"

[byronkincaid]

maybe it is such a big trophy that he would have had to purchase an extra seat on the airplane for it.

Bloke just showing a bit of class and paying deference to the locals in a new market for poker IMO. But you believe what you will. 

[moritzey]

Am I the only one here who actually likes the guy?

Fair enough, his table chat is sometimes crossing that fine line between entertaining and offensive, but have you ever seen him loose a hand? He comes across as a horrible winner, but at the same time very polite when loosing and doesn't hand out more than he can take - but that's only my limited youtube experience of this guy..

Oh, and he makes poker much more fun to watch

[Bazzaboy]

wp that man

[The Dundonian]

He railed me on an  MTT online final table, took the time out to point out where I was going wrong and I learned a few key lessons!
Why would he do that ? He had nothing at all to gain and know one would have ever known!
Top bloke as far as I'm concerned.

[Foggy]

There are plenty of people that use the chat to their advantage, but you have to admire the results that he has achieved and he will win more in the future.

If he wants to give me a few hours of his time in mouthing or his thoughts on the game I would glady accept

[kvnstv]

Would be nice to see him getting a bit of credit, he had been panned for some of his antics and quite often this has been deserved. But when he makes a nice gesture people should respond to the act in question and not be blighted by previous impressions of the man.

I had a bet on him on betfair  and am still waiting for them to pay out.   He is a world class player and proves it time and time again.   He said in his blog before the Tourney that he was feeling very confidient and could win.  Thats why i put

the bet on.     

Cheers Tony G

even though I like Tony G and believe this gesture to be genuine, you cannot and should not forget the things he had done in the past, thats why there are differing opinions, he does not help himself.

I love the guy.

Too many folk in this game lack personality and are put off by loudmouths, its a skill.  I love the table talk.

Sure he hands out a few rub downs but I am sure he would take it back if given it.
