In case you missed the antics yesterday, Tony G made quite an attention-grabbing entrance to the 2011 Aussie Millions $100k Challenge:
Tony Bloom opened his button to 58,000 only to have Erik Seidel three-bet to 149,000.
"I raise the pot!" announced Bloom as Seidel quickly folded as players headed on dinner break.
Tony Bloom bumped it to 72,000 from the small blind and Sam Trickett made the call from the big blind.
