This week in the PartyPoker Weekly, we'll tell you all about Tony G the pirate, give you all the details on the World Domination promotion, explain how you could be making your way to Melbourne for the Aussie Millions, and more!

Head to the Aussie Millions

It's almost time for one of the biggest tournaments of the year, as 2012 kicks off with a bang this coming January in Melbourne, Australia. Each and every year, the best players from all around the world descend upon Melbourne to take part in the Aussie Millions and PartyPoker is the best place to win an all-inclusive package.

The Main Event costs $10,600 to enter and will take place from Jan. 22 to Jan. 28, 2012. You could win a $16,000 tournament package from as little as $2 or, better yet, you could win a package for absolutely no outlay.

PartyPoker is hosting an Aussie Millions freeroll every day, and these will award the top 25 players with seats in to the $2 Aussie Millions Sub-Qualifier Speed Rebuy events. These tournaments will then award seats into the $68+$2 Satellite Qualifiers and then its as simple as picking up a $640+$40 Aussie Millions Satellite seat where one in 15 players will take home a huge $16,000 Aussie Millions package!

Walk the Plank

According to Tony G, "pirates are on the rise" and he and Max Pescatori are going to make "the Italians, French and Russians walk the plank" at the upcoming PartyPoker.it WPT Venice Main Event."

Tony G spoke to Pescatori about the event in a humorous video which can be viewed on his most recent blog.

Achieve World Domination

The World Domination promotion is in full gear at PartyPoker and it really is not to be missed, because you could go home with a prize of $100,000.

Players have until Dec. 31 to dominate the world and it's as simple as earning PartyPoints. Each time 10 PartyPoints are earned, players will be awarded a city from around the world. The cities are assigned at random and most cities carry an instant prize of cash or tournament seats. The biggest prizes are awarded for conquering entire countries, and capturing all 72 cities is how you can achieve world domination!

Make sure you take to the felt now and you can start taking over the world!

The Winter Million

The Winter Million, and its $1 million guarantee, is set to be one of the biggest online tournaments held in 2012.

The buy-in for the Winter Million is $600+$40 and the action is set for Feb. 5. Don't miss out on taking part in the championship tournament as PartyPoker is already running dozens of qualifiers from as little as $1.
