We caught up with Michael Renato Graucob, otherwise known as the 2016 Cash Game Festival London table tennis champion. Graucob shared with us that he played in some lower limit action, but lady-luck wasn't on his side commenting, "Today I played £1/£2 no-limit Texas hold'em, but didn't win."
Graucob mentioned that he didn't have much luck on the felts the entire trip, however, he was still thrilled about winning the ping-pong tournament that took place during Day 3. "Winning the ping-pong title in itself it is a win!" stated Graucob. "It was one of the greatest things I have done so far. Hopefully I will keep winning them and maybe even next time I will win money playing poker."
The Swedish poker player had a blast despite going home without notching up a win. "I had such a nice time meeting some amazing people," shared Graucob. "It was an amazing event for me at an amazing casino. Everything was just fantastic with lots of action."
Despite flying home with some of his friends, he is doing his best to join every last moment at Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford City, the home of the 2016 Cash Game Festival London. "I fly home in a few hours, but will be here until they call me to the plane," laughed Graucob.
Graucob now is playing a play money game of Sviten Special with friends he flew in with. He describes it as a fun game he regularly plays at the Krukan cardroom on a regular basis.
Two more tables just opened and we are up to 26 tables total! Most of the action around the room is low-stakes no-limit hold'em and pot-limit Omaha, however there are a few mid-stakes and higher-stakes tables sprinkled in. The two highest stakes games are the £25/£50 no-limit hold'em feature table and the £5/£10/£25 pot-limit Omaha game.
One of the bigger names on the £5/£10/£25 pot-limit Omaha is Ville Vilhaunen. He was also one of the shorter stacks until as he shared with us he tripled up when his aces were good to £6,000.
