Peter La Terra and Nickolay J. Petrov Win High Hand Jackpots
The 2016 Cash Game Festival Bulgaria's feature table will continue for about another hour and play is expected to continue until the wee hours of the morning. However, the two jackpots for both the highest hands in pot-limit Omaha and no-limit hold'em ended at midnight with two players winning a package valued at €1,700 to head to the next Cash Game Festival taking place at Aspers Casino in London from September 28 to October 3.
Sweden's Peter La Terra, who came to Bulgaria after attending the previous Cash Game Festival in Malta, locked down the high hand Omaha jackpot with quad-jacks and will now appear at three Cash Game Festivals in a row.
The hold'em high hand jackpot was very exciting. Until the last hour, the previous best hand was a king-high straight flush. However, the poker room erupted in excitement after local Bulgarian player Nickolay J. Petrov automatically shipped a package with a royal-flush.
