A huge prop bet is about to start between Betsafe Ambassador Monika "HeyMonia Zukowicz and Cash Game Festival Cofounder Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk.

HeyMonia will play in a best of three heads-up match against Franke and two other opponents. The first person or team to wins two of the matches wins the bet.

If HeyMonia wins, Franke will work in a supermarket for one month as a cashier. If he is fired or does not finish the prop bet he needs to transfer €7.48 as a manual bank transfer every day.

If Franke wins, HeyMonia win need to drive his Slowball Arts on Wheels car that does not have air conditioning and not all of the windows decline to Faro, Portugal and buy him extra spicy chicken piri-piri and then drive it to Tallinn, Estonia and deliver it to his office.

The first match is scheduled to be against Poland's Pawel Wakuluk, a Cash Game Festival qualifier from Poland.

The PokerNews Live Reporting team just finished its broadcast of the first of three heads-up matches for the prop bet between Betsafe Ambassador Monika "HeyMonia" Zukowicz and Cash Game Festival Cofounder and Slowball Founder Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk on Facebook Live.

Pawel Wakuluk, who was a former Polish EPT commentator for PokerStars along with Zukowicz, was able to pull one out for Team Franke after he won the first match two games to one. Zukowicz, who nobody has ever seen mad, was visibly annoyed at the end of the match and stormed off.

Next up tomorrow for Team Franke will be Andro Loos. If Loos wins, then Franke will clinch the prop bet without playing himself. If Loos losing, it will go to a rubber match between HeyMonia and Franke.

Assuming the wireless connectivity remains solid, PokerNews plans to broadcast the final matches

While the PokerNews Live Reporting Team was busy capturing the epic heads-up prop bet on Facebook Live, we also were streaming the €1/€3 no-limit hold'em feature table.

Unfortunately we were unable to provide bios as usual in the coverage, however, some players in the line-up was the same as the previous feature table including Denmark's Ronni Borg who was sporting a NordicBet patch who turned in the biggest profit at the table of around €700.

Borg also had some success in Las Vegas this summer more than tripling his buy-in the 2017 World Series of Poker Main Event with a $35,267 cash for his 327th place finish.

VIP Party Raging

We have received reports that the 2017 Cash Game Festival Bulgaria VIP party is out of this world. We will have more reports and photos about it in tomorrow's Day 5 coverage.

Day 4 of the 2017 Cash Game Festival Bulgaria at Platinum Casino in Sunny Beach, Bulgaria has lived up to its booking and then some.

All night long, the casino had a dozen full tables of action across a variety of games. Latvia's Trumulis and Denmark's Ronni Borg won the most money on the first and second televised feature tables respectfully.

However, all eyes were on a prop bet made between Cash Game Festival Co-founder and Slowball Founder Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk and Betsafe Ambassador Monika "HeyMonia" Zukowicz.

Both players refused to admit the other one was better and this led to a grudge match where HeyMonia needs to play three best of three heads-up matches against Franke's team of players.

If Franke wins, HeyMonia needs to drive a Slowball car from Sunny Beach, Bulgaria to Faro Portugal, pick up some extra spicy chicken piri piri and then deliver it to Franke in Tallinn, Estonia. Slowball was an art on wheels exhibition that took place in early August where the organizers purchased very old cars and had them restored before artists made them a work of art. The car HeyMonia would potentially drive would not have air conditioning and only half of the windows go do.

If HeyMonia wins, Franke must work at a supermarket as a cashier for a month. While this sounds potentially easier than what HeyMonia would have to do, it wouldn't be since Franke almost never stays in one place for more than a few days on a time and has many businesses to run.

One of the three matches was held during Day 4 and broadcasted live on on the PokerNews Facebook page. against Poland's Pawel Wakuluk. Both Wakuluk and HeyMonia were Polish commentators for PokerStars for the EPT and were on friendly terms.

HeyMonia wasn't happy when Wakuluk won the first match that took well north of an hour to complete. However, she seemed to be a little more relaxed after she pulled off a win in the second match. The third and final match seemed to be in HeyMonia's hands. She had a bit of a chip lead as she got it all-in with ace-king suited against ace-queen suited. However, Wakuluk managed to get a straight on the turn leaving Zukowicz three outs to potentially take down the hand. Fate wasn't on her side and she lost that hand. Wakuluk had momentum and eventually closed out his opponent.

Tomorrow's first prop bet match will be against Cash Game Festival Project Manager Andro Loos. If Loos wins (no pun intended), Franke will not need to be played as HeyMonia will be unable to overtake a 2-0 advantage to avoid driving around Europe in a Slowball car.

However, if HeyMonia pulls off the win, she will play Franke in a rubber match.

In addition to all the exciting poker, the weather was perfect during the day with many players sharing they were at the beach or instead enjoying the pool at their hotel. later in the evening, players with the hospitality package were invited to attend a VIP dinner.

Tomorrow's activity away from the poker tables will be a snorkling trip at 1 p.m. Unlike some of the other activities, the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be unlikely able to broadcast any of it live on Facebook. However, we will share reports from players on how the adventure was.

Stay tuned tomorrow as we provide coverage for the final day of the 2017 Cash Game Festival Gibraltar.
