A new batch of players will be competing at higher stakes of €5/€5 no-limit hold'em.

There has been lots of action on the €1/€2 feature table. Simone Montanarella joined the feature table about half an hour ago and was involved in a recent hand with Mauro Caden.

Montanarella raised to €7 with {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} and got calls from four other players including Mauro Caden who was holding {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. After the action folded to Montanarella, he fired out a continuation bet of €20 after the {K-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades} appeared on the flop to give him top pair. Everyone folded but Caden who called with a flush draw.

Caden checked when the {6-Diamonds} appeared on the turn to complete his flush. Montanarella then bet €50 with his top pair and nut flush draw before Caden check-raised to €120. Montanarella opted to flat-call.

Caden then shoved his remaining stack of €228 into the pot after the {9-Clubs} completed the board on the river. Montanarella called and the dealer awarded Caden a pot worth almost €800.

The feature table is always very interesting, however, this one even more so seems to be full of action.

A pair of Italians just battled it out. The action began innocently enough with Italy's John Catena raising to €7 with {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. From one seat over, Federico Drassich called with {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} before his neighbor Alessandro Natale three-bet to €40 with {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}.

Play folded back around to Catena who fired out a four-bet to €120. Drassich folded before Natale five-bet to €310 and Catena called.

Catena hit top pair on the {4-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop, but was still behind the pocket queens of his opponent who fired out for €195.

Catena called and was in trouble and drawing dead after the {Q-Diamonds} hit the turn. He called an all-in bet to create a huge pot worth €1,600, which was shipped to Natale after the {10-Hearts} completed the board on the river.

The first feature table of the day just kicked off with players facing off at €1/€2 no limit hold'em. Here is a look at some of the players.

Italy's John Catena in Seat 1 is an experienced poker veteran having played the game for a decade. This is the first time he has appeared on a Cash Game Festival feature table.

Federico Drassich in Seat 2 makes another return to the feature table. So far, he has been the biggest winner in any single session after shipping almost €2,700 on yesterday's late feature table. Drassich was witnessed playing throughout the night, and shared he was up and down.

Another Italian, Alessandro Natale, is in Seat 3 and shared that he loves suited connectors.

Mauro Caden, also from Italy is in Seat 4. The 61-year old shared that he used to be a farmer and that this is his first time playing on a televised poker table despite playing the game for 43 years.

Sweden's Per Lindholm in Seat 7 was yesterday's early feature table big winner. He was full of energy and was snacking on Snickers and bananas before the feature table. Lindholm shared he has had a productive festival on the poker tables and having a great time.
