2017 Cash Game Festival Tallinn
Day: 5
Welcome to Day 5 of the 2017 Cash Game Festival Tallinn
Welcome to Day 5 of the 2017 Cash Game Festival Tallinn at Olympic Park Casino.
For a handful of players, Day 4 never ended. At the time of writing this, there is still a table running from yesterday with players admitting they have been playing for at least the past 24 hours.
Others were grinding until the early hours before they decided to get some rest before heading back to the casino for a full day of a cash game grind.
Players with the hospitality package were in for a treat earlier in the day. Cash Game Festival Project Manager Andro Loos, who makes sure everything runs smoothly throughout every festival, took the crew to the Estonian Maritime Museum.
This unique structure was built 100 years ago when the country was occupied by the Russians as a seaplane hanger. The Estonian used it for the same purpose during their independence from around the time the first World War ended and 1940 when the Soviet Union took control of the facility.
The Soviets used the facility at that time for mostly storage and let the building dilapidate. It was not in great shape when Estonia became an independent country until it was recently restored and transformed into a unique museum.
The tour guide explained a bit of the history along with some of the different sea craft used over the years.
As is always the case during the Cash Game Festival, there will be two feature tables hosting by Brandon Allen.
The first table kicks off at 5:40 p.m. EEST (7:40 p.m. BST) and will be streamed on a 20-minute delay with stakes at €1/€2 no-limit hold'em on the Cash Game Festival Twitch channel and across multiple media outlets including PokerNews.
Later in the day, there will also be a higher-stakes no-limit hold'em televised feature table on a 20-minute delay at 8:40 p.m. EEST (6:40 p.m. BST).
Stay tuned as the PokerNews Live Reporting updates on who the biggest winners were and other happenings on the final day of the Cash Game Festival Tallinn.
Feature Table Underway!
The €1/€2 televised feature table is fully underway. You can check out the action on the Cash Game Festival Twitch channel and here at PokerNews under the Live Streaming tab.
In Seat 1 is a player from Latvia who shared his name as Trumulis. He said he was not nervous and has played televised poker before.
Estonia's Karol Ottis is making his second trip to the feature table this festival in Seat 2. He mentioned his favorite hand is king-ten.
Triobet Poker Manager Enri Orav, in Seat 3, likely needs no introduction at this point. In addition to being the face of one of the most well-known brands in online poker in the Baltics, he is also one of the Cash Game Festival co-founders along with his friend Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk.
Latvia's Alekse is in Seat 4. He preferred to remain mysterious and not share any information, however, you can check him out on the stream to learn about his playing style.
Israel's Max Collins, in Seat 6, is back on the feature table for the second time this festival. He is a fan of suited connectors, especially eight-seven.
Estonian copywriter Katja Mihno is back again on the feature table in Seat 7. She was one of the bigger winners on one of yesterday's feature tables.

Tauri Taimre Just Joined the Feature Table
He isn't on the stream yet, but in 20 minutes you can watch Estonian local poker legend Tauri Taimre back in action as he just sat down in Seat 8.
Taimre was at the casino into the wee hours of the morning grinding away on a no-limit hold'em table. He shared last night he would be back regardless of how late he was in the casino since Monday is a Holiday in Tallinn.

Day 5 Action
Normally Tallinn's Olympic Park Casino poker room isn't full of cash game activity on a Sunday. Thanks to the Cash Game Festival hitting town it is.
Most players are playing €1/€2 and €2/€2 no-limit hold'em. There is one table of players competing a bit higher with a €5/€5 no-limit table running as well.
Another Big Win for Tauri Taimre
Tauri Taimre has been consistently notching wins just about every day during the 2017 Cash Game Festival Tallinn.
He just did it again on the €1/€2 no-limit hold'em feature table. While he wasn't on the table the entire 2 1/2 hour session, he was the biggest winner at the table banking more than €1,000 in profit.
Taimre and the others at the feature table have moved to a side table while a bigger €2/€5 feature table is being set-up.
