Estonian entrepreneur Tauri Taimre, aged 28, is in Seat 1. He considers himself a cash game specialist and stays away from poker tournaments. He bought in for €300 and shared his favorite hand is six-three offsuit. He explained that he is not nervous despite this being his first time on a televised feature table.

Estonian IT specialist asked to be referred to as Jurgen also bought in for €300 sits in Seat 2.

Another Estonian IT specialist in Viktor Sahhatski is in Seat 3. He bought in for €250 and shared he has been playing poker for 2 1/2 years. This is his first televised table experienced and shared he is a little bit nervous. His favorite hand is pocket aces.

Spain's Pablo Vidal Vazquez is in Seat 4. Vazquez has been playing poker for four years and shared he is a professional player. He bought in for €500 and said, "I'm just excited to begin."

Cash Game Festival regular Niklas Blomqvist from Sweden was missing in action the first two festivals this year in London and Slovenia. He has made his return in Tallinn and immediately popped on the feature table in Seat 6. Like Sahhatski, Blomqvist's favorite hand is pocket rockets.

Lithuania's Pavel was on Seat 7 also bought in for €500. He shared with PokerNews during welcome drinks that he hopes that he is looking forward to higher stakes games as the festival progresses. He isn't a stranger to these games as he once won €10,000 in a session.

Estonia's Roland Luik rounds off the table in Seat 8 and classified himself as an amateur poker pro. He one-upped everyone and started off the action with €510 or €10 than anyone else on the table. While he is showing some confidence, he did admit that he is maybe a little bit nervous.
