The biggest feature table thus far of the Cash Game Festival is fully underway. The stakes are €5/€10 no-limit hold'em.

Lithuania's Oleg is to the left of the dealer in Seat 1. He shared that he is a shipbroker and has been playing poker for a decade.

Germany's Benny Hupfer, in Seat 2, almost exclusively plays cash games. Despite playing poker since 2009, he explained he was nervous to be on the feature table since it was his first experience playing under the lights and camera.

Estonia's Mark Joa, in Seat 3, is both a poker pro and coach. Joa explained that he Estonia’s biggest coaching project ABC Pokker in 2015. One year before, in 2014, he attended the first Cash Game Festival in history in Tallinn.

Estonia's Rauno Tipner, in Seat 4, may have been serious and may have been joking when he began playing poker at six years old. Some players began playing for play money as soon as they could hold a deck of cards, so perhaps it is the case. He shared this is his first televised feature table and he is nervous about how well he will do.

Spain's David Huerga Hierro, in Seat 5, was on the feature earlier in the festival. He shared with us he has been very successful at the high limit games.

Latvia's Janis Mickans, in Seat 6, said his favorite hand is four-two. We know poker players like to bluff and sometimes that extends to the media as well.

Estonia's Erki Andressoo in Seat 8 said his biggest poker accomplishment was "bluffing Mark Joa out of a pot multiple times." He will have a chance to try to do this in front of many witnesses with both players appearing on the stream.
