Joa, Hierro and Erala Were Big Winners at Day 3 of the 2017 Cash Game Festival Tallinn
Estonian poker pro and coach Mark Joa took his opponents to school and was the biggest winner of the feature table on Day 3 of the 2017 Cash Game Festival Tallinn at Olympic Park Casino after banking about €2,800 in profit on a €5/€10 no-limit hold'em table. Joa is known by many Estonian poker players for opening the country's bigger poker school in 2015.
Also performing well under the lights and camera on the same table was Spain's David Huerga Hierro with about €2,300 in profit. Most of the duo's winnings came out of the pocket of Latvia's Janis Mickans who was unable to get things going. His wallet was more than €5,000 lighter after the televised poker stream was completed for the day.
Another well-known player in Estonia was the top performer on the early €1/€2 no-limit hold'em with Kristo Erala winning over €300. Erala recently made a name for himself by winning the Estonian Championship Main Event a little more than a week ago.
The poker room was full of action all evening long. Despite this waiting lists for most tables were short. This was due to players taking breaks for dinner and some choosing to enjoy the VIP party hosted by the casino.
Tomorrow is expected to be as big as today. Those with the hospitality package are scheduled to participate in a disc golf competition at 1 p.m. ET. The televised streams will start early again tomorrow with the first table kicking off action at 3:40 p.m. EEST (5:40 p.m. EEST) on a 20-minute delay followed by the second feature table beginning three hours later.
