First Cash Game Festival in Bratislava is About to Begin
The Cash Game Festival Bratislava is about to begin at the Banco Casino Bratislava, for five days of nonstop cash game poker on April 4-8.
This marks the first time the festival has visited the Slovakian capital conveniently located just an hour away from the Austrian capital of Vienna and the Hungarian capital of Budapest.
The location is just one thing for the Cash Game Festival as for the first time the festival is also collaborating with the MPN Poker Tour which begins on Thursday, April 5.
Another new first is that for the first time Unibet will be one of the partners, with many of the brand's ambassadors planning to join in on the action including Ian Simpson, David Lappin, and Dara O'Kearney.
Cash Game Festival Co-Founder Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk is thrilled about all of the new aspects the latest Cash Game Festival in Bratislava will bring.
"The upcoming Cash Game Festival is a first in many ways," von Zweigbergk said. "It is our first time in Bratislava, Slovakia, our first time collaborating with an existing recognizable poker tour such as MPNPT, and our first time with our new partner in Unibet. I am very excited about all of this."
Existing partners Betsson, NordicBet, and 32Red will also be very present during the festival with qualifiers and ambassadors joining the action on and away from the felt.
Each day, the Cash Game Festival will host the two televised feature tables twice per day at 6 p.m. CEST and 9 p.m CEST. broadcasted on a 20-minute delay at the Cash Game Festival Twitch channel. You can alternatively follow the action by clicking on the Live Stream tab that will be in our PokerNews coverage once the action is live.
For the first-time, United Kingdom's young gun duo of George Sandford and Henry Kilbane will be hosting the stream with guests appearing throughout the week. Sandford and Kilbane guest hosted during the last Cash Game Festival in London and brought tons of energy and excitement to fans of the stream.
Today's early table features €1/€2 no-limit hold'em featuring Cash Game Festival regular Jeffrey Lanser and David Lappin. The stakes then move up to €2/€5 no-limit hold'em for the later table featuring Cash Game Festival regulars Peter La Terra and Jon Kyte, who holds a feature table record for finishing the most times with a profit.
The action will also be hot away from the table with festival organizers arranging plenty of fun activities for those with the hospitality package. This afternoon, many of the regular players on the tour have messaged in that they have arrived in Bratislava and are enjoying some of the pleasures the Slovakian capital has to offer before hitting the tables later in the day.
The Cash Game Festival Bratislava officially kicks off at 5 p.m. CEST with welcome drinks. Stayed tuned to PokerNews as we cover the festival from start to finish.
