While you can check out plenty of big action on the featured £25/£50 no-limit hold'em, big stacks are a plenty on the £5/£10/£25 pot-limit Omaha table in the middle of the Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford City poker room.
One of the bigger names on the £5/£10/£25 pot-limit Omaha is Ville Vilhaunen. He was also one of the shorter stacks until as he shared with us he tripled up when his aces were good to £6,000.
Vilhaunen shared that the "action is going very good" and that "it is nice to play some live poker for a change."
With a few of the stacks over £10,000 there is likely to be some huge pots when some of the mountain stacks collide.
Two more tables just opened and we are up to 26 tables total! Most of the action around the room is low-stakes no-limit hold'em and pot-limit Omaha, however there are a few mid-stakes and higher-stakes tables sprinkled in. The two highest stakes games are the £25/£50 no-limit hold'em feature table and the £5/£10/£25 pot-limit Omaha game.
We caught up with Michael Renato Graucob, otherwise known as the 2016 Cash Game Festival London table tennis champion. Graucob shared with us that he played in some lower limit action, but lady-luck wasn't on his side commenting, "Today I played £1/£2 no-limit Texas hold'em, but didn't win."
Graucob mentioned that he didn't have much luck on the felts the entire trip, however, he was still thrilled about winning the ping-pong tournament that took place during Day 3. "Winning the ping-pong title in itself it is a win!" stated Graucob. "It was one of the greatest things I have done so far. Hopefully I will keep winning them and maybe even next time I will win money playing poker."
The Swedish poker player had a blast despite going home without notching up a win. "I had such a nice time meeting some amazing people," shared Graucob. "It was an amazing event for me at an amazing casino. Everything was just fantastic with lots of action."
Despite flying home with some of his friends, he is doing his best to join every last moment at Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford City, the home of the 2016 Cash Game Festival London. "I fly home in a few hours, but will be here until they call me to the plane," laughed Graucob.
Graucob now is playing a play money game of Sviten Special with friends he flew in with. He describes it as a fun game he regularly plays at the Krukan cardroom on a regular basis.
The £25/£50 feature table just wrapped up with Romania's Vasile Cosmin Stancu as today's big winner with a profit of £15,000 and Matthew Moss the biggest loser of the table dropping £13,500.
It should be no surprise that the biggest hand of tonight's feature table also feature this duo. The action started off innocently enough with Stancu raising to £175 with 
from late position. However, from there the action quickly heated up with Moss from the blinds raised the action to £550 with 
before calling Stancu's four-bet to £1,600 creating a £3,800 pot before the flop.
The flop of 
gave Stancu a set and Moss top-pair to facilitate even more action. Moss checks the action before calling an almost pot-sized bet of £3,200 from Stancu.
Both players checked when the 
came on the river, giving Moss a some hope with a nut-flush draw. The 
helped neither player, but Moss decided to give it a stab betting £4,300. Stancu quickly called, and shipped a £18,100 pot, the biggest hand on the feature table of the night and the second biggest during the Cash Game Festival at the Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford City.
