The 2016 Cash Game Festival London is as much about lower-stakes games than higher stakes games. As we already mentioned, the first feature table is a £1/£3 affair of mostly recreational players having a good time while trying to leave the table a little richer.

The feature table is a mix of self-described amateurs and pro's. Here is a quick look:

United Kingdom's Vinnie Anderson describes himself as a gambler by profession and has played poker for more than 30 years, while fellow country-mate Eric Napier Ramkeesoon has been playing for a much shorter three years and works as a security officer.

Also from the UK is Chris Yong who explained poker is a temporary career while he is training to be a lawyer. Asper's regular Jack Molyneux is a teacher by day and a regular ring-game player when outside of the classroom.

The last player from the UK, who is currently a barman that loves playing poker, just wanted to be referred to as "Tim".

As many players came from outside the UK to join in on the exciting action, it isn't surprising that the remaining three also came to Aspers Casino from outside the country.

Sweden is represented on the feature table by two players in Michael Graucob and Sebastian Lexander. Graucob describes himself as a poker pro while Lexander explained that he is a semi-pro with a day-job in a food store.

Turkey's Jem Misirlioglu is another full time poker player who traveled far to be part of the first ever Cash Game Poker Festival in the UK.
