Pool Party, VIP Party, and Poker Highlights 2016 Cash Game Festival Bulgaria Day 4 Action
Day 4 action at the 2016 Cash Game Festival Bulgaria began for many players with an exciting pool party and ended with dancing and drinking all night long at a VIP party at The Bounce.
However, this didn't stop the poker action from being hot as Platinum Casino was hopping with poker action all day and all night long.
There was a bit of excitement on the two feature tables hosted by Brandon Allen. Swedish e-sports sensation "Pani" from Dreamdogs played on both tables yesterday creating a good buzz for everyone else involved. Many Cash Game Festival veterans were also on the feature table including the festival's co-founder Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk, Maret Komarova, Janar Kokk, Jack Fenton, and Guts sponsored player Kalle Fagerstrom.
Also, making his first appearance not only on the feature table but on the poker tables in his life was SlotsMillion.com sponsored player "Mr. Casino". He may not be known in poker circles, but he hosts a very popular Twitch channel where he streams his casino play which is mostly video slots with the occasional dabbing on the roulette tables as well.
Tomorrow is the final day of the festival. Action will begin with a city tour of Sunny Beach for those with the hospitality package followed by more poker action. Many of those not attending the city tour will either be already playing or enjoying outdoor activities thanks to the perfect weather.
As has been the case every day during the festival, live streaming for the feature table for tomorrow is once again scheduled at lower stakes at 5:30 p.m. and higher stakes at 8:30 p.m. on a 20 minute delay.
Stay tuned at PokerNews for the next four days as we report some of the hottest action at the Cash Game Festival. Coverage will begin around 5:00 p.m.
Cash Game Festival Bulgaria Pool Party
Earlier today, many players at the Cash Game Festival Bulgaria took a break from the felts to relax with some drinks, sunshine, and great company at the pool party.

David Grabinski in the Booth, Jimmy Lundemo Promptly Ships a Pot
Sweden's David Grabinski just joined the live commentary for the televised feature table. One player he has played against often, in Jimmy Lundemo, has been active on the table.
In a recent hand, Lundemo triple-barrel bet with 
on a 
board against Yuliyan Kolev who was holding 
. Despite missing his flush-draw, Kolev went into the tank but eventually folded a €432 pot to his opponent.
Bouncing Off to "The Bounce"
The action is buzzing at Platinum Casino, however, a bunch of players are getting ready to hit one of Sunny Beach's best hot spots, "The Bounce" for the Cash Game Festival VIP party.
The party begins in 20 minutes at 11:00 p.m., and will end when it ends. The film production crew is also heading to capture all the action which we will share during the coverage of Day 5 tomorrow.
"Mr. Casino" Joins the Commentary
SlotsMillion.com sponsored player "Mr. Casino" is no stranger on commentating as he has a very popular Twitch channel. However, the big difference is that he hasn't played much poker in the past and his stream is all about entertaining the mass while playing online casino games.
Kostadin Kostadinov's Top Five Places to Visit in Bulgaria
While many poker players traveled from throughout Europe to attend the 2016 Cash Game Festival Bulgaria, not everyone had to travel too far.
Bulgaria's Kostadinov only had to travel about two hours from where he lives in Varna to get in on the action. He is currently on a side €1/€2 no-limit hold'em table with a bunch of names that should be familiar if you were following the live stream from the first feature table including Cash Game Festival co-founder Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk, Jack Fenton, Kalle Fagerstrom, and SlotsMillion.com sponsored player known as "Mr. Casino."
Kostadinov has been loving the action and meeting new people. He heads back home tomorrow before heading on vacation to Pirin Mountain in what he describes as one of his top five destinations in Bulgaria.
With that in mind, we got a complete look what Kostadinov believes to be the best places to visit in Bulgaria.
Kostadin Kostadinov's Top Five Places to Visit in Bulgaria:
- Kaliakra - A long, narrow headland off the Black Sea.
- Sofia - The capital of Bulgaria.
- Pirin Mountains - Some of the most breathtaking views in Bulgaria.
- Plovdiv - Bulgaria's second largest city.
- Varna - The sea capital of Bulgaria.
2016 Cash Game Festival Bulgaria Day 3 Highlights
€2/€5 Feature Table Begins
Brandon Allen just kicked off the live stream of today's second feature table. He will likely have guest commentators throughout the night. Here is a look at some of the players:
Fahredin Mustafov, also known as "Feri" to his friends, is one of Bulgaria's biggest poker legends. In addition to playing live around the country, he also also shipped the PokerStars Sunday Million under the screenname "Feribo" late last year for a huge six-digit haul.
Sweden's Omar Eljach sits next to him in seat 2. His name may sound familiar as he has been on the feature table earlier in the festival as well as joined Allen in the commentary booth as a guest.
In seat 3 is Bulgaria's Yuliyan Kolev. Tonight represents the third time on the feature table in the festival and also was on the losing end of the biggest pot of the festival thus far for a total of €3,400 after his 
proved to be no match for Jasen Dichov's 
on a 
board.
As promised earlier, Estonia's Janar Kokk is back in action in seat 4. Kokk, who now calls Malta home, won some of the biggest pots of the festival during last night's televised table.
Israel's Tatyana Kasnrkina looks right at home in seat 5 despite this not only being her first televised feature table during this festival, but outside it as well. Playing poker for 10 years, she shared that she is no stranger to big action claiming her biggest pot won was for $10,000 in Moscow.
Sweden's Jimmy Lundemo is no stranger to feature tables from both sides of the coin. He has helped out the televised table production team by "clicking" the action and during the last Cash Game Festival in Malta he was competing in front of an audience on the felts. Lundemo confirmed he was confident sharing that he is "Not nervous at all."
He enjoyed showcasing his poker skills in front of a crowd sharing that, "I love to show action so the game will be fun for the viewers."
To the delight of his fans, Sweden's "Pani" is back, this time in seat 8. He is best known for being involved on the e-sports team Lemondogs.
The table is rounded out by local player who prefers to be referred to as simply "Jordan". The businessman claims to have played on a televised table before and to not be nervous.
Feature Table Intermission
The first feature table just ended and the second one is currently being set-up. The stakes will be €2/€5, and fans of the e-sports superstar "Pani" are in luck as he will be returning to action in front of the cameras once again.
One of last night's big winners, Estonia's Janar Kokk, will also be on the table. We will have full bios of all the players on the feature table before the action begins.
