The feature table just wrapped up. One of the players featured was Sweden's Niklas Blomqvist. This wasn't his first rodeo behind the cameras as he was at the Cash Game Festival in Malta during June.
Blomqvist explained he was on a rollercoaster ride and that things weren't looking good early.
"I ended up ahead £35, but I was down £200 at one point," Blomqvist said. "Then I won a couple of small pots and doubled up again. It was a rollercoaster table for me."
"I ended up in the plus, which is always good," added Blomqvist. "I played with a couple of people i knew from before including Maret Komarova, Daniel Nasman and Kalle Fagerstrom."
Blomqvist shared he is leaving tomorrow and is looking forward to attending the VIP party to wrap up the trip.
This is very unlikely to be the last Cash Game Festival for Blomqvist as he put his odds on attending the next live event in Tallinn at 90 percent.
