2017 Cash Game Festival Bulgaria

Cash Game Festival's Maxime Roseau will be vlogging throughout the festival in Bulgaria. Here is a look at the Day 1 of the festival from his unique perspective.

Another €1/€3 hold'em table just opened featuring United Kingdom's Michael Fletcher and Betsafe qualifier Pawel Wakuluk.

If Wakuluk's name sounds familiar, you likely speak Polish and have viewed live EPT streams as he used to be the PokerStars commentator for the Polish community.

There is currently eight hold'em games running with stakes varying from €1/€2, €1/€3 and €2/€5.

A ninth table will open shortly with the €2/€5 no-limit feature table about to open.

While there are no tables featuring a game other than hold'em, a pot-limit Omaha table appears to be ready to be opened soon and players including Cash Game Festival regular Peter La Terra and Cash Game Festival co-founder Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk hope to get a game of Sviten Special running later in the evening.

The €2/€5 no-limit hold'em feature table just kicked off.

Georgia's Vazha Tsimnaridze, who qualified to the festival via Europebet, is in Seat 1. He has only been playing poker for four years never played on a feature table in the past. Despite this, he isn't nervous about his appearance.

In Seat 2 is Czech Republic's Mirek Spicka, whose favorite hand is pocket aces. This is now his second feature table appearance this festival.

Bulgaria's Stanislav Andreev, in Seat 3, is appearing on his first feature table. Like Tsimnaridze, he shared he is not nervous.

Another Georgian qualifier from Europebet Teimurazi Tabagari is in Seat 4. Like many players, he shared he loves to get pocket aces.

Lithuania's Vytautas Milbutas, in Seat 5, is making his first appearance to a Cash Game Festival. He is professional poker player that recently became a streamer for Betsafe Baltics. He said his favorite hand is queen-nine since it includes his favorite number and a lady.

Yesterday's big winner Miroslav Georgiev from Bulgaria in Seat 6 won approximately €2,500 on the early feature table yesterday and is trying to repeat his performance today.

Fellow Bulgarian Ivo Petrov Ivanov in Seat 7 described his profession as being a "rich kid" and that his biggest achievement in poker is "my car."

Rounding off the action is Bulgaria's Georgi Perpeliev in Seat 8. When asked what his favorite hand is, he shared that it "every one of them."

You can follow the action on the Cash Game Festival website, on the Cash Game Festival Twitch channel, and here in our PokerNews coverage.

The poker room is getting busier and busier and there are now 10 tables in motion. The 10th table to open was a €2/€5 pot-limit Omaha table, which is the first of the day that isn't no-limit hold'em.

Two Cash Game Festival regulars in Latvia's Aigars Dambrans and Sweden's Peter La Terra are both on the table and have played against each other in the past.

Betsafe Ambassador Monika "HeyMonia" Zukowicz was thinking of playing some €1/€2 no-limit hold'em. Instead, she decided to join Cash Game Festival host Brandon Allen on the stream.

Zukowicz has plenty of streaming experience as she streams her personal online poker play when not on the road.

Cash Game Festival co-founder Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk has joined the poker tables for the first time this festival. He is now playing €1/€2 no-limit hold'em.

"Franke" is also the co-founder of Slowball, which is basically an art exhibit on wheels. The Slowball crew purchases old cars, fixes them up before artists use them as a moving mural. This year's version of Slowball featured 18 cards traveling from Tallinn, Estonia through Sweden and Finland for a few days.

A few people including "Franke" decided to continue the Slowball journey from the northern parts of Europe all the way down to Sunny Beach, Bulgaria for the Cash Game Festival. His crew arrived literally minutes before a group of players was ready to leave to Stratsin Winery for some tasting.

After the wine tasting, "Franke" and the crew that came with him checked into their hotels. "Franke" and is now having fun on the felts instead of driving around and every few minutes everyone in the poker room can hear screams of "Slowball!" from Madli Karner who was on the trip or "Franke".

Here are some photos from earlier in the day of the organized wine tasting trip to Stratsin WInery.
