Welcome to Day 4 of the 2017 Cash Game Festival Bulgaria at Platinum Casino located steps away from the sunshine and sand of the Black Sea in Sunny Beach, Bulgaria. The first three days of the festival have been a success both on and away from the poker tables and festival organizers expect Day 4 to be even better.

The action on the felts during the first half of the festival has allowed players to play many games across a wide variety of limits. Of course, most of the tables running were offered in no-limit hold'em as this form of poker has proven to be popular with many pros and recreational players and is easy to teach to the many tourists visiting the casino and seeing poker for the first time.

Other games running during the festival so far have included pot-limit Omaha, Sviten Special and dealer's choice. While it isn't uncommon for the dealer's choice game to include some crazy Omaha related games where three boards are run and players or the board receiving a bonus card, the games that have been running have also featured 2-7 triple-draw which isn't a game seen at many Cash Game Festivals in the past.

Monika "HeyMonia" Zukowicz

In addition to the amazing poker action expected for today, PokerNews got wind of a prop bet that is likely to go down between Betsafe Ambassador Monika "HeyMonia" Zukowicz and Cash Game Festival co-founder Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk. While we won't release all the details until we are certain they are 100 percent finalized, what we can share is that HeyMonia will play von Zweigbergk and two other opponents on his team in best-of-three heads-up matches where the loser will need to do something that was predetermined and the winner not only collects money but can gloat as the "punishment" is being doled out.

It is only fitting that an interesting prop bet will go down either today or tomorrow for two reasons. First, it was here in Bulgaria in 2016 when Franke and Janar Kokk were involved in an epic prop bet that eventually went viral throughout Poland after Kokk lost and was exiled to a Polish town on the Ukrainian border. The other connection is that Zukowicz herself is Polish.

Players have reported how great it is to be Sunny Beach even when not in the casino. Those with the hospitality package were previously invited to enjoy welcome drinks, a trip to a winery, a go karting competition and a VIP dinner. Tonight at 11 p.m. local time, players will also be invited to celebrate each others company at a VIP party.

Other players have commented how perfect the weather has been with not a single cloud in the sky and how there is so much to do and enjoy outside the casino including relaxing at the beach and pools and visiting the numerous bars and cafes littering the boardwalk.

The PokerNews coverage for Day 4 will begin at approximately 5 p.m. local time or about an hour before the first of two feature tables kick off. Cash Game Festival host Brandon Allen will once again be the lead commentator and invite a variety of co-hosts to join him through the evening. The first table kicks off at 5:40 p.m. local time and will be streamed on a 20-minute delay with stakes at €1/€2 no-limit on the Cash Game Festival Twitch channel as well as will be broadcasted across multiple media outlets including PokerNews.
