Day: 2
Kevin Malone and Andy Black Win Big on Day 2 of the Cash Game Festival Dublin
Day 2 of the 2017 Cash Game Festival Dublin has built off the huge success from its first day with nonstop ring game action running all day long.
Players that won a Cash Game Festival Dublin package or purchased the hospitality package were treated to an afternoon of football golf at an aptly named venue called Footsie Golf.
Today was Omaha day on the feature table. The first televised feature table was a low-stakes €1/€2 PLO affair. Kevin Malone booked the biggest win at the table to walk away winning €1,100 or exactly 550 big blinds. Thus far in the festival, this is the most big blinds won by any player at a feature table to give him the lead in the Cash Game Festival contest for a trophy and a hospitality package for two.
Irish poker legend Andy Black was the biggest winner during the second feature table after stakes moved up to €2/€5 pot-limit Omaha after booking a profit of €1,553. The game continued after the stream ended.
Players with the hospitality package are invited tomorrow for a VIP dinner at 6:00 p.m. GMT. After dinner, the Village Green Card Club poker room is expected to be packed with local recreational players who will be off work for the weekend.
Stay tuned at PokerNews for the next three days as we report the hottest action during the 2017 Cash Game Festival Dublin.
