Day 3 of the 2017 Cash Game Festival Dublin at the Village Green Card Club has built off the success from the first two days.
Today's feature tables were action-packed with well-known players at both. The first televised feature table was a low-stakes €1/€2 NLHE affair. Gareth McMahon booked the biggest win after booking a profit of €380 or 190 big blinds.
Later in the day, Jason Tompkins won big at the €5/€10 feature table after booking a profit of €1,600 or 160 big blinds. However, Tompkins' win wasn't big enough to put him in the lead in the Cash Game Festival feature table contest where a trophy and a hospitality package for two to the Cash Game Festival Tallinn on Nov. 15-19 at Olympic Park Casino will go to the winner.
Kevin Malone holds the honor of still being in the lead after Day 3 in the feature table contest with his €1,100 win, exactly 550 big blinds, at a €1/€2 no-limit hold'em feature table on Day 2.
Players that won a Cash Game Festival Dublin package or purchased the hospitality package enjoyed a world-class dinner at An Poitin Still. Tomorrow, players with the package will enjoy a night at the dog track.
