Day: 4
Emmett Hegarty & Larry Ryan Win Big on Day 4 of the Cash Game Festival Dublin
The first four days of the 2017 Cash Game Festival Dublin at the Village Green Card Club are now in the books with one more action-packed day remaining tomorrow.
On previous days the feature tables have either been all pot-limit Omaha or no-limit hold'em. However, today was a mix of the two.
Larry Ryan was the star at the first €1/€2 no-limit hold'em feature table after he booked a healthy profit of €656 or 328 big blinds. However, Emmett Hegarty was an even bigger star at the €2/€5 pot-limit Omaha feature table after walking away with €2,000 more than he started with or a 400 big blind profit.
Both players fell short of being 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 be awarded to the winner.
Ireland's Kevin Malone currently has a firm hold on the lead after Day 3 in the feature table contest with his €1,100 win, exactly 550 big blinds, at a €1/€2 pot-limit Omaha feature table on Day 2.
Players that won a Cash Game Festival Dublin package or purchased the hospitality package enjoyed an evening at the greyhound races before they headed back to the casino. Ryan Mullarkey was among the big winners Tomorrow, players will go on a guided tour.
Stay tuned at PokerNews as we report the final day of the 2017 Cash Game Festival Dublin.

Emmett Hegarty Wins €2K
Emmett Hegarty was the biggest winner at the late €2/€5 pot-limit Omaha table after booking a profit of €2,000 or 400 big blinds. Although he will walk away with his wallet a bit fuller, this doesn't put him in the lead for the trophy which will be awarded to the player that wins the most big blinds this festival at a feature table. That honor currently belongs to Kevin Malone, who earlier in the festival won €1,100 or 550 big blinds on a €1/€2 pot-limit Omaha table.
Chris Dowling & Ross Cullen Wins Spins at the Wheel of Fortune
Chris Dowling and Ross Cullen are battling it out four-handed on the €2/€5 pot-limit Omaha televised feature table. Amazingly, both players randomly won a spin at the Wheel of Fortune.
They can win as much as €250 on the spin and will also be entered into a drawing where they can win a Cash Game Festival Tallinn package valued at €1,650 at Olympic Park Casino on Nov. 15-19.

The €2/€5 pot-limit Omaha table has just begun. Cash Game Festival Co-Founder Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk and Kalle Fagerstrom will provide play-by-play of the action.

HeyMonia Fired Up for the Dog Races
Players with the hospitality package are off to the dog races at Shelbourne Park Dog Track. The event is sponsored by betsafe.
Cash Game Festival Project Manager Andro Loos got everyone fired up on the bus to have fun and try to make some money.
Betsafe Ambassador Monika "HeyMonia" Zukowicz is among the players that has been looking forward to the races for days. She shared that she skipped the VIP dinner yesterday to instead play cash games just so she could head to the races.
Zukowicz enjoyed her first Guinness yesterday and loved it so much she woke up early today for a tour of the Guinness factory.
Today is another first as she never went to the dog races before.
"I am super excited since I love dogs," said Zukowicz. "I also love doing things for the first time and experiencing something new."
Sascha Koal is Back
Sascha Koal has made a name for himself during his first-ever Cash Game Festival at Village Green Card Club in Dublin.
He learned about the festival by watching others play at the televised feature table and has become a hero on one himself after showing his heart and his willingness to gamble.
Koal was playing until the early hours of the morning before taking a break and is now back at the €1/€2 no-limit hold'em feature table. He will also be playing at the €2/€5 feature table as well.
We earlier reported that Patrick Clarke was scheduled to play at the later feature table. He just called in to cancel and we will have the line-up later in the coverage.
In addition, some of the remaining players scheduled to play asked if the game could be changed to pot-limit Omaha. The Cash Game Festival is always accommodating, so instead of two cards, players will receive four in the later game.
