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.
Ryan Mullarkey
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 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.
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.
Among the players on the table is the charismatic Chris Dowling.

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.

Welcome to PokerNews' live coverage of Day 4 of the 2017 Cash Game Festival Dublin at the Village Green Card Club.
Yesterday, the action ran all night long including a €5/€10 no-limit hold'em table that ran until the sun came up as well as a late-night €1/€2 Sviten Special table.
A €1/€2 no-limit hold'em table converted into a €1/€2 round-of-each NLHE/PLO table and is still running from the night before. One of the players at this table yet to leave the card room from yesterday evening is Kevin Malone who was playing on the higher stakes feature table.
The early feature table will kick off at 6 p.m. BST with action at €1/€2 no-limit hold'em before it picks up to €2/€5 no-limit hold'em at 9 p.m. Patrick Clarke, who won the 2014 Irish Open Main Event for €200,000 is among the line-up expected to appear at the later table.
