Poker and Dog Races Headline Day 4 of the 2017 Cash Game Festival Dublin
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.

In the meantime, you can head to the Twitch channel to see some of the action from the previous three days.
Also on the schedule today is an evening at the dog races sponsored by betsafe at Shelbourne Park Dog Track at 6:00 p.m for players with the hospitality package. Cash Game Festival Project Manager Andro Loos promises plenty of Guinness and the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on hand to cover the event and share some of the live footage on Facebook Live.
Our live coverage will kick off at approximately 5:30 p.m. Stay tuned at PokerNews as we report the latest and greatest news from the 2017 Cash Game Festival Dublin.
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.

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."
Fagerstrom in the Booth
Kalle Fagerstrom was in Dublin for a day before flying out to Tallinn to join Cash Game Festival founder in the commentary booth.
Fagerstrom is a Cash Game Festival regular and will provide some insight into the action based off his experience.

Larry Ryan Wins Big
Larry Ryan won the most at the first €1/€2 no-limit hold'em feature table booking a healthy profit of €656 or 328 big blinds.
Dowling Headlining the Omaha Feature 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.

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.
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.
