For the second time in Cash Game Festival history, the tour is awarding a trophy to the player that wins the most big blinds during any of the 10 feature table sessions.

Currently, local Irish poker player Kevin Malone is in the lead after winning €1,100 or 550 big blinds during a €1/€2 pot-limit Omaha feature table match on Day 2.

Malone will be back for the final televised feature table at 9 p.m. The game has been switched from €1/€2 no-limit hold'em to €1/€2 pot-limit Omaha.

As of right now, Malone is the heavy favorite to win and he will be doing his best to make sure nobody catches up while he is on the table. He shared he might have to alter his play.

"It will be nice to play the final session and have a chance to defend my lead if someone gets close to me," said Malone. If someone is close, I might have to do some extra gambling!"
