Is playing six-deuce ever a good idea? Any two cards are usually OK for Cash Game Festival Co-founder Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk.
Franke somehow squeaks some value from six-two offsuit with a river bet. Check out the video below from yesterday to see typical Franke in action.
Norway's Knut Rysstad living in Spain near the Gibraltar border won almost £400 on the late stream and was the biggest winner. This was the second time this festival he was the biggest winner on the feature table. The record for the most times someone has been the biggest winner at a feature table was accomplished by Italy's Federico Drassich who was the biggest winner on three separate occasions during the Cash Game Festival Slovenia in March.
Rysstad shared that he was out until the sun was up last night. His energy level may have been affect, but he was still able to do damage on the felt.
Day 3 of the 2017 Cash Game Festival Gibraltar at Sunborn Casino was a monumental success. A new record at the casino was set with eight cash games running simultaneously. Last night the new record was established with seven tables.
The action began to pick up after the VIP dinner was over and a few dozen players filed into the ballroom where the poker festival is taking place.
It was also another big day for Norway's Knut Rysstad who for the second time during the festival was the biggest winner during a feature table booking a profit of nearly £400 in £1/£2 no-limit hold'em. There are still two days left for him to tie or beat the record of accomplishing this three times with Italy's Federico Drassich, who accomplished this feat during the 2017 Cash Game Festival Slovenia.
For the first time during the Cash Game Festival that we can remember, "ROE" or "round of each" was introduced where a round of pot-limit Omaha is followed by a round of no-limit hold'em. Other games that took place today included pot-limit Omaha, open-face Chinese poker and of course no-limit hold'em.
Tomorrow will be a huge day both on and off the felt. Earlier in the day, there will be a pool party on the seventh and top floor of the yacht where the casino and hotel are located. Later in the evening will be a high-energy VIP party.
