John Garratt followed the Cash Game Festival on Twitter during the Cash Game Festival London in February and got curious what it was all about. Shortly afterward, he checked out the stream on Twitch and was hooked. He liked what he saw and eventually began chatting with Cash Game Festival commentator Brandon Allen under his handle 127gazza.

"It was something different I haven't seen before," said Garratt about why his interest peeked about the Cash Game Festival. "Obviously, the standard festival is tournaments. This is the only one I have seen that is only cash games and popped out as something different."

"I found out on the schedule that Gibraltar was coming up and asked Brandon if I could pop down and he invited me to join him on the stream," said Garratt.

Now that Garratt has seen things first hand, he likes what he has seen even more.

"I think it is a great idea," Garratt said about the Cash Game Festival. "It is kind of nice that you are guaranteed a seat when you show up. At some casinos, there might not be a table open or a seat free and wait a few hours. It is good to know you can register ahead of time and show up and be guaranteed a seat."

Garratt appeared on the televised feature table for the first time ever. He shared before the stream he was a little nervous, but after a few 'free' drinks his nervousness turned into aggression.

"It was a good laugh," said Garratt. "I was kind of worried that maybe the cameras would make the dynamic a little nervous for me. I enjoyed myself and kind of enjoyed the free beer for appearing on the table. I wish I won money instead of lost money. Perhaps I was a little too aggressive."
