The leaderboard is one of two that the Cash Game Festival and Sunborn Casino are hosting during the festival.

How it works is that players receive a 25 play chip every hour on the hour that can be used on play money roulette and blackjack tables located in between the poker tables and a bar. Players can combine chips with other players.

The top five players in chips during the two competitions (May 17 at 5 p.m. to May 19 at 4 a.m. and May 19 at 5 a.m. to May 22 at 4 a.m.) will walk away with prizes. The winner during each competition will be awarded a Cash Game Festival Malta package that includes free hotel, the hospitality package and €500 in cash to be used on the poker tables.

Currently, Cash Game Festival regular Peter La Terra has a commanding lead on the leaderboard. However, there is still plenty of time left.

La Terra collected a pile of chips to be used in the promotional games during a late night/early morning poker session. All the players on the table agreed for the dealer to deal one card to each player after the chips were awarded. The player with the highest card collected all the chips. La Terra defied the odds and won this competition four out of six times.

The Cash Game Festival Malta takes place from June 14-18 and you can get more information on the Cash Game Festival website.

The top five players during each of the two competitions receive the following prizes:

1. Cash Game Festival Malta package including hotel, hospitality package and €500 stake.
2. Cash Game Festival Malta TV table stake valued at €500.
3. Cash Game Festival Malta hospitality packages for two people valued at €400.
4. Cash Game Festival Malta TV table stake valued at €200.
5. Free beer, soda or juice at the Sunborn Casino Bar valued at €5.
