Monika Zukowicz "Would Love to Go to Malta" For the Next Cash Game Festival

We said goodbye this morning to Betsafe Ambassador Monika Zukowicz, who headed back to her home country of Poland after spending four fun days at the 2017 Cash Game Festival Gibraltar.

Earlier in the festival, Zukowicz sat down with PokerNews so we could learn a bit more about the young lady behind the infectious smile she always has and her thoughts about her first experience at a Cash Game Festival.

You can read part one of our interview with Zukowicz here.

Zukowicz fell instantly in love with the Cash Game Festival due to the flexibility the festival provides when compared to traditional poker tournament festivals she has been to in the past.

"In the morning we still have time for sightseeing and touristic stuff," explained when asked what were some of the things she liked about the Cash Game Festival versus tournament festivals. "The festival allows for the perfect day schedule away from the casino."

The 2017 Cash Game Festival Gibraltar featured many activities away from the tables. But on the tables, players could either play games they already know and love or learn new ones. Zukowicz decided after seeing players having a great time playing Sviten Special to dive into the game even though she never heard of it in the past.

"I wasn't even familiar with the name of this game," Zukowicz said about Sviten Special. "I was thinking it was called Sweden Special. I never heard about this game before, but I am going to tell stories about this game because it was crazy. I really like to test new types of games. I really like Razz and crazy games that are not popular in Europe. When I was in Las Vegas last summer I was shocked that people weren't playing no-limit hold'em that much. When they are playing a side game they are more into mixed games and a different type of poker. Where here in Europe, it is all about no-limit hold'em and pot-limit Omaha and that's it. That is why I was so excited to learn about the game."

Zukowicz hopes that her trip to Gibraltar will be the first of many trips to Cash Game Festivals. She already has her eyes set on the next Cash Game Festival in Malta on June 14-18 after just being there for the MPN Poker Tour at the end of April. You can read more about this festival on the Cash Game Festival website.

"I would love to go to Malta," said Zukowicz. "As I said before, I really like the format of the Cash Game Festival. Going into playing, going back to the hotel and playing again is something most people do at tournament festivals. Especially as I just have been to Malta recently for a tournament festival where we had a catamaran trip and the festival organizers did their best to make this event really good. However, almost nobody attended since the day of tournaments ends pretty late and nobody was able to wake up in the morning and enjoy the trip."

On a different subject, Zukowicz poker dreams came true last summer when she was invited by Betsafe to attend to the 2016 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. She has her fingers crossed she will be able to revisit Sin City sometime soon.

"Going to Las Vegas last summer was my poker dream adventure. It was my first cooperation with Betsafe and they sent me to Las Vegas," said Zukowicz. "I made some blogs and did some live coverage for the Polish poker audience about how Polish poker players were doing."

I had media access to the WSOP. I was allowed to join the huge studio that people were sitting in for entire days, It was awesome and I had a great time.

What was even more awesome is I got to make interviews with many huge names in poker including Daniel Negreanu, Jason Somerville, Faraz Jaka, Joe Stapleton and Andre Aakari. I was super shocked. It was the first time I got to see these people that I see on TV. So that was a great experience. So, I hope one day I can go back to Las Vegas.
