Jon Kyte Was the Star of the Show at the 2017 Cash Game Festival London
The 2017 Cash Game Festival London - Fall Edition at Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford City has been a huge success. During the festival's peak-time, 25 tables were running at the same time and across the festival there were dozens of hours with 20 or more tables.
Many different games were enjoyed through the festival including no-limit hold'em, dealer's choice pot-limit Omaha and Sviten Special.
The festival feature 10 televised feature tables or two per day. Norways's Jon Kyte was the 2017 Cash Game Festival London's most consistent winner at the feature tables by being the big winner on two separate occasions.
In addition, Kyte shipped the first-ever Cash Game Festival trophy for winning the most big blinds during a feature table session. In addition, he won two hospitality packages valued at €400 to the Cash Game Festival Dublin on Oct. 11-15 at Village Green Card Club.
Kyte's run began when he was the biggest winner at the Day 3 £5/£10 no-limit hold'em feature table after booking a profit of £2,200. This represented 220 big blinds which at the time was far behind the lead.
The Norweigan didn't stop there. He won the most on the £2/£5 no-limit hold'em feature table on Day 4 for £4,265 representing 853 big blinds which were good enough for the lead.
Despite a late run on Day 5 by Cash Game Festival's Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk, Kyte's big win was able to hold on. Here is a look at all of the big winners at the 10 feature tables during the 2017 Cash Game Festival London - Fall Edition at Aspers Casino.

Of course, the Cash Game Festival is mostly about poker. However, every festival also features great activities away from the tables where players can bond. New friends were made while old friends from previous festivals got a chance to catch up. During the 2017 Cash Game Festival London, players with the hospitality package enjoyed welcome drinks, simulated golf, a VIP dinner, a beer-pong party and a guided city tour.
