Day 3 of the 2017 Cash Game Festival London has been a huge success as it set a new 2017 record for the number of ring-game tables running simultaneously with 23 tables running at peak times. The overall Cash Game Festival record was also in London in 2016, when 28 tables were running at the same time.
Cash Game Festival regular Jack Fenton was the star of Day 3 winning the most money on the televised feature tables with around £1,200 profit in £2/£5 no-limit hold'em. Those watching the commentary not only got to hear the usual host Brandon Allen, but also local 888poker Ambassador Sin Menis Melin join him. PokerNews will be sharing some thoughts about the Cash Game Festival from Melin during tomorrow's coverage.
The day's off the felt activity sent players off to Jamie's Italian for a VIP dinner. Players returned from the dinner after more than two hours of being wined and dined with big smiles on their faces.
Tomorrow night players with the hospitality can take a break from the felts to enjoy some beer pong on the house.

Many players are already grinding at the poker tables while others while are enjoying London before heading playing later in the day and evening.
