The action at the 2017 Cash Game Festival London is still heating up. However, If you were unable to make it out to Aspers Casino in east London, rest assured you do not have to wait long if you want to enjoy the next festival.
For the first time, the Cash Game Festival hits Slovenian soil at Casino Perla March 8 to 12 for another five days of nonstop cash game action. The festival will attract many players from around the globe, however, there will be many players from Italy in attendance due to the very close proximity to the country's border.
You can register in advance on the Cash Game Festival website to reserve your seat and to request to appear on the televised feature table.
While soon enough there will be £2/£5 tables and higher running, right now Aspers Casino is heavenly for lower stakes players.
There are now 12 full tables of £1/£1 and £1/£2 tables running. Most of the games are no-limit hold'em, however, there are a ton of chips being splashed around on a pot-limit Omaha table that includes Aspers Casino regular Sin Menis Melin.
It is the middle of Friday afternoon in London. Despite the evening being many hours away, there are already eight full cash tables running at Aspers Casino. Some of the tables are full of players still grinding from the night before, while other players went back home or their hotel to rest before hopping back to the casino to play.
