Day: 3

Break in the Feature Table Action

The feature table has just moved to a side table. The next televised feature table will be broadcasted in about an hour.

Meanwhile, while our reporting team is in the poker room, we are receiving pictures and videos from some of the players via text message that is attending the VIP dinner. It appears just about any "wild" animal you can think of is in enclosures on the premises. We will share the official photos later in the coverage from the VIP dinner.

No Limit Hold'em Dominating the Action

Early in the evening, all of the tables are currently being played in no-limit hold'em. This will likely change soon as we learned that some of the players that enjoy other poker variants are on the way to the casino from the VIP dinner.

Lions!!

So the rumors of lions were true. Betsafe Ambassador Monika Zukowicz was one of the first people back in the casino after the VIP dinner.

It was held at a private "reservation" where there were lions, parrots and other exotic animals. Zukowicz also shared there was a nice collection of cars on hand as well.

Zukowicz said the experience was fantastic but is now happy to be back in the casino.

Veli-Matti Puumala's reaction was similar. In just one word he said that the experience was "amazing!" He then shared, "There were lions!" before adding that the people serving the dinner joked that if you didn't like the food you would be fed to the lions.

Meanwhile, a €2/€5 no-limit hold'em feature table is being set-up and should be ready to go live soon.

A couple of new tables just opened up, including a Sviten Special table. A small crowd is watching the game trying to learn the rules. Among the players at the table is Nordicbet Head of Poker Jostein Grødum and Finland's Veli-Matti Puumala, who just arrived today straight from Las Vegas.

Action Picking Up

The action is continuing to heat up at the Cash Game Festival Malta as the weather outside cools down for the evening. All of the action is low- and mid-stakes games including two €2/€5 no-limit hold'em tables.

Sin Menis Melin Joins the Booth

Sin Menis Melin was introduced to the Cash Game Festival when it came to Aspers Casino in London, her "home" casino in February. She enjoyed the experience and at the time promised to travel to another stop.

Melin held her promise and flew out to Malta on Tuesday night on the same flight as Cash Game Festival regular Jack Fenton.

Fans of Melin can now check her out in the commentary booth with Cash Game Festival Host Brandon Allen.

Head to the Cash Game Festival website or click the Live Stream tab in our PokerNews coverage to listen and be entertained by Melin co-announcing the €2/€5 no-limit hold'em table.
