Day 3 of the 2017 Cash Game Festival Malta at Casino Malta by Olympic Casino has been a huge success. There has been a steady influx of tables throughout the day and night in a variety of games including no-limit hold'em and Sviten Special.

For many players, the highlight of the day was an epic VIP dinner at a private property where many exotic animals live including white lions. While the food was by far secondary, many players that attended raved about this as well.

Many fun players were on the two feature tables today including Cash Game Festival vlogger Maxime Roseau, who was born in France and at least for now calls the United Kingdom his home. Roseau is a poker enthusiast playing low-stakes online games when he finds the time and loves to get into an occasional live game when his budget allows him to.

Unfortunately for Roseau, today was not his day as he found himself low on chips. A few jams got through for him until he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar when he three-bet jammed preflop with pocket twos and wasn't able to pull a rabbit out of his hat after his opponent called and turned over pocket kings.

Tomorrow should be even more exciting. In the late evening (or early for some), the Cash Game Festival will be hosting a VIP party. Like the VIP dinner held earlier today, the location is being held tightly guarded and we might not know until the party is about to begin. However, all Cash Game Festival parties have been a huge hit in the past.

PokerNews coverage will resume again tomorrow on Day 4 to report all the poker action and the VIP party. A few player interviews are planned with some of the more colorful players at the festival to learn about their experiences during the first three days of the festival.
