The first televised feature table of the day has just begun with stakes at €1/€2 no-limit hold'em. You can check out the coverage on the Cash Game Festival Twitch website and on PokerNews by clicking on the Live Stream tab in our coverage.

It is hard to say who is headlining the table as there are many Cash Game Festival "celebrities" at the table.

France's Tristan Chevalier, in Seat 2, is attempting to tie history. If he is the biggest winner at this feature table, it will make it three times during one festival which will tie him with Italy's Federico Drassich (CGF Slovenia - March 2017) and Norway's Knut Rysstad (CGF Gibraltar - May 2017).

In Seat 3 is Norwegian teacher Magnus Grötvik. This is his first televised feature table experience and is sporting a Guts.com patch at the table.

Finland's Tommi Verkasalo is also making his first televised feature table experience in Seat 4. Verksalo lives in Malta and has been playing poker for 11 years.

The newly dubbed "The French Hunter" aka Cash Game Festival's vlogger and French blogger Maxime Roseau is in Seat 5. Roseau tested his luck late last night on a low limit hold'em table and walked away with a few extra bucks in his wallet. The French Hunter also led the guided city tour of Mdina earlier in the day.

The man, the myth, and the legend Brandon Allen is in Seat 6. Allen is best known for hosting the Cash Game Festival commentary for the past eight festivals and is looking forward to see if he can win money in front of his Twitch fans.

Guts.com Head of Poker Eirik Thorvaldsen is in Seat 7. Thorvaldsen isn't going for a record like Chevalier but is attempting to be the biggest winner at the feature table for the second time in the festival after accomplishing that feat during the first feature table on Day 1.
