2017 Cash Game Festival Slovenia
Day: 3
Day 3 of the Cash Game Festival Slovenia is the Biggest Yet!
Day 3 of the Cash Game Festival Slovenia has thus far been the most successful of the festival with nine tables of games running simultaneously.
For the first time in a year, pineapple open-face Chinese poker made its return to the Cash Game Festival with festival regulars Elora Kask, her husband Janar Kokk and Daniel Näsman battling it out. Näsman easily won the match which was broadcasted live on Facebook Live on the PokerNews page.
In addition to the great poker, players enjoyed a VIP dinner at On'Italy. Players were coming back to the poker room with big smiles on their faces while giving the dinner and experience raving reviews.
Tomorrow is expected to be the biggest day thus far in the festival thanks to the momentum thus far in the festival and it being Saturday. Those with the hospitality package will not only have plenty of cash game poker options to choose from but also be treated to a VIP party late in the evening.
As will be the case every day during the festival, live streaming for tomorrow is scheduled at lower stakes at 5:40 p.m. CET and at higher stakes at 8:40 p.m. CET on a 20-minute delay. Brandon Allen will provide the lead commentary with guests popping in and out throughout the two broadcasts.
Stay tuned at PokerNews for the next three days as we report some of the hottest action at the Cash Game Festival Slovenia.

New Cash Game Festival Record for Slovenia!
There are now eight poker tables in action, which is a new record for the Cash Game Festival in the country of Slovenia. Festival organizers expect this figure to continue to grow.
Elora Kask Joins the OFC Action
While Daniel Näsman was explaining the rules to the first dealer of pineapple open-face Chinese poker, Janar Kokk's wife Elora Kask also decided to wet her feet and hop in the action.
Although this is her third Cash Game Festival after previously hitting two stops in Malta and Bulgaria last year, this is her first time on the poker felts. This doesn't mean she will be a fish, as she is well versed in the rules thanks to playing many home games.
Daniel Näsman and Janar Kokk Faceoff in Pineapple OFC
Daniel Näsman and Janar Kokk both returned to the poker room from dinner with another crew of players. Immediately the duo asked for a pineapple open-face Chinese poker table.
As is always the case at the Cash Game Festival, any game will go as long as there are players that want to play. With the OFC table there are now seven in action, which ties the most that were running at one time yesterday.
Bogdan Haidu, Elora Kask and Others Back From Dinner
Romania's Bogdan Haidu just waltzed into the poker room with a huge grin on his face. When asked how he was doing, he shared he was fantastic since he was just back from the VIP dinner at On'Italy. He shared that it was "really really great!"
Elora Kask, who was getting toasted with drinks left and right late last night despite not being in the poker room, came back moments later also smiling. "We had a local version of absynth, lots of free flowing wine, good fried cheese and of course great company," shared Kask.
