Welcome to Day 1 of the 2017 Cash Game Festival Slovenia at Perla Casino
The Cash Game Festival is about to begin its second stop of 2017 at Casino Perla in Nova Gorica, Slovenia, for five days of nonstop cash game poker on March 8 to 12.
The festival expects to attract many players from Italy due to the casino's proximity to the Italian border. Although this marks the festival's first stop in the region, the structure of the festival will be similar to that of other Cash Game Festivals with nonstop cash games across a variety of limits and poker variants.
Each day, Brandon Allen will host the two televised feature tables and players will also have plenty of opportunities to enjoy themselves away from the poker felt with plenty of fun activities planned by the festival organizers. Early today, many players have been witnessed around the town enjoying the almost perfect weather and shared they are looking forward to shuffling chips on the tables.
The Cash Game Festival Slovenia officially kicks off at 5 p.m. CET with welcome drinks inside the poker room. Shortly afterward, the first of two daily televised tables start at 5:40 p.m. CET and will be streamed on a 20-minute delay with stakes at €2/€2 pot-limit Omaha on the Cash Game Festival Twitch channel as well as will be broadcasted across multiple media outlets including PokerNews.
Later in the day, there will also be a second higher stakes televised feature table of no-limit hold'em with stakes at €2/€5 broadcasted on a 20-minute delay at 8:40 p.m. CET.
Other activities away from the tables include a side trip to Soca Fun Park on Thursday, a luxurious dinner at Restaurant Pikol on Friday, a VIP party at Pulse Arena on Saturday and a visit to the caves in the region on Sunday.
The PokerNews Live Reporting team will be covering the festival with player interviews and recaps of some of the most exciting action.
