Footballer Joel Lindpere and Finland's Lasse Kekoniemi Shine on Day 2 of the Cash Game Festival Tallinn
Day 2 of the 2017 Cash Game Festival Tallinn Fall Edition at Olympic Park Casino has built off the huge success from its first day with nonstop ring game action running all day long.
Players that won a Cash Game Festival Tallinn package or purchased the hospitality package were treated to an afternoon of painting. As a surprise to all the players, they were learning how to paint nude models.
The feature tables were full of action. Estonian footballer and Coolbet player Joel Lindpere surprised his fans by showing he can play poker in addition to the sport he is famous for after becoming the biggest winner at the first €2/€2 no-limit hold'em table with a profit of €424. He then decided to play the later €5/€5 pot-limit Omaha feature table despite admitting he hasn't played much of the four-card game. He booked a small profit in that game as well.
However, the star of the show was another player at the Omaha table in Finland's Lasse Kekoniemi. The relatively unknown player until today impressively booked a profit of €1,518 on a fairly tough feature table that also featured Cash Game Festival Dublin trophy winner Kevin Malone. However, according to what was witnessed throughout the evening, despite not being well-known it is very clear he is very experienced.
Despite Kekoniemi's big win, he is not in contention for the trophy. Right now, Heiti Riisberg holds a lead that is likely to hold throughout the festival after last night winning €3,364 or 1,682 big blinds on a wild and crazy €2/€2 no-limit hold'em table.
Players with the hospitality package are invited tomorrow for a VIP dinner at 7:30 p.m. EET. After dinner, Olympic Park Casino is expected to be packed with local recreational players who will be off work for the weekend.
