Following eight successful stops this year, the Cash Game Festival is about to kick off its ninth and last stop of 2017 at Olympic Park Casino in Tallinn, Estonia for five days of nonstop cash game poker on Nov. 15-19.

Tallinn holds a special place in Cash Game Festival history as it is where the festival planted its roots with its first three Cash Game Festivals in history taking place in the Estonian capital in 2014 and 2015 before transforming into an international tour at the beginning of 2016.

The festival expects a full house with players confirmed from at least 19 different countries and the casino has set-up more poker tables than normal to satiate the huge demand.

Scotland's Andrew "Picasso" Hedley, who made his debut around this time last year when the Cash Game Festival was also in Scotland is back for the second time as both a player and the lead commentator. Picasso has had a tremendous year both in cash games and tournaments and will provide unique strategic insight into the two televised feature tables taking place every day during the festival at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. EET. at the Cash Game Festival Twitch channel. PokerNews will also embed the stream in our coverage.

For the third consecutive time, the Cash Game Festival will be hosting a feature table contest where the player that wins the most big blinds will be awarded a commemorative trophy along with a hospitality package for two to the next Cash Game Festival valued at €400. To add to the intrigue, the last two winners in Norway's Jon Kite and Ireland's Kevin Malone will be in attendance to see if they can be the first two-time winner of the trophy.

Additionally, many of the festival's regulars are either in town or on their way since this is the last festival of the year including Peter La Terra, Ryan "Metalface" Davey and Jens "Dansken" Riis.

As is always the case, the Cash Game Festival organizers are planning a range of activities including welcome drinks, a sporting activity, a guided tour, a world-class dinner and a VIP party.

Our coverage will begin once the Cash Game Festival Tallinn officially kicks off at 5 p.m. EET with welcome drinks inside the poker room.

Stay tuned as the PokerNews Live Reporting team will be covering the festival with player interviews and recaps each day during the festival.
