Battle of Previous Feature Table Winners Begins
The €5/€5 no-limit hold'em feature table has just kicked off. Cash Game Festival Commentator Andrew "Picasso" Hedley and special guest Ryan "Metalface" Davey are hosting a table full of familiar faces to anyone that follows the Cash Game Festival. You can check out the action on the Cash Game Festival Twitch channel or by clicking on the Live Stream tab in our coverage.
Joining the table late in Seat 1 will be an British player named Scott. Since he is arriving late we do not know very much about this player but we will try to see if we can find out a little bit about him before he hops into the action.
Finland's Lasse Kekoniemi, in Seat 2, was the big winner on a €5/€5 pot-limit Omaha table on Day 2. He is attempting to see whether he can be victorious again, this time with two cards instead of four.
Cash Game Festival Project Manager Andro Loos, in Seat 3, has appeared on many feature tables in the past. However, this is his first appearance in game higher than €2/€2. Loos is never afraid of the action and is almost always one of the stronger players on any table.
United Kingdom's Elizabeth Cape is back in action competing in Seat 4. PokerNews interviewed her and Monika "HeyMonia" Zukowicz on its Facebook page yesterday.
Unibet's Espen Uhlen Jørstad, in Seat 5, likely needs no introduction. He has appeared a few times at the feature table during this festival and the fact the cameras rolling should have no effect on his play as he is an avid Twitch streamer.
Nordicbet player Jon Kyte, in Seat 6, won the Cash Game Festival trophy in London and is hoping for a strong finish today. Kyte shared with PokerNews that he is afraid of no competition and a strong table gets his adrenaline running.
Ireland's Kevin Malone, in Seat 7, is the only other Cash Game Festival trophy winner after taking it down in Dublin. While both Malone and Kyte have been getting along very well away from the tables, their competitive nature takes over on the tables with both players admitting they fiercely want to outperform the other.
Rounding off the table is Sweden's Peter La Terra in Seat 8. La Terra is known for playing tons of Sviten Special, pot-limit Omaha and super dealer's choice and admitted he can't remember the last time he has played hold'em.
