Pavel Strikes Big on Day 2 of the 2017 Cash Game Festival Tallinn
Lithuania's Pavel was the star of the show on Day 2 of the 2017 Cash Game Festival Tallinn at Olympic Park Casino. He tallied up a profit of almost €2,800 on the late €5/€5 televised feature table. He shared also he played through the night last night and won a bit more than this on other tables before hopping on the feature table.
Pavel came to the Cash Game Festival about hearing about it through the grapevine. He tried to get some of his friends from Klaipeda to join him, but wanted to wait to hear about how the games were before making the trip up north to Estonia.
The action was fast and furious on the feature table with many four-digit pots going back and forth. Finland's Jussi Mattila lost the most on this table with the broadcast ending with his wallet almost €4,600 lighter. However, Mattila was down a bit more and won a couple of big pots near the end of the broadcast.
The game will likely continue throughout the night on a side table with most of the players unwilling to give up their seats.
Estonia's Andres Abakanov showed some hometown pride after he banked a profit of almost €1,200 in the early €1/€2 pot-limit Omaha feature table.
Today also marked the return of Sviten Special, otherwise known as drawmaha. The game has been present at every Cash Game Festival since its inception. Notable players on the table included Cash Game Festival regulars Niklas Blomqvist and Peter La Terra.
The day began for players who purchased the hospitality package or won a package to the poker festival with a trip to a gun range where both experienced and new shooters got to shoot rounds of a variety of weapons including AK-47s, shotguns and handguns.
Later in the day, players were invited to a VIP dinner at Mazza. Players returned to the casino bragging about the meal, the company and how fast the drinks were flowing.
Players won't have to travel too far for tomorrow's off the felt activity with a VIP party scheduled at the casino at 10 p.m.
