Dutch student and poker player Jeffrey Lanser is now attending his third Cash Game Festival. He learned about the festival by watching the stream and becoming a fan. He then watched the stream at several more festivals before deciding to see what it was all about it and attended his first Cash Game Festival in London in September.
Lanser followed this up with a journey to the Cash Game Festival in Tallinn in November before coming out to Bratislava for this event.
Yesterday, Lanser appeared at the feature table and then took it easy chatting with old and new friends. Today, it has been entirely railing and socializing for Lanser.
