Mario's Back at the Feature Table
The €2/€5 no-limit hold'em feature table is about to begin and it should be action packed based on the line-up. You can watch action commentated by the British duo of Henry Kilbane and George Sandford on a 20-minute delay on the Live Stream tab in our coverage or by heading to the Cash Game Festival Twitch channel.
Austria's Mario Langer, who perhaps was the biggest action player at yesterday's feature tables, is back again in Seat 7 and full of smiles. PokerNews will be interviewing him live on Facebook either after his session today or later in the festival as he shared he will not be leaving for home until Monday.
Langer is a young gun at just 22 years of age, but don't let his age mean he isn't experienced. He has been playing since he was 18-years old and right away he appeared at the final table in his first-ever poker tournament.
Here is a look at the rest of the players kicking off the feature table.
United Kingdom's Colin Guthrie, in Seat 1 has been playing poker for five years. The 52-year old shared his best poker experience was winning $20,000 in a poker tournament on a cruise in the Bahamas. It wasn't just the money that made this experience memorable, but also the fact he knocked out 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Joe Cada from the event.
Poland's Arkadiusz Kolodziejczyk, in Seat 2, shared he has been playing poker for three years and considers himself to be a poker pro. The 25-year-old also appeared at a feature table yesterday and doesn't shy away from big action pots.
Austria's Alex Eder, in Seat 3, is a 24-year-old student. Like his countrymate Langer, Eder started playing poker at a young age of 18 years old. His shared his biggest poker achievement is simply being in love with the game and that eight-six suited is his favorite hand.
Ireland's Kevin Malone, in Seat 4, likely needs no introduction if you have been following the Cash Game Festival or are active in the Irish poker community. Malone got hooked on the festival when it visited Dublin in October and has since been to stops in Tallinn in November and in London in January. Malone, who we can now classify as a CGF regular, also plans to attend the Cash Game Festival in Tallinn at Olympic Park Casino on April 25-29.
Rounding off the table is Italy's Andrea Iengo in Seat 7. Iengo, who is 25 years of age, has been playing poker for three years and shared, "my favorite hand is jack-ten suited due to its playability."
