Records Already Broken at the Cash Game Festival Bratislava with More to Come
Welcome to Day 3 of the Cash Game Festival Bratislava at Banco Casino Bratislava.
Yesterday was a huge day with multiple records broken for both the casino and the Cash Game Festival. A casino record was broken once there were nine cash game tables running at the same time with the previous recording being eight. The record was smashed again when the action peaked at ten tables.
Additionally, the casino held the most higher stakes games in its history with €10/€10 Omaha, €5/€5 Omaha, €2/€5 no-limit hold'em, and €1/€2 Sviten Special (also known as drawmaha) tables full of players.
The Sviten Special game might sound like a low stakes game, but do to the nature of it being half five-card draw and half Omaha, there are always huge pots in play.
There is little doubt among anyone that we will see this record broken multiple times more throughout the remainder of the festival including today on Day 3.
The other record was broken when Norway's Jon Kyte won €3,736 or 373.6 at the action-packed late €10/€10 pot-limit Omaha televised feature table. This marks the sixth time Kyte has been the biggest winner at a feature table breaking his own record of five-times.
As will be the case throughout the festival, the dynamic British duo of Henry Kilbane and George Sandford will once again host the two televised feature tables at 6 p.m. CEST and 9 p.m CEST broadcasted on a 20-minute delay at the Cash Game Festival Twitch channel. You can alternatively follow the action by clicking on the Live Stream tab that will be in our PokerNews coverage once the action is live.
The early table will feature a fun-filled €1/€2 game with three qualifiers from 32Red Poker, one of the partners of the Cash Game Festival Bratislava along with Betsson, NordicBet, and Unibet.
The action under the lights and camera were only one reason for the festival's early success. The casino has a relaxing lounge area where players that competed against each other have an opportunity to enjoy drinks and company.
In addition, the Cash Game Festival enhances the social atmosphere through its hospitality package. Today at 10 p.m. players with the package will enjoy a rocking VIP party.
The live reporting coverage will begin an hour before the first feature table kicks off at 5 p.m. CEST. Stayed tuned to PokerNews as we cover the festival from start to finish.
