Day 3 of the 2018 Cash Game Festival Bulgaria at Platinum Casino in Sunny Beach, Bulgaria was a resounding success.

It was a packed house with all 15 tables in action. Players enjoyed a variety of games including no-limit hold'em, pot-limit Omaha, Sviten Special, and open face Chinese poker.

The weather was perfect during the daytime with many players choosing to enjoy the beach and other outdoor activities. This didn't stop some from playing early sessions at the casino as well.

As has been the case throughout the festival, Day 3 featured two feature tables at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. commentated by Cash Game Festival Head of Media Henry Kilbane and PokerNews Editor Jason Glatzer.

32Red Poker qualifier Yohannes McAllistair was the hero at the first feature table with stakes at €1/€3 no-limit hold'em after booking a profit of €423 or 141 big blinds.

After a small break, the stakes moved up and the game changed to €5/€5 pot-limit Omaha at the feature table. Youness Barakat was going for his fourth feature table win while former Cash Game Festival trophy winners Jon Kyte and Kevin Malone were also battling it out.

However, it wasn't any of the trio that was the big winner at the late table. Instead, that honor belonged to Bulgaria's Kamen Marlinov that won the most after booking a profit of €1,167 (233.2 big blinds).

At the same time the second feature table began, those with the hospitality package were treated to a VIP dinner in Nesebar. Among the players attending were Unibet Poker qualifers, 32Red Poker qualifiers, and qualifiers that won promotions at previous Cash Game Festivals including Estonia's Carmen-Elina Vist.

It was very nice." Vist said about the dinner. "They had a very big grill and the environment was amazing. The drinks were flowing and everyone had a good time."

There are still two more days of action with plenty planned on an away from the tables. Cash Game Festival organizers planned a sporting activity during the day and a VIP party at night.

Stay tuned at PokerNews as we bring you the highlights of the remainder of the Cash Game Festival.

Barakat and Kyte Both Shooting for Records on Day 3 of the Cash Game Festival Bulgaria

Jaxon

Welcome to Day 3 of the 2018 Cash Game Festival Bulgaria at Platinum Casino, located steps away from the Black Sea in the aptly named Sunny Beach.

The first two days of the festival provided tons of excitement both on and away from the tables. There were 14 tables of players battling it out and having fun all night long with many players still playing after the sun came up.

A packed house is expected again on Day 3. Players have no reason to be worried about if they will get a seat at a table as the casino promised to replace gaming tables with poker tables as needed.

As will be the case throughout the festival, Cash Game Festival's Henry Kilbane and PokerNews' Jason Glatzer will be hosting the commentary of two televised feature tables at 7 p.m. EEST and 10 p.m. EEST at the Cash Game Festival Twitch channel and embedded in our coverage as well.

Unibet Poker player and Cash Game Festival regular Kalle Fagerstrom will be in the line-up for the early €1/€3 no-limit hold'em feature table.

The stakes then move up and the game changes to €5/€5 pot-limit Omaha at the later feature table. Two-time Cash Game Festival trophy winner and 32Red Poker qualifier Jon Kyte will be attempting to set a record for the most Cash Game Festival trophies won in what promises to be an exciting table.

Meanwhile, Youness Barakat already set a Cash Game Festival record by winning three of the first four feature tables. He will be back in action against Kyte and others in hopes of winning a fourth table.

The feature tables aren't the only action as players can enjoy any game they think of. Last night's action featured no-limit hold'em, pot-limit Omaha, and a Sviten Special table that didn't close until after 7 a.m.

Players with the hospitality package are also in for a treat tonight as the Cash Game Festival crew is hosting a VIP dinner in Nesebar at 10 p.m.
