Chris Yong Shines on Day 2 of the Cash Game Festival London
Day 2 of the Summer edition of the 2018 Cash Game Festival London at Aspers Casino continued to build off the momentum from the first day with nonstop ring game action running all day long.
There was plenty of action in both no-limit hold'em and pot-limit Omaha throughout the day and late into the night.
The feature tables were also full of action, co-hosted by PokerNews Editor Jason Glatzer alongside with Cash Game Festival's George Sandford and Henry Kilbane.
Ireland's Kevin Malone, who hoisted the Cash Game Festival trophy on home soil in Dublin in October, found early success after winning £511 (255.5 big blinds) for the biggest profit at the £2/£2 televised feature table.
However, the star of the show was Chris Yong at the later £5/£5 no-limit hold'em feature table after booking a healthy profit of £1,667 or 333.4 big blinds. It was a star-studded table feature many Aspers Casino and Cash Game Festival regulars including Jason Wong, Terry Jordan, Duncan Higgins, Jason Eyuh, Joe Robinson, Manoj Mohindra, Steven Game, and Finn Stewart.
While both Malone and Yong should be pleased with their sessions, they are not in the running at the moment for the Cash Game Festival London trophy awarded to the player that wins the most big blinds at any of the 10 main feature tables. That honor belongs to none other than Cash Game Festival Co-Founder Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk who yesterday won £1,500 at a £2/£2 pot-limit Omaha feature table or 750 big blinds.
