Dirty Dozen
There are now a dozen tables in play with most of the action currently in no-limit hold'em. Ryan Mullarkey, who loves action in any game, is one of the players currently at the €1/€2 pot-limit Omaha. He will move up stakes to €2/€5 for the second feature table which will begin in about 30 minutes on a 20-minute delay.

Many players that have been to previous festivals just arrived today with many more planning to join the fun tomorrow.
Some of the new players that made their first 2018 Cash Game Festival London appearance included Janar Kokk, his wife Elora Kask, Michael Fletcher, Corey Slack, habitual NordicBet qualifier Dusan Hajek and Cash Game Festival Dublin trophy winner Kevin Malone.

Simon Moeckli Joins the Feature Table
The player scheduled to appear in Seat 8 was running late before he canceled his appearance. Switzerland's Simon Moeckli, who has been playing poker for six years, was the first alternate on the list and now gets the chance to appear on a televised feature table for the first time.
Fun £1/£2 Feature Table Begins
The first feature table of the day just began with stakes at £1/£2 no-limit hold'em. The table features a mix of Cash Game Festival veterans and new players alike.
Once again, Ryan "Metalface" Davey will be handling the play by play with guest commentators popping in and out of the booth. You can check out the action by clicking on the Live Stream tab in our coverage or by heading to the Cash Game Festival Twitch channel where you can also join in the chat
Dusan Hajek, in Seat 1, has been to many Cash Game Festival and qualified to this one at Betsson. He has been playing poker for a decade and shared his biggest poker achievement is to never bust his bankroll.
Ed Furniss, in Seat 2, has also attended many Cash Game Festivals in the past with London being his fourth in a row. Furniss has been the biggest winner at the feature table in the past and shared his favorite hand is pocket eights unless there is a bounty for seven-two.
NordicBet qualifier Jakub Stozek, in Seat 3, is making his first Cash Game Festival and shared that his best poker experience was playing in the Swedish Championship in Tallinn. He is also a fan of seven-two offsuit regardless of whether there is a bounty involved or not.
France's Romain Holmes, in Seat 4, describes himself as a poker pro. His favorite hand is jack-ten suited and away from the tables can often be found enjoying a chess match.
Latvia's Edgars, in Seat 5, has a decade of poker experience and is attending his first Cash Game Festival thanks to winning a package at 32Red. This is his first televised poker experience and shared his favorite hand is any hand that wins.
England's Scott Andrews, in Seat 6, has also attended a handful of festivals in the past. While hold'em might be his bread and butter game, he loves the action in other games including Sviten Special which he was playing last night.
Lithuanian bartender Modestas Vasiukas, in Seat 7, has been playing poker for seven years. He shared he has no big achievements and started out playing with friends in home games seven years ago.
Players Back from Jumping Around
Players are now back from the outing at the trampoline park. There are already eight tables in action with a few more about to begin.
Here is a look at some of the action away from the felt from earlier today that was streamed live on Facebook.
Jump Into the Excitement With Trampolines and Poker on Day 2 of the Cash Game Festival London
Welcome to Day 2 of the 2018 Cash Game Festival London at Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford City.
With five tables already running in the early afternoon including two still running from the night before, it is difficult to distinguish where the first day ended and the second day began.
Today is expected to be a huge day both on and away from the felts. While many players are already enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of the British capital, the Cash Game Festival organizers have arranged for those with the hospitality package a trip to a trampoline park for some friendly competitions and fun.
As will be the case throughout the festival, England's Ryan "Metalface" Davey will host two televised feature tables. The first table kicks off at 6 p.m. GMT featuring Cash Game Festival regulars Ed Furniss and Oli Bass with stakes at £1/£2 no-limit hold'em . You can check out the action at the Cash Game Festival Twitch channel. The match will also be embedded in our coverage under the Live Stream tab.
After a short break, the game will change to £2/£5 pot-limit Omaha. Jon Kyte and Kevin Malone, the two players that won the first two ever Cash Game Festival trophies for winning the most big blinds on a t.v. table during a festival, will be facing off along with many other exciting players.
However, for either player to become the first to win a second trophy is going to take some work. Yesterday, Sam Miller won £5,775 or 1,155 big blinds on a £2/£5 pot-limit Omaha feature table. This was thanks to him winning a big hand against Kyte where Miller jammed with draws and Kyte made the correct hero called only to get sucked out on.
The PokerNews Live Reporting is on hand to report on all the excitement, complete with player interviews and recaps, during the festival including today. Stay tuned as today's coverage will begin around just before the first feature table begins.
