The 2018 Cash Game Festival London at Aspers Casino keeps growing bigger and bigger with Day 3 building off the huge success from its first two days with nonstop ring game action running all day long. The action peaked at 24 tables with many of them expected to run through the night and into the morning.
In addition to the huge amount of action in the poker room, the feature tables were even more special than normal. The first feature table featured Cash Game Festival Commentator Ryan "Metalface" Davey with PokerNews Editor Jason Glatzer and freelance reporter William Powell announcing the action.
Davey proved to his fans that he can win at the table, however, Alasdair Alexander was the star of the show after winning £463 or 231.5 big blinds in the £1/£2 no-limit holdém match.
At the same time as the first feature table was taking place, many of the players with the hospitality package headed to a VIP dinner while many others packed the poker room.
Shortly after, the second feature table began with stakes at €5/€10 no-limit hold'em. Once again the table was full of experienced players displaying impressive poker action. David Clarkson, who a year ago was the big winner at two feature tables grinded his way to a big win after joining the table late with a profit of £2,655 or 265.5 big blinds.
Despite Alexander and Clarkson both winning big, neither player is in contention for the Cash Game Festival feature table trophy that gets awarded to the player that wins the most big blinds at any of the 10 feature tables during the festival. Right now, Sam Miller is in the lead after winning £5,775 or 1,155 big blinds on a £2/£5 pot-limit Omaha feature table.
Players with the hospitality package are invited tomorrow for a VIP party, while many others instead will rock and roll at the poker tables in the casino.
Stay tuned at PokerNews for the next two days as we report the hottest action during the 2017 Cash Game Festival London.

Clarkson was the biggest winner on two separate feature tables during the Cash Game Festival London in February 2017 and did it again today after winning £2,655 or 265.5 big blinds on the £5/£10 no-limit hold'em feature table.

Welcome to Day 3 of the 2018 Cash Game Festival London at Aspers Casino. The action yesterday throughout the day and evening was huge with 15 tables running at peak times and many of them running until the sun came up including a huge £5/£10 no-limit hold'em game featuring Cash Game Festival Dublin trophy winner Kevin Malone and a super dealer's choice table that included some games including 15-card Sviten Special.
Yesterday, players that secured a Cash Game Festival London package through an online promotion or purchased the hospitality package were out exercising at a trampoline park. Today players with the hospitality package will be treated to a VIP dinner at the highly-rated Brazilian restaurant Cabana.
The feature tables yesterday were full of excitement, especially the late £2/£5 pot-limit Omaha. At this table, Jon Kyte, who won the first-ever Cash Game Festival trophy during the tour's last visit to London, outperformed a star-studded crew of players to win £4,260 or 852 big blinds. This is still well behind Sam Miller who is currently in the lead for the trophy after booking a profit of £5,775 or 1,155 big blinds on the Day 1 £2/£5 pot-limit Omaha feature table.
