The first feature table has just kicked off with stakes at €1/€1 no-limit hold'em. What makes this television table special is not only will it be the first time Christin Maemets commentates at a Cash Game Festival but also that the table features bartenders from around Tallinn.

The line-up includes Tõnis Kirsipuu, Taavo Raag, Sergei Jarovenko, Risto Viljur, Viktor Golubjatnikov, Lenar Lehtla, Mairold Millert, and Oliver.

Welcome to Day 1 of the Cash Game Festival Tallinn, the final CGF of the year, at Olympic Park Casino, located minutes away from the Old Town of the Estonian capital Tallinn.

Many players are expected to be in attendance from all around Europe including dozens from Cash Game Festival partners 32Red Poker, Unibet Poker, betsafe Poker, and Olybet Poker.

Among the players coming from 32Red Poker include Edgars Armans, who has won the most packages in the history of the Cash Game Festival regulars Peter La Terra, Ryan "Metalface" Davey, Nicholas Blomqvist, and Mick Smith.

The festival will officially kick off at 6:00 p.m. EET with welcome drinks next to the televised feature table.

Shortly after at 6:30 p.m. EET the first televised feature table of the festival with stakes at €1/€1 no-limit hold'em will begin commentated by Christin Mäemets. This will be the first Cash Game Festival for Mäemets, who was a star during the pre-event stream last month.

The late feature table begins at 9:30 p.m. CEST with stakes at €2/€2 pot-limit Omaha featuring Cash Game Festival co-founder Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk.
