Day 2 of the Cash Game Festival Tallinn at Olympic Park Casino was a huge success.

The day began for those with the hospitality package started the day with a surprise after they were told to meet up for bowling and drinks in the early afternoon. The drinks part held true as the day for this group of players did start of in a pub. However, after instead of bowling it turned into poling as they were treated to a couple of hours at a pole dance training center to learn some moves and get some exercise.

The action at the tables was also steaming hot on the tables and the two feature tables were no exception.

The first table was a low-stakes €1/€1 affair featuring Estonian players belonging to a variety of poker clubs including Wismari, Cash Game Pokkeriklubi, and Nemesis poker clubs.

However, it was Cash Game Festival veteran Rikard Relander representing the Insomnia poker club that did the most damage on that table after booking a win of €756 or 756 big blinds.

The game at the feature table changed to €2/€2 pot-limit Omaha for the later game. Ukraine's Anton Dzehelali, who won a package at the last Cash Game Festival in Bratislava, wasn't initially in the line-up. But when his name came up on the waiting list he made the most of it and won the most money at that table with a profit of €359 or 179.5 big blinds.

Although Relander did land himself a big win he is not currently in contention for the feature table trophy awarded to the player that won the most big blinds at any of the 10 official televised feature tables. This honor currently belongs to Rain Jogioja.

Tomorrow is expected to be even bigger with crowds coming in for the weekend action. Stay tuned at PokerNews as we bring you all the highlights from the Cash Game Festival Tallinn.

Dzehelali Wins Big at the Feature Table

Ukraine's Anton Dzehelali didn't start off at the €2/€2 feature table but came onto the table as one of the waiting list players. He managed to make the most of his time as he booked a profit of €359 or 179.5 big blinds.

If you followed the Cash Game Festival during its last stop in Bratislava, Dzhelali's name should be familiar. He qualified to that festival through 32Red Poker and won big on more than one feature table.

Dzhelali wasn't the biggest winner of the day as that honor belonged to Rikard Relander who won €756 or 756 big blinds at the €1/€1 Estonian Poker Club no-limit hold'em feature table.

Both of these players aren't in contention for the Cash Game Festival Tallinn trophy. Rain Jogioja is still the man to beat after he booked a massive profit of €1,845 or 922.5 big blinds on yesterday's €2/€2 pot-limit Omaha feature table.

The first televised feature table of Day 2 has just kicked off with stakes at €2/€2 no-limit hold'em. The theme of the table is that every player is registered to a local Estonian poker club. The line-up looks like one of the more competitive ones. Here is a look:

Meelis Vist, in Seat 1, belongs to the Wismari poker club. Despite this being his first Cash Game Festival, Vist has eight years of poker experience. Also representing this club are Anto Variku (Seat 4) and Karev Tralla (Seat 5).

Tauri Taimre, in Seat 2, is a member of the newly founded Cash Game Pokkeriklubi. He has been to many Cash Game Festivals when they have visited the Estonian capital and considers himself a semi-pro with eight years of poker experience.

Villu Metsur, in Seat 3, is representing the Insomnia poker club. This is his second Cash Game Festival and shared he has more than a decade of poker experience. Cash Game Festival veteran Rikard Relander, who was also at the feature table last night, is also on the table in Seat 8.

Kaido Koorits, in Seat 6, belongs to the Nemesis poker club. He was one of the original players at a Cash Game Festival having attended one in 2014 in Tallinn before the tour went international.

Rounding off the table in Seat 7 is Jokker's Marko Keskel.

Welcome to Day 2 of the Cash Game Festival Tallinn at Olympic Park Casino.

Yesterday was an exciting start to the festival with many players coming from around Europe to the Estonian capital. The action in the casino is expected to pick up even more from yesterday's hot start as the weekend is approaching.

Players with the hospitality package, including those that came to the festival compliments of Cash Game Festival partners Unibet Poker, 32Red Poker, Olybet Poker, and betsafe Poker began the day with a unique bowling activity which we will cover later in the coverage.

As will be the case throughout the festival, two televised features will take place today hosted by Cash Game Festival Commentator Christin Maëmets. Guest hosts will pop into the booth throughout the day as well.

The first feature table will kick off at 6:30 p.m. EET with the stakes at €2/€2 no-limit hold'em featuring players from local Estonian poker clubs. The action will be on a 20-minute delay with hole cards exposed and can be viewed both within our coverage and at the Cash Game Festival Twitch channel.

The action changes three hours later at 9:30 p.m. EET to €2/€2 pot-limit Omaha.

Players at both feature tables have their eyes on booking at least 922.5 big blinds in profit, which was what Cash Game Festival veteran Rain Jogioja notched early yesterday when he booked €1,845 in profit at a €2/€2 pot-limit Omaha feature table.

The reason this is the target is that the player that wins the most big blinds during any of the 10 feature tables during the festival will win a Cash Game Festival trophy and a free €1,000 package to the next Cash Game Festival in the British capital of London on Jan. 30 to Feb. 3.

Our coverage will begin shortly before the first feature table kicks off. Stay tuned at PokerNews as we bring you the highlights of the Cash Game Festival Tallinn.
