Day: 5
Welcome to the Final Day of the 2018 Cash Game Festival Tallinn
Welcome to the final day of the Cash Game Festival Tallinn at Olympic Park Casino.
Today began with players that were recovered enough from last night's VIP party at VaBank and late action play at the tables with a guided city tour of the Estonian capital. The tour wrapped up with sushi and shisha at Katusekohvik.
Today's action is expected to be big, especially on the two televised feature tables commentated by Andrew Hedley and Henry Kilbane. The reason expectations are big is that Peter La Terra set the bar high by winning 998 big blinds or €1,996 at a €2/€2 no-limit hold'em table.
The player with the most big blinds won at any of the ten feature tables during the festival will win a commemorative trophy as well as a Cash Game Festival Bulgaria package sponsored by 32Red at Platinum Casino in Sunny Beach on Aug. 8-12 valued at €1,500.
The early feature table will be a €2/€2 no-limit hold'em affair feature Cash Game Festival regular Ed Furniss. The British poker player came out with a bunch of his friends and has been enjoying the town as well as playing tons of poker since he arrived.
For the first time in Cash Game Festival history, the game will change at the second feature table to €2/€2 pot-limit Omaha eight or better. Two former CGF trophy winners in Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk and Jon Kyte will be battling it out and are both hungry to be the first to claim the trophy during two separate Cash Game Festivals.
You can watch both feature table starting at 6 p.m. EEST on a 20-minute delay at the Cash Game Festival Twitch channel. You can alternatively follow the action by clicking on the Live Stream tab that will be in our PokerNews coverage once the action is live.
