The Cash Game Festival Tallinn is about to begin at the Olympic Park Casino, for five days and more than 120 hours of nonstop cash game poker on April 25-29.

This marks the seventh time the festival is visiting the Estonian capital including the first three stops in 2013 and 2014 before the tour went international.

As is usually the case, each day during the festival two televised feature tables will take place at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. 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.

Henry Kilbane, who was a co-host at the last Cash Game Festival in Bratislava and two-time Cash Game Festival host Andrew "Picasso" Hedley will be teaming up for the first time to commentate all of the feature tables. Of course, guests will be popping in and out of the booth as well.

The player that wins the most big blinds at any of the 10 feature tables will win a commemorative trophy and a prize. Cash Game Festival co-founder Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk won the last trophy in Bratislava and has called out past winners and those that haven't won one yet to keep him from being the first player to claim the honor in two festivals.

Cash Game Festival regulars Niklas Blomqvist and Ryan Davey will be among the players at the early feature table with stakes at €2/€2 no-limit hold'em.

The stakes move up for the later table with two prior Cash Game Festival trophy winners in Jon Kyte and Kevin Malone battling it out. Also joining the action will be Unibet Poker Ambassador Espen Uhlen Jørstad.

In addition to the action on the felt, the Cash Game Festival facilitates a social atmosphere for its online qualifiers and those that won packages at past live Cash Game Festivals with its hospitality package. Players can also choose to purchase the package by enquiring with the Cash Game Festival staff.

This festival's activities will include welcome drinks, beach volleyball, a VIP dinner, a huge party, and a guided city tour with a twist.

Stayed tuned to PokerNews as we cover the festival from start to finish.
