2018 Cash Game Festival Tallinn
Day: 3
It Was the Peter La Terra Show on Day 3 of the Cash Game Festival Tallinn
Day 3 of the Cash Game Festival Tallinn at Olympic Park Casino has been action-packed both on and away from the tables.
With no break in the action from the previous day, it was hard to tell when Day 2 ended and Day 3 began.
As is the case at every Cash Game Festival, there were two feature tables today.
The first one was a €2/€2 pot-limit Omaha affair with two former Cash Game Festival trophy winners in Kevin Malone (Dublin - October) and Jon Kyte (London - September) battling it out in hopes to be in good position for a second one. The trophy is awarded to the player that wins the most big blinds out of any of the ten feature tables.
The man to beat heading into the day was Rikard Relander who on Day 2 won €1,508 or 754 big blinds on a €2/€2 no-limit hold'em feature table.
Relander is off the top of the leaderboard but it was neither Malone or Kyte to knock him off his perch. Instead, it was Cash Game Festival veteran Peter La Terra who managed to win a huge profit of €1,996 or 998 big blinds.
The action for the later stream changed to €2/€2 no-limit hold'em. Henry Kilbane, who has been commentating the entire festival with Andrew "Picasso" Hedley, took a break from the booth to join the action.
Kilbane's fans were pleased and his chat trolls were silenced after he booked the biggest win on that table with a tidy profit of €166 or 83 big blinds.
During the end of the first feature table leading into the second one, players with the hospitality package left the casino to enjoy some fine dining and drinks on the house.
Tomorrow is expected to be the biggest day of the festival both on and away from the felts. Many players are still coming in from neighboring countries while many local recreational players will also join the fray.
Meanwhile, the VIP party is scheduled for tomorrow night at 11 p.m. at VaBank. Based on prior experiences, the party in Tallinn is like none other.

Henry Kilbane Shows How it is Done
Cash Game Festival Commentator Henry Kilbane left the commentating booth to show his fans he knew how to get the job done at the poker felts at the feature table.
He put his money when his mouth was and was the biggest winner at the late feature table booking a profit of €166 or 83 big blinds in €2/€2 no-limit hold'em.
Stay tuned to for the recap of Day 3 of the Cash Game Festival Tallinn.

Maxime in the Booth
With Henry Kilbane out of the booth and playing, Cash Game Festival's Maxime Roseau is making a rare appearance in the booth. We will find out later from him how his experience commentating the action with Andrew "Picasso" Hedley was.
Kilbane Out of the Booth and at the Feature Table
After playing some hands, it was agreed to change the stakes to €2/€2 no-limit hold'em. Coming out of the commentary booth and joining the fun is none other than United Kingdom's Henry Kilbane.
Nine High Like a Boss
While William Kassouf isn't in London and this hand didn't involve a bluff, check out below of how it is possible for nine-high to win at showdown in a hand at the feature table yesterday.
Karol Masarovic is Back!
Karol Masarovic made his Cash Game Festival debut in his hometown of Bratislava at Banco Casino earlier in the month. His friend Alan Sabo won a full package for this event and Masarovic decided to also come.
Masarovic already appeared at one feature table this festival and will have another chance to win big under the lights and cameras in a short-handed €5/€10 no-limit hold'em game.
United Kingdom's Eddie Anderson, who was also at the feature table, will join Masarovic as will first-time Cash Game Festival feature table players Eevert Kokkonen from Finland and Jordan Allan from Scotland.
As has been the case throughout the festival, Andrew "Picasso" Hedley and Henry Kilbane will be commentating the action. You can watch along by clicking on the Live Streaming tab or by heading to the Cash Game Festival Twitch channel.
"That was Fantastic!"
Cash Game Festival veteran Peter La Terra from Sweden, who was playing the €2/€2 pot-limit Omaha feature table loose and fast, won a huge pot at the end of the session to book a profit of €1,996.
This equates to a huge 998 big blinds to catapult him ahead of Rikard Relander's 754 big blinds won at a feature table yesterday in the lead for the trophy and a Cash Game Festival package valued at €1,500 to Platinum Casino in Sunny Beach, Bulgaria on Aug. 8-12.
La Terra was in a hurry to join others for the VIP dinner but as he was leaving the cashier he smiled before he shared, "That was fantastic!"
A €5/€10 no-limit hold'em table is currently being set-up with play scheduled to be live on the stream at 9 p.m. EEST.
