It Was the Peter La Terra Show on Day 3 of the Cash Game Festival Tallinn

Jaxon

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.

"That was Fantastic!"

Jaxon

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.

Jon Kyte Trying to Win His Second Cash Game Festival Trophy

Jaxon

Jon Kyte won the first Cash Game Festival trophy when the feature table contest began in September at Aspers Casino in London.

Since then, the Norwegian has won a handful of tournament trophies, but becoming the first player to win his or her second Cash Game Festival trophy is something he is hungry for.

He will have a chance today as he is in Seat 8 at the early €2/€2 pot-limit Omaha feature table. He will need to best the 754 big blinds won yesterday by Rikard Relander or €1,508 to have a chance.

Kyte's work is cut out for him as he has a tough lineup to win money from. You can see how he and others do by clicking on the Live Stream tab in our coverage or at the Cash Game Festival Twitch channel.

Here is a look at the rest of players also competing for money and the trophy at the early feature table.

Ronni Borg, in Seat 1, is a Cash Game Festival veteran and is attending the festival this time around thanks to winning a full package at Unibet Poker.

Peter La Terra, in Seat 2, needs no introduction as he has been to just about every Cash Game Festival. La Terra is a fierce competitor at any game, especially at Sviten Special which he also plays locally in his home country of Sweden.

Ryan "Metalface" Davey, in Seat 3, was already the biggest winner once at the feature table. However, then the game was hold'em which he most often plays. He would be among of a handful of players to book the most profit at multiple feature tables during the same festival if he outperforms his table.

Also appearing at his second feature table this festival is 32Red qualifier Edgars Armans, in Seat 4. This is his third straight festival and shared he has also already won a package in an online satellite for the next Cash Game Festival at Platinum Casino in Sunny Beach, Bulgaria on Aug. 8-12.

Ireland's Karen Muir, in Seat 5, is attending her second straight Cash Game Festival. Muir enjoys the action regardless of the stakes and shouldn't be a player overlooked at the table.

Muir's friend and Cash Game Festival Dublin winner Kevin Malone, in Seat 6, has attended every Cash Game Festival since winning the trophy in his hometown poker room.

Betsafe Product Coordinator Taivo Egel rounds off the action in Seat 7. This is his second feature table after he previously appeared the last time the Cash Game Festival visited Tallinn in November.

Live with Slovakia's Alan Sabo

Jaxon

Alan Sabo won a package to the Cash Game Festival Tallinn during the last festival at his hometown poker room at Banco Casino in the Slovakian capital of Bratislava earlier in the month.

Players received tickets for a drawing for a Cash Game Festival Tallinn package valued at €1,500 if they had a hand of quads or better. Sabo won his ticket in during the last hour before the promotion ended after winning a hand with quad fives.

Sabo thought he had won when the first ticket was pulled and Andro Loos announced that the winner had quad fives.

However, another player in Cash Game Festival Dublin trophy winner Kevin Malone won the package to Tallinn in that draw after also winning a ticket with quad fives.

Temporarily, Sabo thought he was down on his luck. However, he then found out a second ticket was being drawn and Loos once again announced the winning player at pocket fives. At this point, Sabo felt certain he would be selected and he was.

You can hear about this story and more in a PokerNews interview with Sabo live on Facebook in the park in front of Olympic Park Casino.
