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.
