Cash Game Festival Finally in Sunny Beach, Bulgaria

Cash Game Festival team has arrived in Bulgaria. It is our second time here, the last one being in 2016. It is good to be back. Our host Platinum Casino & Hotel has been kind to us. We are expecting good games and many familiar and new faces. The festival will start tomorrow, August 9th, lasting till the early hours of August 14th.
The last time in Bulgaria was epic in terms of a prop bet between the founder of Cash Game Festival Martin Franke von Zweigbergk (best known as Franke) and a London-based recreational poker player, the Estonian Janar Kokk. That prop bet sent Janar Kokk to live in a tiny Polish town Hrubieszow, the birth place of a poker player, a toy maker and an entrepreneur Henry Orenstein, without the option to leave for one month. Deliberately, Franke sent him to a place where he would be cut away from most modern city comforts that Janar and his wife had grown so used to in London. Despite the grim scenario, Janar’s adventure in Poland turned out to be an extremely successful one. First, the mayor of the town heard about the new “imprisoned” town residents, personally offering to help the couple in any way he could. Moreover, he arranged an official reception, honouring Janar and Elora with warm welcome and gifts. Secondly, the Polish national media picked up on the prop bet and the whole deal made national headlines, with the national TV crew visiting the town to interview Janar and Elroa. These two could not have even dreamed of becoming local celebrities but that is exactly what happened to them. Thirdly, while in Hrubieszow, Janar would not just sit and kill the time. Instead, in co-operation with a professional poker player and Betsafe ambassador  Monika Zukowicz, he arranged a charity poker tournament, a low buy-in event, where all the profit would go to a charity called Fundacja Zmieniamy Życie, which helps orphan children in Eastern Poland. What a wonderful way of turning a poker prop bet into something very positive. Something that carries the Cash Game Festival spirit of friendship and kindness.
What can we say about the current affairs in Sunny Beach? The weather is extremely warm with clear skies. The Black Sea is as turquoise blue as it can be with holiday makers all around. The food is delicious and cheap in comparison to the prices in Western Europe. The people here are friendly and warm. This is an ideal setting for a summer poker getaway.
Again, in addition to several other poker variations, we are expecting to play some Sviten Special or “the best game ever” invented in Sweden. This has become the tradition of the Cash Game Festival. Here you can read about the rules of the game if you still have not tried it. Moreover, click here to see a 10-minute Sviten tutorial video hosted by a Swedish poker player Peter La Terra. This video was filmed in Cash Game Festival Gibraltar 2017 and published on our Youtube channel with all our other videos, from teaser trailers to Cash Game Festival live Twitch TV table recordings.
We would not be here without the support of our loyal Partners. We would like to, again, thank each one of them. Here’s to you  Platinum Casino, NordicBet, Europebet, Betsson, Best10, Betsafe and Betsafe Powered by Triobet.
We are hoping to make this event as great as all the other festivals we have had around Europe so far. Year 2017 has been a year of rapid growth  for the Cash Game Festival – the festival that bring together like-minded cash game lovers. Together, let’s make it even bigger.
Yours,
Cash Game Festival Team
