Cash Game Festival Malta – Day 1

When starting to write this day one of Cash Game Festival on Malta is still running and at the moment we have eight (8!!) tables running, on a Wednesday and on the first night of the festival. Some people would say this is a major success but we aim even higher of course. Our intention is to fill all the twenty tables during a lot of the event.
Considering that for the future let’s talk about the present. As day one is over when this is released we would like to thank everyone showing of for day one of the action at the tables. Let me provide with a recap of all the action taking part during the day. This is of course something that will be posted after every gaming they letting you guys feel a little bit gutted not being here or maybe we can have someone take the first flight possible down for the event.
The day started of with welcome drinks in the casino bar and simultaneously the final preperations for the first live streamed table took part. We had a lot of nice guests stopping by to cool down with a beer and some of the house red wine brought to us from the poker manager Roman Gabriel, thank you Roman! Everyone enjoyed the drinks and this is for sure something special to have so that we can meet up with the players and the partners.
Of course, as it should be due to all the chatting around on the floor, the first live stream was a little late but up and running at 6pm. Eight excited players took their seats and we actually had a couple of last minute walks in for the stream. It felt good that we actually could give them seats as well and we are sure they appriciated it and will return in the future of this event. The first game out was a 1/2 Texas Hold’em and we had people from all around the world, including players from United Arab Emirates, Finland, Israel and Northern Ireland. As you can see the Cash Game Festival is for everyone regardless your native country.
The game went on for a couple of hours and during this time no one actually ended the game but we hade the opportunity to get 6 more tables running, including the popular game Drawmaha (Sviten Special) and an amazing 5 card PLO with 5(!) live straddles. That was amazing and we enjoy the wierd games taking place and that is something we are gonna continue with.
When it was time for the second and final live stream of the evening was set to be a 2/5 NL Hold’em with a nice line up including our nice guest Juha Helppi. Helppi, that we interviewed prior to this event (Look in the news history for this one) had a good time and enjoyed a winning session before hitting the bed for the night. I have the feeling that he will be back. Except for Juha we had players from Italy in Ivano Silvaggio as well as from Scotland in Dean Lyall. I think they both enjoyed the game at the feature table and for does of you who accidentially missed out on day one action make sure to tune in www.twitch.tv/cashgamefestival tomorrow at 1300 hours to keep a track on the action. The first game of tomorrow will be another 1/2 Texas Hold’em but tomorrow we also will have a PLO game running live on Twitch!
