Recap Bulgaria – Day 1
September 1, 2016Recap’ du Jour 1 – Sunny Beach, Bulgarie
September 2, 2016With 40% of the festival done, the action increased a lot during Thursday night. With things starting off with the live streamed 1/2 NLH table, the cards were in the air and an evening full of action begun.
Before getting on it more, please enjoy the highlight video from day 1:
The first few tables starting turned out to be NLH-tables from levels 1/2 – 2/5. We were also on the brick to get the first 5/10 table running but it got postponed until tonight’s second stream instead. More about that in a short while.
Whilst the players at the live featured table had some great action going, some of our guests and online campaign winners went for a Mini-golf challenge close to the casino. This festivals sport challenge was followed by a nice dinner at restaurant Terra. The satisfaction spread around the participants before they head back to the casino for some late night poker action.
Day went to night and the number of tables increased quick. With our friends from Latvia, including high hand winner from Malta; Andrejs Galkins, we got a five card PLO game running at stakes 2/5. Some great action occurred and there was a line for that table for many hours. Besides the five card PLO, a couple of regular four card PLO tables were started too. The actions are by many reasons higher on these table. It must be something with having a bunch of more options in that game compared to the regular game of Texas Hold’em.
We also started the High Hand Jackpot for this stop too. This time, we will not only give away one but two packages to London. One in NLH and one in PLO (Four cards only). The rules are simple: The highest hand in respective discipline until midnight on Sunday will get a package worth €1.700 to London! Included in this package is accommodation for two, travel money, initial stake on the Live table and the hospitality package for the winner and her/his friend.
Speaking of London. As you might already have noticed, the registration for that event has started and we are currently receiving around 10 registrations for the event. Every day. This gives us massive expectations for the event and my suggestion is to you to join in on all the fun too.
So what’s on the schedule today? Just now, 30 persons left for the epic Yacht ride in the Black Sea. Weather is a little bit windy, sunny but with some clouds and the temperature is around 29 degrees Celsius. For sure this is good weather conditions not to burn yourself that much whilst riding the boat. Of course we brought our own production team, including a drone, to document all the action happening.
In the casino we have a Texas-table running since yesterday and at 5pm eastern Europe time we will have our first TV-table for the day. Make sure to watch the stream on www.twitch.tv/cashgamefestival. Besides that, tonight we will have our first broadcasted 5/10 NLH from Bulgaria. Seven players agreed to meet up tonight for some action on a decent level. This will be fun and the stream starts at 9pm EET.
We are currently doing regular updates on www.facebook.com/cashgamefestival too. Make sure to follow us there for real time updates all day long.
Finally, I would like to say it the same way as yesterday: To enjoy all the photos taken by the lovely Natalie from Pastakeda Photography, visit our Facebook page linked to above. But here you have some of the goodies from day two:
