Recap from London – Day 1

We are more than happy that Cash Game Festival is back for the second round of action in London! The first day started for us at a familiar place – Asper’s Casino Stratford, where we kicked off the festival with welcome drinks at 5PM. Some previous well known faces were here and the mood was high – a lot of hugs accompanied by some bubbly champagne.
The first TV table of the day kicked off shortly after 6PM with stakes at £1/£2 no-limit hold’em and no cap on what players can buy in for. Both locals and sponsored players attended the stream – with familiar faces like Jack Fenton, who has attended every Cash Game Festival since it was introduced in London earlier this year; Slotsmillion pro Maret Komarova and our own Martin “Franke” von Zweigbergk. Komarova came away as one of the big winners.
The second and final feature table was a £2/£5 no limit hold’em. You can catch all our streams on our Twitch channel (check it out: www.twitch.tv/cashgamefestival). Our own always entertaining Brandon Allen is commenting and we have to say, the stream looks better than ever! So make sure to catch Brandon in action twice a day (6PM and 9PM UK Time). Action went on for the whole night – at 23 PM there were 15 tables running, mostly 1-1£ 1-2£ no limit hold’em and some 5-5 pot limit Omaha.
And let’s not forget to mention Asper’s Casino – professional dealers, amazing service with half price food and drinks during the Cash Game Festival and massages from beautiful massage therapists. We might never leave!
