Cash Game Festival in Tallinn Again – What a Night!

After 8 successful international poker stops this year, the Cash Game Festival is finally back in Tallinn to end the year with poker and fun. 5 days on non-stop poker started yesterday, Nov. 15th with the opening drinks at 5 PM & will last till late Sunday night, Nov. 19th. In reality, of course, the festival will last till the early hours of Monday morning. But that is how it should be, so we are not complaining. Our host in Tallinn is the super glam Olympic Park Casino and we would like to thank you for making day 1 special for us all! Definitely a very nice casino to be when the weather outside is cold and rainy like it was yesterday.

In Tallinn, the whole Olympic Park Casino’s poker room is ours. There 15+1 poker tables (+1 is the feature table) getting filled with eager poker enthusiasts. And, indeed, we have some very enthusiastic players. Well before the opening drinks, some of the players started arriving at the casino. For example, we were very happy to greet Jeffrey from the Netherlands, a young poker enthusiast who found the Cash Game Festival via our Twitch channel. He loved watching the live stream, so he finally decided to join his first festival in London this year. He loved the experience, so now Tallinn is his second stop. He was very pleased with how easy it was to get from Tallinn airport to the casino. It is basically just 3 kilometers by taxi. As you can see, the small and cozy airport is very close to the city center. Keep in mind if you have not yet been to Cash Game Festival Tallinn stop.

TV Table Talk

This time around, our live feature table is on the poker room’s stage which makes the whole set-up look super cool. Definitely a place you would want to play some live poker. We are also very proud to welcome Andrew Hedley from Scotland to the Cash Game Festival. He is doing the TV table commentary throughout the whole Tallinn festival. An avid poker player and traveler, he also loves talking. This is perfect for us because the Twitch viewers will be entertained for sure.
On day 1 one, both of our feature tables were €2/€2 hold’em. The first TV table game started at 5:30 PM. In seat #3 was the Estonian player & Betsafe qualifier Mairo Toom who is not new to the Cash Game Festival Tallinn stops. He was supposed to be in Panda suit at his festival (to get free beers from Franke) but changed his mind in the morning. He had some business to do during the day and he thought it would be awkward to walk around the city in a panda suit. The suit is safely at home. Hopefully, Mairo will be wearing it some other day. His Instagram name EstonianWeirdo must be justified eventually.
The second TV table that started at 8:30 PM was lovingly named the Fish Birthday Table by the festival tour’s co-founder Franke. In seat #1, there was a birthday boy Nick who had a blast. In seat #5 played NordicBet‘s Poker Manager Jostein, enjoying €2/€2 hold’em with Franke and other little fishes. Wink, wink. However, was there a shark at this feature table?
Indeed there was! Heiti Riisberg from Estonia walked away with the impressive profit of €3364. Even more impressive was the amount of big blinds he won – 1682 which is a record in the run for the TV table trophy since London stop where we introduced our first TV table trophy about 2 months ago. Congratulations, Heiti!

Sviten Special

Before the first TV table session, Franke & Peter La Terra from Sweden were heating up the poker room with some Sviten Special poker. The action was hot and fun, so many were standing around the table, viewing the game. When Franke and Peter are in the house, Sviten is a must!

Cash Game Festival Lucky Draw

You may have already noticed that we like sending our players to CGF next stops. At every festival, some lucky people get to win full packages to next festivals. So, how will you get to go to our London stop that takes place on January 3rd-7th? It is very easy actually. All you need to do is to play poker at the festival. Special tickets are given out every hour to those at poker tables. You fill in your name and contact details and then your ticket will go to the draw box. There will be 2 draws, on Friday and Sunday. You do not have to be present at the time of the draw. We know, that some of you need to travel back home, not being able to be at the casino. We will draw your name and contact you via email or phone. So, make sure your handwriting is clear enough.
