Cash Game Festival Heads to London on July 11-15
The Cash Game Festival is once again returning to one of its most popular destinations. More than 120 hours of consecutive cash game action over five days at Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford City in London on July 11-15 is coming up.
This marks the sixth time the festival is visiting the English capital and the second time this year. It is also the fourth stop on the tour, following successful visits to London in January, Bratislava in the beginning of April, and Tallinn at the end of April.
Regardless of what stakes and games players enjoy, there is something for everyone. Stakes begin at just £1/£1 and have been known to be as high as £25/£50 at previous festivals at Aspers. While most of the games are in no-limit hold'em and pot-limit Omaha, players at prior festivals have enjoyed plenty of action in Sviten Special (aka drawmaha), H.O.R.S.E., Open-Face Chinese poker, super dealer's choice, and many other poker variants.
As is always the case, the Cash Game Festival will be hosting two televised feature tables each day. What is different this time around, is that for the first time ever, PokerNews Editor Jason Glatzer will be hosting the commentary alongside Henry Kilbane and George Sandford, both of which have anchored the commentary booth before.
Players come to the Cash Game Festival for the hot poker action but often keep coming back for the fun away from the poker tables.
You can follow the action with hole cards up each day at the Cash Game Festival Twitch channel at 6 p.m. BST and 9 p.m. BST on a 20-minute delay. The action will also be embedded at PokerNews as well as hosted on its Twitch channel.
Part of the excitement for players at the televised feature tables is to be able to have friends and family cheer them on. Another aspect is that they can review their play later with each day's action being saved as a video.
Another exciting aspect of the televised action is that the player that wins the most big blinds at any Cash Game Festival, will walk away with a trophy and a package to the next festival. Norway's Jon Kyte became the first two-time Cash Game Festival trophy winner at the festival's last stop in Tallinn.
Players come to the Cash Game Festival for the hot poker action but often keep coming back for the fun away from the poker tables. The Cash Game Festival helps facilitate a fun atmosphere via it hospitality package that at a minimum always boast welcome drinks, a sporting activity, a VIP dinner, a players' party, and a guided city tour.
If you can't make it to London, rest assured there is another exciting festival less than a month later at Platinum Casino, located just steps away from the sand and surf in Sunny Beach, Bulgaria. This will be the third straight year the festival visits Sunny Beach on Aug. 8-12 with players boasting about the perfect combination of action on and away from the felts.
