Hajek and Kyte Win Big on Day 4 of the 2017 Cash Game Festival Tallinn
The penultimate day of the 2017 Cash Game Festival Tallinn Fall Edition at Olympic Park Casino has been a huge success.
Many players began the day still in the poker room from the night before as there were at least half a dozen tables at 6 a.m. with some never breaking up into the evening.
A handful of the players, including Cash Game Festival regulars Peter La Terra and Ryan Mullarkey, decided after some rest to head to the casino in the early afternoon to compete in a €5/€5 Sviten Special game. Usually, the €2/€2 game plays rather huge, so it was of little surprise that the huge pots being shipped left and right when the stakes were more than twice as large.
As is always the case at the Cash Game Festival, there were two feature tables at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. local time. Betsson qualifier and Cash Game Festival veteran Du?an Hájek from Slovakia proved once again he is a strong player after booking the top performance at the early €2/€2 no-limit hold'em feature table with a profit of €336 or 168 big blinds.
After a small break, the stakes increased to €5/€10 no-limit hold'em at the feature table with an entirely new line-up. Cash Game Festival London trophy winner Jon Kyte proved he was up to par against a solid line-up to win €2,350 or 235 big blinds.
Despite Hajek and Kyte both winning big, neither player is in contention for the Cash Game Festival Tallinn feature table trophy that will be awarded to the player that wins the most big blinds at any of the 10 feature tables during the festival. Going into the final day of the festival, Estonia's Heiti Riisberg holds a huge lead that is likely to hold throughout the festival after winning €3,364 or 1,682 big blinds on a wild and crazy €2/€2 no-limit hold'em table on Day 1.
In addition to the amazing poker action, players with the hospitality package partied throughout the evening at Vabank Night Club.
