The first ever Cash Game Festival in the United Kingdom was a huge success with players from around the world competing at low to high stakes for 120 straight hours over five days from March 30 to April 3 at the Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford City in east London.
The action kicked off on March 30 with players showing up in huge numbers for mid-week action with over 20 tables enjoying a variety of games including no-limit hold'em, dealer's choice pot-limit Omaha, six-plus hold'em, and open-face Chinese poker. Over the weekend, there was barely an empty seat in the poker room when at peek times there were 28 tables of players at stakes ranging from £1/£1 to £25/£50 in all the poker variants already mentioned from earlier in the week in addition to Sviten special and dealer's choice mixed-games.
