The Cash Game Festival has managed to become a popular poker tournament after it kicked off a few years ago in Tallinn, Estonia. As a matter of fact, the event turned out to be so attractive to players that in 2016 the organisers decided to make an International tour out of it. This year, the Cash Game Festival had several stops in London, Malta and Bulgaria before returning to its home in Tallinn in November.
But that is not all. In 2016 poker lovers will see the event go online, with the Cash Game Festival Online which is the first online edition of the festival that has ever been made. The latter is to take place on the iPoker Network in the period from October 24th to October 30th.
A total of 30 Twitch steamers who are to broadcast their actions will be featured in segments of one hour each on a great number of poker clients such as William Hill Poker, bet365 Poker, Paddy Power Poker, NetBet Poker and Ladbrokes. All the events are scheduled to start at 6 PM UK time on the private Twitch channel of each streamer. The action will also be broadcast on the Cash Game Festival Twitch channel as well as across a number of media outlets.
Each entrant in the Cash Game Festival Online is to separately take part in the competition apart from their individual streamers. They will be put against other streamers for a total of three hours starting 10 PM. The player who manages to generate the most money over the 3-hour session will be automatically sent to the final feature table. On the other hand, the winner in the final table is to take home the so-called Cash Game Festival Tallinn package, which is estimated to a total of €2,000.
The Cash Game Festival Tallinn package includes a buy-in of €800 for the Cash Game Festival at the Olympic Park Casino that is to take place in the period from November 16th to November 20th.
