The first of two events on The Festival and Malta schedule also began today, at 12:30 PM. After the first hour of play, the field has grown to 28 players, including festival series founder Franke, who absolutely loves the game and is sure to play the high-roller version of it on Sunday as well.
It’s actually not the first OFC to take place during the series, as on the final event on the Vamos Poker Tour on Sunday was also an Open Face Chinese event, which was won by Siarhei Narohzny, who is also playing today.
It will be no surprise The Festival mixed game regulars are taking part today such as Sascha Manns, and Scott Kenyan, who came second in last nights PLO/5/6 card event. This was his second runner-up finish in consecutive days following on from Thursdays, eight game. Congratulations Scott!
Scott won the OFC High Roller in Rozvadov and will be hoping to emulate that feat. If he does win, it will be a world first, as no player has ever won back-to-back OFC titles and live streamed both of them. Yes, Scott is once again streaming his play on his 'Pokerbrahs' Twitch Channel.
Also, the player of the series points will not be totalled up officially until after The Festival series ends , however a quick glance all the results suggest that Scott is certainly in pole position now to claim his second Player of the Series title. Will he keep the chasing pack at bay before the final lap of the track on Sunday?
