The first of the cash game challenge heats was a fiery one and it ended with Israeli Yariv Avraham Gabriel scoring a 174 big blind victory. He sat with €1,000 and cashed out a profit of €870. Yariv and 'Stallion' dominated the session, both ending up big winners, with only one other player ending up in the green.
The session was live streamed and can be viewed on The Festival Series Twitch channel.
