Brandon Allen has been commentating on all of the feature tables during the first four days of the festival. As mentioned earlier, the table has flipped and Allen is now on the �1/�2 no-limit hold'em televised feature table instead of announcing it.

Although Allen has gathered many reads on the player, he shared he was a little nervous about being on the other side of the camera and on the table. His nerves might be settled after he just won a big hand early on.

Allen, holding {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} flopped the world with the board showing {9-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{9-Hearts} for a full house. His opponent Matey Sidek, holding {Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs} checked the action to Allen who bet �50. Sidek called and a similar situation came about when the {3-Hearts} appeared on the turn.

Allen then went all-in for his remaining ?�95 after the {j-Hearts} completed the board on the river. Sidek tanked for a few minutes thinking about whether he could be good if he called and opted to fold shipping a pot of over �300 to Allen.

Welcome to PokerNews' live coverage of final day of the 2016 Cash Game Festival Bulgaria at Platinum Casino located just steps away from the boardwalk in Sunny Beach.

During the first four days, players enjoyed non-stop poker action along with many events organized by the festival including a welcome party, mini-golf, VIP dinner, pool party, and a VIP party. Currently, local Bulgarian player Jasen Dichev took down the biggest pot on Day 3 for �3,400.

Today kicked off at 2:00 p.m. with a guided city tour on motorized tricycles followed by a casino contest hosted by the festival. Those not attending events off the felts were already at the casino competing on the felts.

As was the case during the every other day during the festival, the first televised feature table today will be �1/�2 at 5:30 p.m. (GMT +3) on a 20 minute delay before the table switches up to higher stakes at 8:30 p.m. What makes the feature table is unique is that not only it is for ring games, but many of the players will be taking part in a televised poker table for the first time.

Brandon Allen will once again be leading the commentary with many guests popping in and out. You will be able to check out the action here on PokerNews as well as on the Cash Game Festival website and on the Cash Game Festival Twitch channel.

The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be providing updates with some 2016 Cash Game Festival Bulgaria highlights of action on and off the felts throughout the day. Coverage of the poker action will begin around 5:00 p.m., however, we will also give an update about the pool party before then.
