    "In addition there will be regular cash games (€1/€2, €2.5/€5, €5/€10) are available throughout the days." I really wish you could have portrayed this more accurately. To me throughout the days means from the start of the events, i.e. the 9th June. So I booked my hotel from the 9th to the 15th with the intention of playing the main event and cash games for the remainder of the event. I'm here two days now and there have been no cash games - I hear there 'might' be cash games once the main event starts, this is very annoying as I was goign to go to Castellon, Spain until I found out about the event in Fig Da Foz, when I saw there would supposedly be regular cash games in Fig Da Foz I decided to come here instead. Obviously I was stupid to believe what I read on an internet blog. It would have saved me a couple of hundred euro and not wasted my time if I hadn't seen it.
