From a field of 81 players, just nine remain in the Spin & Go Championship Live, chasing a slice of the €300,000 prize pool.

The players all made it through one of three starting flights, and then survived Round 2 late yesterday evening to make it to the second day's action.

Among them is Brazilian Rafaela Figueiredo, who was on the rail six months ago as her husband Guilherme Kleist triumphed in the second edition of the Spin & Go Championship Live. She was also present at the very first edition in Prague at the end of 2024.

Both then qualified for Paris, but it's her who has made it to the final three tables for a shot at her own piece of glory.

Also through Round 3 is PokerStars Ambassador Raul Mestre, sporting the PokerStars patch for the very first time at the event. Mestre has made it to the final table of two European Poker Tour Main Events, finishing eighth at EPT Prague in 2008 and fourth at EPT Barcelona in 2011.

Mestre's last live cash was eleven years ago, in the WSOP Main Event, but he's here in Paris to try and grab another one in the Spin & Go Championship Live.
