In the very first game of the Spin & Go Championship Live, it's Joao Nascimento who notched the first win.

The Brazilian could only watch as his compatriot, Guilherme Kleist, lost out to Krystian Lisowski early on, after both paired their ace on an ace-high board, only for Kleist to be outkicked. Nascimento then doubled through Lisowski into the chip lead after the Polish player's flush draw bricked, and the Brazilian's top pair was good.

Nascimento then put his stack to use shoving on both opponents, busting short-stacked Kleist, who had failed to recover from the confrontation with Lisowski. The Pole managed to double up, but Nascimento eventually secured the victory.

In the final hand, Lisowski got A♣3♣ in against the Q♦6♦ of Nascimento. The A♦9♥7♦ gave Lisowski top pair, but Nascimento had flopped a flush draw. He turned a pair himself on the Q♠ turn, but the flush came in on the 10♦ river and Nascimento secured Game 1.
