Live coverage: AndyPSX claims the final nine spots in the Spin & Go Championship tournament
The Spin & Go Championship Live in Barcelona has reached its second round, with nine players still in contention for the €100,000 first prize. Among these nine is PokerStars Team Pro, AndyPSX, who has advanced impressively through the tournament.
AndyPSX, who admitted to having limited experience with Spins but enjoys the tournament format, won the last Round 1 match on the feature table. He will battle it out in Round 3, where he will face off against players like Krystian Lisowski.
Krystian Lisowski will meet AndyPSX in Round 3, having qualified for the event from a Step 1 freeroll. Another notable player in Round 3 is Joao Nascimento, who also freerolled into this year's Spin & Go Championship. Joao started playing in 2018 and has now advanced to Round 3.
Table 1 in Round 3 includes David Xarau, Claudiu Moraru, and Guilherme Kleist. David Xarau, a semi-professional Spaniard who started playing poker in 2007, has already defeated Gerardo Gomez and Michal Resz to secure his place in Round 3. Guilherme Kleist, who also played in the inaugural Spin & Go Championship Live in Prague, has also advanced.
Meanwhile, Table 2 in Round 3 features Axel Piñeiro, Joao Nascimento, and Ilari Tiainen. Axel Piñeiro, Adam McKola's vanquisher from Round 1, advanced to Round 3, eliminating Adam despite his two victories. Ilari Tiainen, a Finnish poker player who got into the game through a YouTuber, also plays ice hockey and tennis in his spare time.
Unfortunately, Adam McKola and Skye Pace were eliminated in Round 1 and Round 2, respectively. However, Jokin Ruiz secured victory at his table in Round 2, ensuring his progress to the next round.
Notable absences from the remaining players include Andre Akkari and defending champion Carlos Gurdiel, who were both eliminated in the second heat. The search results do not provide information about who ranked first in Round 3 so far.
With only eight other players standing between him and the €100,000 first prize, the €100,000 first prize is within reach for AndyPSX. The tournament continues to heat up as the remaining players fight for the top spot. Stay tuned for more updates from the Spin & Go Championship Live in Barcelona.
