EPT Paris 2026 news hub.

What a way to start as a PokerStars ambassador.

Earlier this month, Spanish pro Raúl Mestre joined PokerStars, and at EPT Paris, he was making his first appearance representing Team PokerStars. Not a bad debut; he just won the third edition of the Spin & Go Championship Live.

He takes home €92,539 for the win. Pretty decent first run in the patch.

No one wants to be on the wrong side of that stare!

Adrian Mateos clearly means business at the EPT Paris, and as if it’s not enough he is great at poker, his stare certainly makes his opponents at least a little bit uncomfortable.

We get it, winning is important and all, but why so serious, Adrian?

It’s go time!

David Lappin signs on as PokerStars Team Pro ambassador — which is a huge coup considering the company has cut back on signings considerably in the last few years!

Huge congrats to Lappin!

Spin & Go Championship Live is back for its third edition, this time at Le Palais des Congres in Paris as part of the 2026 PokerStars EPT.

The event is strictly invitational, with 81 online and live qualifiers battling it out in a series of three-handed tables for a share of more than 300,000 euros. No buy-ins, no re-entries, just pure elimination down to a final table of three.

Viewers can watch all the action live on PokerStars TV, with coverage available in six languages.

PokerNews Podcast brings James Hartigan into the mix to preview what’s ahead for PokerStars, particularly focusing on EPT Paris and the Irish Poker Open.

The first EPT of 2026 is underway!

PokerStars has kicked off the new season of the European Poker Tour with the Paris festival. This is third time EPT is visiting Paris, and the action is set to last until the end of the month.

Taking place just before the Main Event, the Spin & Go Championship Live is guaranteed to create some buzz, and the action will be streamed live on YouTube!

Well, PokerStars has a point here.

After a two-year break, EPT Paris is set to make its return from February 18 to March 1. And PokerStars has rightly pointed out why it’s the most eagerly awaited event. The record-breaking debut and even bigger turnout expected in 2024, the stunning and iconic Palais des Congrès—previously home to events like the Eurovision Song Contest and UEFA Euro 2016 and the Spin & Go Championship making a return, and of course, the fact that it’s taking place in one of the most iconic cities in the world.

Give it a read and see why EPT Paris is the tournament everyone’s talking about.
