About Raul Mestre

Player. Writer. Coach. Whatever word you use to describe Raúl Mestre, he’s a legend of the game due to his pioneering takes that are now commonplace throughout the industry. Hailing from Spain, he recognized the opportunities the poker boom offered and devised a way to get involved. Before long, he made his name as a high-stakes, online cash game specialist, mainly due to his disciplined approach that helped him rise through the ranks. It wasn’t rare to see Raúl at the business end of tournaments, especially the European Poker Tour (EPT), where he reached the final table in Prague and Barcelona. With over $1,000,000 in live tournament earnings, Raúl has nothing to prove, yet he still returned to PokerStars Spin & Go Championship Live in Paris after a hiatus of almost a decade. He showed no rustiness, claiming 1st place and over €50,000 in prize money.
