Whether they're new or they've bricked any/all of the opening three flights, players are now getting ready for Day 1d of the €1,100 Estrellas Poker Tour Main Event, which kicks off at 7 p.m. local time following an announcement that the flight would be delayed by one hour.
While the third flight currently has attracted around 1,400 entries at the time of writing, the first two starting flights attracted a total of 1,170 entries, with 176 survivng to make Day 2 and take home at least a min-cash.
The player who is currently way out in front is Slovakia's David Urban, who bagged a total of 833,000, which equates to nearly 28 starting stacks.

Just like yesterday's evening flight, play will consist of 30-minute levels. Players will start the day with 30,000 chips and one re-entry per flight is allowed. Late registration closes at the end of Level 10, which should come around 12:45 a.m. local time. The night will come to an end when only 15 percent of the starting field remains.
Day 2 levels start at the earliest final level from the Day 1 flights. For example, if five of the Day 1 flights finish at level 17 and one flight finishes during level 13, play will resume at level 13 on Friday.
