Players such as Halil Coknez, Simone Demasi and Marcin Puczylowski all fired yesterday but failed to make the cut, and will no doubt try their luck at one of the remaining flights.

The second of three Day 1's will take place at 4:00 p.m. local time on Thursday, July 4 at Casino Schenefeld, following the same structure as today's flight.
