After a bit of a hectic day but with the sun shining outside, the entries were streaming in and out of the tournament area. The ice cream that was handed out during one of the breaks, brought some fun relief to the players and seemed to be appreciated by all.
Unfortunately, not everyone managed to make it through to Day 2. Players like Charlotte van Brabander, Yves Sergeant, Fabrice Somers, Philippe De Schepper, Glenn De Cuyper, Dehlia de Jong, Ward De Bock, Mateusz Moolhuizen, Adrian Nica, Pieter Ram, Triffon Pappas, Karen Safaryan, Jean Marie Vanderborne, and many more fell at the many hurdles that were set up for them today.
Day 2 will feature 45 minutes levels again and play will continue until the final table has been reached. The seat draw is to follow!
