Some other champions who took a shot at this flight but were not fortunate enough to make it through include bracelet winners Barak Wisbrod, Sebastian Langrock, Asi Moshe, Mykhailo Gutyi, Timur Margolin and Dash Dudley.
Dudley won his second bracelet this afternoon after taking down Event #2 of the series: €550 Pot-Limit Omaha. He didn't waste any time and directly took a shot at more glory, However he couldn't survive the day. He, as well as all the others, will have the opportunity to take a shot at the third and final flight of this event which will take place tomorrow, on Friday October 18th, at 2 p.m. local time.
The survivors of all flights will combine for Day 2 on Saturday October 19th at 1 p.m. local time to continue to battle it out.
