DAVID Gilbert broke down on the brown while on course for a maximum break in his match against Kacper Filipiak, but he maintained his concentration to win 4-2.
Meanwhile, the cue which aided Steve Davis to six world titles went missing en route to Poland, although it has since turned up. The 54-year-old seemed at ease with his unfamiliar cue as he rolled back the years to record victories over Jaroslaw Kowalski, Australian Goldfield Open champion Barry Hawkins, and fellow veteran Alan McManus.
