Asaf Berman raised to 1,600 in early position and got four callers until Enrico Macias Romero three-bet to 4,500 in the big blind. Berman called, Tzur Levy called in middle position, Giorgio Silva called in the hijack, and Murilo Garcia called in the cutoff.
"Easy call," Macias Romero said to Simon Wilson in the small blind, who also called. "Family pot," Macias Romero added as only Scott Reynolds wasn't involved in the hand.
The flop came 10♠6♣2♥ and Berman bet 5,000. Garcia, Wilson, and Macias Romero all called.
The K♦ turn was checked through, and the 3♦ fell on the river. Action was checked to Garcia who bet 45,600. Wilson tanked for several minutes into the break before calling, while Macias Romero and Berman both folded.
Garcia showed 5♥4♠ for a straight, and Wilson mucked.

Simon Wilson came in with a raise from early position and Asaf Berman called from the hijack. Tzur Levy squeezed it to roughly 8,000 from the cutoff, which Andreas Goeller cold-called out of the big blind. Wilson let go of his hand, but Berman called to make it a three-way.
Upon seeing the dealer spread out the 2♥7♣10♥ flop, Goeller led out for 12,000. Berman quickly called and then Levy jammed for 80,100. Goeller stuck in his stack of around 75,000, causing Berman to go into the tank. After thinking it over for a minute or so, Berman revealed J♥8♥ for a flush draw and folded.
Andreas Goeller: 7♠4♠ 
Tzur Levy: Q♣Q♦
Levy's pocket queens were in great shape against the second pair of Goeller.
The A♥ rolled off on the turn, and Goeller needed to improve to trips or two pair to remain seated in the Main Event. A 5♦ completed the board and Goeller headed for the showers, while Levy was up to almost 200,000.

Ridvan Sare opened to 1,300 and Barak Oz called in the next seat. Remigiusz Wyrzykiewicz on the button made it 7,200 to go and was called by Sare only, who then tanked the A♠10♣6♦ flop before leading for 6,500 and picking up a call from Wyrzykiewicz.
Both checked the 6♣ on the turn and Sare bet the 10♦ river for 14,000. Wyrzykiewicz gave it some consideration and elected to fold.

With around 21,000 in the pot on a board of 3♥7♦K♠Q♠, Alexander Burghardt checked from the cutoff and Artem Kobylynskyi threw in a chunky bet of 24,000 on the button. Burghardt called.
A 9♦ fell on the river and both players decided to check it down, with Burghardt showing a missed royal flush draw with A♠J♠. Kobylynskyi had that beat with J♣7♣ for a pair of sevens, and that earned him the pot.

Kai Nicholls raised to 1,600 in middle position and was called by Jeannette Mendez on the button, Martin Vittek in the small blind, and Mario Scalia in the big blind.
The flop came 10♥8♥5♥ and action checked to Mendez who bet 3,500. Only Nicholls called and the 7♥ fell on the turn.
Mendez then bet 3,500 and Nicholls called. The river was the 6♦ and Mendez bet 10,300. Nicholls called once more, and Mendez scored A♥J♥ for the flopped nut flush to win the pot.
