It's bad. Paul Berende just got rivered in a massive pot, and he's far from happy. We just heard how, after a raise to 4,000 and a call, he three-bet to 12,900 with pocket kings. The first player folded, but the second moved all in for 88,000.
Berende snap-called this shove and was up against pocket sixes. The river brought out another six, and Berend got knocked down to 60,000 chips. He's back to the drawing board.
