Dowhan and Berende Sniped by Eckert

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

A short-stacked Paul 'padjes' Berende got it in for below 10,000 against Koen Roos with {A-}{7-} against {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and doubled up on an {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Spades} board. Shortly after, Berende found himself in an all-in situation again.

On the button, Dariusz Dowhan shoved all in for 8,200 and Berende reshoved 18,200 from the small blind. Jan Eckert snap-called in the big blind to put both players at risk.

Dariusz Dowhan: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Paul Berende: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Jan Eckert: {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

"I'll take a chop," Berende laughed despite being the favored to win. However, the {A-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop gave Eckert a substantial lead, and neither the {J-Hearts} turn nor {7-Spades} river turned things for either Dowhan or Berende. Both players made their way to the exit as Eckert stacked up all the chips.
