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 
against 
and doubled up on an 
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: 
Paul Berende: 
Jan Eckert: 
"I'll take a chop," Berende laughed despite being the favored to win. However, the 
flop gave Eckert a substantial lead, and neither the 
turn nor river turned things for either Dowhan or Berende. Both players made their way to the exit as Eckert stacked up all the chips.
