Defending Champ Stays Alive... Barely

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

We're not sure how the chips went in, but we do know Leonid Markin, who has already exercised his reentry option, was at risk against Mike Watson, who is also on his second bullet.

Markin: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Watson: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

It was a flip, but not after the flop came down {6-Spades}{a-Spades}{4-Hearts}. The {6-Clubs} turn meant Markin needed a nine on the river to stay alive, and it actually came when the {9-Diamonds} spiked.

"There we go," Markin said with a smile.
