The Nines of Perper Against Puchkov's Big Slick

We happened upon Table 440 with Daniel Perper all in for 103,000 and at risk against Konstantin Puchkov.

Showdown
Puchkov: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Perper: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Perper was racing for his tournament life, and even though he was ahead, he didn't seem too comfortable even after the flop came down {2-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. With that said, Perper did breathe a big sigh of relief when the {9-Hearts} turned and guaranteed him the win. After the meaningless {8-Spades} was put out on the river, Puchkov paid off Perper and dropped to 125,500.
