Margolin Survives at the Last Opportunity

Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Jelle Moene opened from under the gun to 40,000 and Lev Margolin shoved for 395,000 from the small blind. Upon receiving the count, Moene made the call.
Lev Margolin: A?9?
Jelle Moene: 9?9?
Margolin needed a lot of help and didn't find any on the 2?K?5? flop. The 10? put Margolin one step closer to the rail, but the A? on the river kept him alive at the last possible moment.
