A Rare Flop

Yevgeniy Timoshenko raised to 40,000 on the button and Joon Hee Yeah made the call.

After several hands of blind-stealing, we see a rare flop of {K-Spades}{J-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. Yeah checked to Timoshenko who fired 60,000 to take it down.

Joon Hee Yeah Doubles Up

Joon Hee Yeah has some breathing room.

After trading blinds and antes for five hands, Yevgeniy Timoshenko and Joon Hee Yeah got it all in the middle preflop. Timoshenko moved in from the small blind and was snap-called by Yeah.

Timoshenko: {8-Hearts} {5-Hearts}
Yeah: {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}

When Timoshenko saw Yeah's hand, he grimaced and shrugged. The board ran out {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}, no help for Timoshenko. The dealer counted Yeah down at 241,000. Double it now.

Heads-up Chip Counts

As we commence head-up play, Yevgeniy Timoshenko holds a commanding chip lead over Joon Hee Yeah.

Timoshenko: 2,301,000
Yeah: 257,000

It's been a remarkable effort by Yeah to come back from the short stack to make it to heads-up play, while Timoshenko has been completely dominant and thoroughly deserves his chip advantage.

Who will walk away the champion and $500,000 richer? There will be a short pause before play recommences, but stay tuned to PokerNews as this tournament reaches an exciting conclusion.

Rober Karian Eliminated in 3rd Place ($126,000)

Rober Karian - 3rd Place
Perhaps Yevgeniy Timoshenko's testy exchange with Matt Savage lit a fire under him. For the second hand in a row, he has eliminated a player. He opened the pot for 45,000, bringing a quick "all in" declaration from next-to-act Rober Karian. Timoshenko wasted no time in calling.

Timoshenko: {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs}
Karian: {A-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}

It was a repeat of their earlier all-in confrontation; Timoshenko had the bigger ace but lost after Karian spiked his kicker on the flop.

Everyone leaned forward to see if Karian could do it again, and indeed it looked like he might when the flop came {5-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}. Karian needed a nine or a diamond to win the hand, or a non-diamond three for a chop. This time, however, the best hand held up when the board bricked running sevens, {7-Hearts} {7-Spades}.

Karian earns a tidy $126,000 for his efforts over the past four days.

Casey Kastle Eliminated in 4th Place ($90,000)

A little steamed, Yevgeniy Timoshenko raised to 45,000 from the button before Casey Kastle moved all in for 132,000 from the big blind. Timoshenko made the pot-committed call.

Timoshenko: {K-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Kastle: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

The board fell {6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{K-Hearts} and Timoshenko spiked a king on the river to send a dagger through the heart of Kastle and eliminate him in fourth place for $90,000 in prize money.

Timoshenko Returns

Yevgeniy Timoshenko has just come running back into the tournament area, saying something about a problem with a room key.

"How many did I miss?" he asked tournament director Matt Savage, referring to the number of hands played.
"Four," replied Savage.
"Four?" repeated an annoyed Timoshenko. "You couldn't have waited?"
Savage simply shook his head no.
"That's cold-blooded, Matt."
