On the first hand back from break Azor raised and was put all in by Timoshenko.

Azor called and turned up his Q T to Timoshenko's A 3.

Q J 7 on the flop, Azor took the lead!

Azor asked for a deuce but got a K on instead.

Timoshenko had traded the three remaining aces as outs for the three remaining tens.

They stood side by side and watched the dealer deliver the river.

The T!

Timoshenko made broadway! Azor raised his hands in despair.

A straight, we don't believe! Yevgeniy Timoshenko 2009 WPT Champion! He grabs $2,149,960 for first and Azor takes $1,446,265 for second.

Play is set to resume after another short "TV" break.

Some of the staff in charge sense that the end is near and have begun dismantling parts of the set.

Ran Azor might have something to say about that, however.

He is still hanging tough despite being smacked down over and over again by Timoshenko.

He still has chips and in poker, that's all you need.

After a brief period of stability, Israeli Ran Azor has thrown it back in reverse.

Yevgeniy Timoshenko made it 600,000 to go and Azor called.

The flop came K T 3 and both checked.

The 5 came on the turn and Timoshenko called a bet of 425,000.

The T came on the river and Azor checked.

This time Timoshenko fired out 1.5 million.

Azor made the call and Timoshenko turned up the Brunson!

Ten-deuce made for trip tens and Azor is back down to 5 million just like that.

Ran Azor finally found a hand he couldn't fold - pocket kings!

Although he did fold them pre-flop yesterday.

This time Yevgeniy Timoshenko had deuces, all the money went in the middle and after a board of blanks, Israeli Ran doubled up.

With almost 6 million in chips now, Azor is back in it.

Ran Azor apparently didn't get the memo handed out before the final table resumed that this is not the WPT Championship of folding.

Israeli Ran has allowed himself to get whittled down to 4 million in chips with very little resistance.

The one time he did put up a fight, Timoshenko rivered a straight against him to take another decent pot.

Timoshenko is grinding away the victory one raise at a time on over 30 million now.

"Ran folds, Yevgeniy wins the pot," are the words coming out the tournament director's mouth most often as heads-up continues.

But despite Timoshenko picking up a lot of pots, Israeli Ran Azor is still hanging in there.

Most recently Yevgeniy flat called from the button and Ran Azor made it 600,000 more.

"You don't want to see a flop," Timoshenko asked as he made the call.

The flop came 3 Q 9. Ran checked and Timoshenko checked behind.

The turn brought the T.

Ran checked again, but this time Timoshenko bet 1,050,000.

"Ran folds and Yevgeniy wins the pot," the TD said yet again.

"Let's see more flops," Timoshenko said. "What do you say?"

Ran said nothing audible there, but he did talk to the WPT's Amanda Leatherman before the final table began. Check out the video below:

It looked like Azor was headed in the right direction, but that didn't last too long.

Azor opened for 650,000 and Timoshenko called. The flop was the T 7 4 and Azor continued with 700,000. Timoshenko made it 2.1 million to go and Azor called.

Both players checked the K turn.

Timoshenko then checked the T river.

Azor bet 1.6 million and Timoshenko thought for a bit before check raising it to 7 million.

Azor looked a little flustered and mucked his hand. Just like that Israeli Ran was back down to 7 million.

Israeli Ran Azor suddenly climbed back over the 10 million mark when he hit a straight on the river.

The board was J T 9 A when Azor fired 560,000.

Timoshenko called and the river delivered the 7.

This time Israeli Ran bet 800,000. Timoshenko called and was shown the T 8 for a straight.

On the next hand, Azor bullied his way in another pot to bring his total closer to 11 million. It ain't over yet folks!

Despite all the aggression, Ran Azor still has a huge mountain to climb and he just took a step backwards.

He made it 650k pre-flop and Yevgeniy Timoshenko flatted. The flop came 9 6 3 and after a check from Timoshenko, Azor fired again.

This time he made it 550k, but when Timoshenko check-raised it up 900,000 more, Azor was forced to drop his hand.

It's now 25 million for Timoshenko with Azor under 8 million.

Ran Azor has ramped up the aggression heads-up.

He's raising almost every button and re-raising from the big blind when Yevgeniy Timoshenko tries the same.

A moment ago he was reminded to show his cards to the hole-card cam after yet another raise.

"Now after you can see all my hands," he said to Timoshenko.

"Does that mean that was a bluff?" Timoshenko asked.
