"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."

Karian:
![{A-Diamonds}](/img/cards/da.gif)
![{9-Diamonds}](/img/cards/9d.gif)
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

![{2-Diamonds}](/img/cards/2d.gif)

Karian earns a tidy $126,000 for his efforts over the past four days.
Heads-up Chip Counts
![](https://s.pnimg.net/GfxHYDern7tkspj06C5rxR-qsFaab260tb7N6tHtpyU/pr:reporting-leading-desktop/aHR0cHM6Ly9wbmlt/Zy5uZXQvbHJlcC83/LzYzL3g4ODMzOWEy/YWFjLmpwZw.webp)
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.
