After a short break Yevgeniy “Atimos” Timoshenko (right) and Ran Azor were back at the tables, still playing at the 150k / 300k blinds.  After showing his willingness to fold hands Ran Azor finally made a stand calling off his chips with the QT after he had opened for 800k and Timoshenko moved all in over the top.  Azor had around 4 million chips to start the hand, well covered by the nearly 30 million of Timoshenko who had Azor all in and was ahead with his A3.

Azor flopped top pair on the QJ7 flop and it looked like he would double up again.  Timoshenko and Azor stood side by side as the cards came out, both smiling and with Timoshenko calling for the K to hit on the turn to make it interesting by giving him a flush and straight draw.  Instead the K hit and Timoshenko seemed resigned to going back to grinding away at Azor but as he called for Azor to make 2 pair the T peeled off on the river, fulfilling Timoshenko’s call for Azor to make 2 pair and giving Timoshenko the straight.

Yevgeniy Timoshenko wins $2,149,960 for his victory in the $25k buy in World Poker Tour Championship event at the young age of 21 years and just over 2 months old making him the second youngest WPT winner in history with only Nick Schulman winning a title at a younger age.

Ran Azor gets $1,446,265 for his runner up efforts here at the Bellagio.
