There's 20 minutes on the clock for it, but it might be a bit quicker than that.
Back soon.
A large pot had amassed in the middle of the table by the river of the 
board when Mike Ellis bet 600,000. The action moved back to Chris Gonzales, who announced all in. Various people with cameras and the like materialized out of the ether and crept up to the table. Ellis tanked up, standing over the table. Gonzales stared blankly at the felt, mouth agape.
Eventually Ellis folded and the camera people evaporated back into the air. With that, Gonzales was back in the lead on 6.7 million. Ellis dropped back to 4 million.
Since then, play has tightened up considerably. Most notably the two players checked a 
board all the way down, when Christopher Gonzales (out of position) turned over 
for a straight - he had presumably hoped that Mike Ellis would at some point bet but was disappointed.
With the stacks still very deep - around 38 big blinds for Gonzales and around 52 for Ellis - we're just going to have to wait for two big hands if we want to see some serious action.
The hand became interesting on the turn of the 
board, when Mike Ellis bet 500,000. Chris Gonzales called.
They saw a 
on the river and this time Ellis bet a nice round million. Gonzales called again, but mucked when Ellis turned over 
for a flopped set.
Ellis took the lead for the first time during the heads up match - he's now playing 6.3 million to Gonzales' 4.5 million.
Chris Gonzales raised his button and then called the reraise to 500,000 from Mike Ellis. Ellis bet out another 500,000 on the 
flop and Gonzales laid it down, to a murmur of approval from the now rather subdued and sleepy Ellis rail which now includes reigning Irish Open champion James Mitchell and British circuit pro Chaz Chattha.
Mike Ellis opened for 260,00 on the button and Chris Gonzales called. They saw a flop.
Flop: 
Gonzales checked, and then called 250,000 from Ellis. They saw a turn.
Turn: 
Gonzales checked again and Ellis made another bet. This time Gonzales folded, and Ellis was, if not exactly even, back up to 3.5 million.
Mike Ellis checked the 
flop and Chris Gonzales bet 120,000. Ellis called and they proceeded to the turn.
Both players checked the turn, but come the river Ellis bet out 300,000. Gonzales decided to take it no further, and Ellis took the pot.
