Teddy had TT on the final hand. If you slow down the end and pause it just after he throw the cards, you can see that they are both tens.

Yes it's definately TT. There's one frame where it's clearly visible.

level? no there isn't. the point is that it doesn't matter what KGB had, because they want you to think that HU poker is about getting into your opponents heads, etc etc. So as long as Teddy is convinced Mike is on a draw, he'll fire two barrels and when no draws get there he bluff-shoves the river to get the guy who will die if he loses his stack to fold.
why couldn't teddy have like total rags there, or a hand like AT that hollywooded a little? Why wouldn't mike fold a hand like 86s, a hand that might be "on a draw" to a shove on the river?
Also, the last hand is Mike's Johnny Chan moment, "he flops the nut straight and has the discipline to wait him out. He knows he (KGB/Seidel)'s not winning anything with those cards." Funny, the exact same words apply to this hand, and that was the dramatic poetic ending for this movie also.
