The TD had to ask Jason Hallee's rail, who were still hanging around, drinking beer and chatting, to quieten down a little so those still in the tournament could concentrate.
"But we're French-Canadian," came the excuse.
They've gone now, and this is a much less rowdy, although perhaps less fun, final for their absence.

With the board reading 
Billy Griner announced that we was all in. William Kakon called and tabled 
. Griner showed 
and Kakon was in bad shape.
The turn card was a 
and the river brought a 
to the felt. William Kakon is our 6th place finisher.
Griner is now up to 1,600,000.
Christopher Gonzales limped in on the cutoff and Jason Hallee shoved from the button. The blinds passed but Gonzales made what transpired to be a very easy call.
Hallee: 
Gonzales: 
Board: 
"Booo!" said Hallee's rail as their boy busted out. Nevertheless he can buy them all a round now, as he's taking home an impressive $73,719.
Christopher Gonzales opened the pot with 235,000 chip-raise under the gun and Chris Kastler moved all in on the button. Gonzales called the additional 675,000 chips.
Showdown
Kastler: 
Gonzales: 
The board ran out 
and Kastler is our 8th place finisher.
Gonzales moved up to 3,500,000 chips.
Jason Hallee opened for 105,000 and William Kakon called in the big blind to see a 
flop. Kakon checked and Halle bet 115,000, eliciting a fold from the hapless and by now short-stacked Kakon. Cheering erupted at the Hallee end of the rail. He tried to keep a straight face but eventually cracked a smile.
By the by although Mike Ellis wins in terms of railer volume, Hallee is ahead on numbers - we reckon he's got around 15 folks here cheering him on. Their boy was on 950,000 after that hand.
Kakon meanwhile dropped down into the danger zone. He shoved from the button a few hands later but got no callers, and remains for the moment perched on 415,000, just over eight big blinds.
David Wilkinson opened the with a 140,000-chip raise on the button and Billy Griner moved all in in the small blind for and additional 325,000 chips. Wilkinson called.
Griner tabled pocket kings and Wilkinson tabled ac eight of hearts.
Flop: 
Turn: Quads for Griner!
River:
Griner now has 930,000 chips, Wilkinson slipped to 1,900,000.
Chris Kastler opened for 150,000 and David Wilkinson called in the big blind to see a 
flop, which they both checked.
Wilkinson checked again on the turn and Kastler now bet 200,000. Wilkinson quickly and silently called, and they saw a river.
Both players reverted to checking on the 
river, and Wilkinson turned over 
for two pair. Kastler couldn't beat it and mucked, his stack down to 1.2 million. Wilkinson was up to 2.5 million after that, in second place behind Christopher Gonzales' 2.8 million.
Jason Hallee opened the pot with a 95,000-chip raise in middle position and William Kakon called from the small blind.
In the big blind, Mike Ellis, announced re-raise all in for an additional 435,000 chips.
Hallee folded and Kakon tanked, before asked the dealer to spread the pot. Kakon eventually called.
Showdown
Ellis:
Kakon: 
The board came out 
and Ellis now has over a million chips. Kakon slipped to 500,000.
