No Excuse
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.

Hallee: 
Gonzales: 
Board:

Allez, Hallee
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.
Quads for Griner!
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.
Kastler Knocked Down
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.
Ellis Doubled Through Kakon
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.
