We’ve just lost another player here on the final table, as Derek Watanabe was eliminated in 7th place.
The hand started with Patrick Pilotte-Renaud opening from the button to 325K. Derek then announced he was all-in from the small blind, for a total of 1.125M, which put Andrej Bachynsky into the tank, who was in the big blind position. After a few moments of silence, Andrej announced the call, committing roughly 20% of his stack, which forced Patrick out of the hand.

Derek got up with a smile and shook his opponents hand, then wished the remaining players good luck before making his way to the cashiers for this $4,780 prize.
The tournament is now on a short chip-up break, and play will resume in level 32 momentarily.
7th place: Derek Watanabe, $4,780.
