Montagna Corrado Eliminated in 43rd Place ($178,857)

Montagna Corrado - 43rd Place
Montagna Corrado - 43rd Place
During the break, a railbird came to our media desk and asked if there were any more Italian players left in the field. We answered that we weren't sure.

It turns out there was -- until just a few minutes ago. Montagna Corrado of Italy moved all in preflop after Billy Kopp opened with a raise. Kopp quickly called with {J-Spades} {J-Clubs}, a hand in excellent shape against Corrado's {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}. Jacks held up to send Corrado back to Mother Italy with $178,857 in his pockets.
