Pete Campo keeps adding chips to his leading stack, with John Yale the latest to contribute.

Andries stared at the board for a few moments and then followed the floor to the payout desk to collect $5,178 for his 30th-place finish.
With about 50,000 in the middle and following a flop, Matthew Silberzweig checked from the blinds, then Adam Bitker committed all in from the button for 127,000 total. Silberzweig called the raise, showing for a straight draw while Bitker held for top pair.

From what we could piece together, Fabio D'Agata raised to 29,000 from the cutoff only to have Bobby Corcione shove all in from the big blind for around 275,000. D'Agata had about 260,000 total and called off.
D'Agata:
Corcione:
Table talk revealed that D'Agata had raised Corcione's blind before, and the former indicated that he knew his opponent would get caught with his "hand in the cookie jar."
D'Agata was excited, but was soon silenced when the flop came down to give Corcione the lead with two pair. Neither the turn nor river helped D'Agata, and he was eliminated in 32nd place for $4,438.
The duo continued to have a heated verbal exchange, but eventually the tournament staff quelled it. D'Agata eventually shook Corcione's hand, wished the table luck, and then exited the tournament.
