A total of 290 entries took to the felt in the $1,650 PCA National at the gorgeous Atlantis Resort in Paradise Island, Bahamas, but after two days of play, just eight remain in contention for the title and top prize of $84,600. Leading the way is Alexander Ziskin (914,000), and nipping at his heels is friend of PokerStars and acclaimed journalist Maria Konnikova (883,000). Konnikova is in search of her first live title after collecting a handful of runner-up finishes over the last year.

The top stacks are joined by the likes of accomplished Dutch chess player Loek van Wely (743,000), "Triple Crown" winner Harrison Gimbel (674,000), and online legend Chris Moorman, who is presently the short stack with 379,000.

Day 3 play begins at noon local time and will continue until a champion is crowned. The seat draw is below:
