Level 13 - Blinds 1,000-2,000 (300 ante)

11:44am: 220 players return for Day 2
If you happened to be near the Predators Lagoon around eight this morning here at the Atlantis resort in sunny Nassau, you had a chance to witness feeding time. It's quite a scene.
One of the many friendly staff here explained what was happening as he tossed buckets of chum to the barracudas, sawfish, and eventually the hammerhead sharks who all circled wildly around him below the water's surface. Meanwhile above the surface the birds were likewise whipping about, with a couple actually managing to sneak in for a spare shrimp out of a bucket when the fellow wasn't looking.
The scene reminded us a little of what we saw here yesterday at the LAPT9 Bahamas Main Event, where by the time late registration closed there had been an incredible 851 entries (607 unique players, with 244 re-entries), well exceeding the 736-entry field from last year's inaugural version of LAPT Bahamas.
It was kind of a feeding frenzy, you might say.
Today 220 players return from that field, all of whom will be circling about the $1,650,940 prize pool of which the top 127 of them will get to take bites. A minnow-cash is $3,460, while the biggest chunk of $308,220 is scheduled to be gobbled up by the winner.
Right now Tyler Hurman is dominating the remaining player pool with a leading stack of 261,300, with Ismael Bojang his nearest challenger with 205,300 and Team PokerStars Pro Andre Akkari also wading close with 200,100. Chris Moorman, Daniel Weinman, Kevin Eyster, Danny Noseworthy, and Mukul Pahuja are also part of the school of players who'll be splashing with big stacks to start today.

Play gets going in about 15 minutes at 12 noon ET. They'll be playing 50-minute levels again today (switching to hour-long levels when they reach a final table. The plan calls for them to try to get down to that eight-handed final table tonight, with a dinner break coming after today's eighth level (Level 20).
Keep circling this space yourself as we'll be serving up live updates throughout the day to satisfy your poker appetite.
