Nick Petrangelo began Day 2 as the chip leader of the $25,000 High Roller at the PokerStars Championship Bahamas, and he finished there as well as the field narrowed from about 80 players to just nine. Those nine have drawn seats for the final table, with Petrangelo piling 1,960,000 into his bag. He'll have to contend with arguably the two hottest players in the tropical Atlantis Resort at the moment.
Byron Kaverman, who finished fifth in the $100,000 Super High Roller and third in the $50,000 Single-Day High Roller for about $450,000 apiece, is third in chips with 1,233,000 and will be seated to Petrangelo's left.
