A little over 30 players are left at the World Series of Poker Circuit Regional Championship - Atlantic City. A disappointing 136 players signed up for the event. The proximity to Christmas probably explains why the event had a low turnout.

We're already down to 30-some players remaining late into Day 2 and one of the players currently atop the top 15 is PTPR Tournament Player of the Year points leader Sorel Mizzi. This could be Mizzi's chance to officially secure the title.

Other notables still alive include: Chris Bell, Eugene Katchalov, Matt Waxman, Victor Ramdin, Dan djk123 Kelly, Christian Harder, Brett Richey and Andy Frankenberger.

Day 1 chip leader Vanessa Selbst (pictured, who currently sits 5th on the PTPR charts) suffered a shocking elimination mid-way through Day 2.
