Team PokerStars Represented Twice
There are two PokerStars' Team Pros that are still fighting their way through this six-handed event. JP Kelly, representing Team UK & Ireland, started the day with an above-average stack and hasn't made a ton of progress yet today. The same is true for Team Online player Jorge Arias, whose stack has been hovering right around 75,000 for the first 90 minutes that the field has been in action.
Kelly is no stranger to WSOP success. At the 2009 WSOP, he took down the $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em event, winning almost $200,000. He followed that win up with a win at the 2009 WSOP-Europe in GBP1,000 No-Limit Hold'em.
Arias has almost a dozen WSOP cashes but has never made a final table. It would be quite the feat for him if he could make his first final table in this event
