There are still two PokerStars Team Pros in this event, and right now it's the Team Online pro -- Jorge Arias -- who is making the most noise. Arias is sitting to the right of Bryan Micon. The two were sitting in the blinds for a heads-up flop that came out 
. Arias led into Micon for 6,100 and Micon called.
