Ron Pease Poker Tournament Updates

Updates from Level 6

Feb 07, '15

Shortly before the beginning of Level 6 Marsel Backa was eliminated by Je Wook Oh. With two spades on the flop, Backa was all in with two suited face cards. Oh called with two black tens and the two players waited see the following cards.

“I’ve got two overs and a draw,” Backa said, but he failed to pair his over cards or pick up the spades needed to make a flush as the board ran out.

After a quick trip around the room we noticed Paul Snead in the field. Snead is most easily remembered for the bad beat he took at the hands of Scott Montgomery extremely deep in the 2008 main event – a beat made even worse by the fact he was at a feature table and had the clock called on him, meaning the moment of his 21st place elimination would be seen and re-watched thousands of times. Snead took a break from poker after that, but told PokerNews back in 2013 he would be returning to poker full time within the next few years.

Event 5 winner Teddy Geddes has taken his seat somewhat late in the day in flight 1. Geddes recently topped a field of 216 entrants to win $11,048 in the $250 no-limit hold’em $25,000 guarantee.

Chris Tryba is wondering where Ronnie Pease is at. For those who followed along last year, Pease and Tryba played an incredibly long heads-up match that ended with an even chop for the money with the trophy going to Pease.

Back-to-Back???

Feb 07, '15

This is second time the Card Player Poker Tour has stopped at Foxwoods but we know for sure we will not be seeing a back-to-back champion… technically.

Ronnie Pease, who bested Chris Tryba heads-up for the trophy last year in an even chop for the money, informed us the climate was too agreeable in Mexico where he is currently residing to make the trek to the snowy corners of Connecticut. However, Tryba had no qualms about the icy weather and is back in the field today looking to take home the trophy.

Pease Picks Off a Bluff

Mar 29, '14

After one limper, the player on the button raised to 1,100 and Ron Pease called out of the small blind and the limper folded. The flop was Q94 and Pease check-called 2,000 from the button.

Both players checked the 10 turn and they watched the 2 peel off on the river. Pease checked again and the button fired 3,000 and Pease went into the tank.

“Do you need to double check your cards?” asked Pease.

He thought for a few more seconds before tossing in a call. His opponent showed AJ, good for ace-high and Pease scooped the pot with KQ, good for top pair. He is one of the chip leaders at this point in the day, sitting with over 46,000 in chips.

“Two pair,” said Miller as he tabled J10.

Pease looked frustrated for a second and then mucked his hand. Miller is hovering right around his starting stack of 15,000 while Pease slips to roughly 22,000.

Ronnie Pease Leads Final 13

Feb 16, '14

After 11 long levels there are 13 players remaining and Ronnie Pease leads the way with a huge 1,556,000-chip stack. The remaining players are all guaranteed to make at least $6,678 but everyone is eying the $113,435-first place prize.

The action on Day 2 was high-paces and very interesting as we saw many players run up big stacks, but many others failed to capitalize on their chip positions. Among the players that were knocked out today we saw Anthony Zinno, Vinny Pahuja and Mark Esposito.

Chris Tryba (438,000) is among the players returning tomorrow and he’s looking to add another big victory to his resume after winning a WSOP bracelet back in 2012.

Play will resume tomorrow at 12:00 Noon ET, so make sure to tune back into CardPlayer.com as we bring you all the live updates and a live stream of the action here at Foxwoods!

Chris Tryba Eliminated In 2nd; Ron Pease Wins

Feb 17, '14

The two had been going back and forth for hours when the final monster pot of the night went down. Ron Pease got his stack into the middle with A-10, but unfortunately ran into the A-J of Chris Tryba. However, the board ran out 7-5-2-A-10, giving Pease a very lucky double up to around 6.5 million. Tryba was left with 2 million.

The next hand was the final of the evening. All the money went in with Tryba holding A-5 offsuit, while Pease held the J 9.

The flop fell K Q 7, which was safe for Tryba. The turn brought the Q, which wasn’t what Pease needed. The river, however, was the 9, giving him the pot and the title. It was over, after around 12 hours of final-table play.

Mike Jarvela Eliminated In 3rd Place ($45,760)

Feb 17, '14

On the first hand after the break Mike Jarvela moved all-in for about 1 million. Ronnie Pease called and the hands were tabled.

Jarvela showed 33 and Pease turned over KQ.

Jarvela was ahead but only slightly. Things good good after a flop of 974 and even better on the turn when the 6 opened. But the K on the river ended Jarvela’s tournament as the third place finisher for $45,760.

Considering Jarvela had the short stack when play resumed nine and a half hours ago, his run was quite impressive.

On the first hand after the break Mike Jarvela moved all-in for about 1 million. Ronnie Pease called and the hands were tabled.

Jarvela showed 33 and Pease turned over KQ.

Jarvela was ahead but only slightly. Things good good after a flop of 974 and even better on the turn when the 6 opened. But the K on the river ended Jarvela’s tournament as the third place finisher for $45,760.

Considering Jarvela had the short stack when play resumed nine and a half hours ago, his run was quite impressive.

Ronnie Pease Leads Final 13

Feb 16, '14

After 11 long levels there are 13 players remaining and Ronnie Pease leads the way with a huge 1,556,000-chip stack. The remaining players are all guaranteed to make at least $6,678 but everyone is eying the $113,435-first place prize.

The action on Day 2 was high-paces and very interesting as we saw many players run up big stacks, but many others failed to capitalize on their chip positions. Among the players that were knocked out today we saw Anthony Zinno, Vinny Pahuja and Mark Esposito.

Chris Tryba (438,000) is among the players returning tomorrow and he’s looking to add another big victory to his resume after winning a WSOP bracelet back in 2012.

Play will resume tomorrow at 12:00 Noon ET, so make sure to tune back into CardPlayer.com as we bring you all the live updates and a live stream of the action here at Foxwoods!

Chris Tryba Eliminated In 2nd; Ron Pease Wins

Feb 17, '14

The two had been going back and forth for hours when the final monster pot of the night went down. Ron Pease got his stack into the middle with A-10, but unfortunately ran into the A-J of Chris Tryba. However, the board ran out 7-5-2-A-10, giving Pease a very lucky double up to around 6.5 million. Tryba was left with 2 million.

The next hand was the final of the evening. All the money went in with Tryba holding A-5 offsuit, while Pease held the J 9.

The flop fell K Q 7, which was safe for Tryba. The turn brought the Q, which wasn’t what Pease needed. The river, however, was the 9, giving him the pot and the title. It was over, after around 12 hours of final-table play.
