Mike Jarvela
Jarvela showed 3
3
and Pease turned over K
Q
.
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.
Players are back in their seats. Could this be the level we get to heads-up play?
Chris Tryba — 5,255,000
Ron Pease — 2,330,000
Mike Jarvela — 835,000
The final three players are currently on a 15-minute break.
When they return they will be playing 40,000-80,000 with a 10,000-chip ante.
Chris Tryba opened from the cutoff and action was folded to Frank Paul in the small blind. He shoved for around 650,000 total. Ron Pease folded, and Tryba made the insta-call.
The cards were tabled.
Tryba: A K
Paul K J
The board ran out Q 2 3 5 7, and Tryba took the hand to grow his stack to 5.2 million.
Paul was gone in fourth, after a nice run here at Foxwoods.
Mike Jarvela shoved for 630,000 on the button and Frank Paul went into the tank before finally calling. Ron Pease folded his big blind. The cards were tabled.
Jarvela: A K
Paul: A 10
The board ran out 6 4 2 4 J, and Jarvela had new life.
Paul was down to around 1.2 million after the hand.
With the board reading A102 Frank Paul bet 400,000. Chris Tryba raised to 1.1 million and Paul tanked a few minutes before folding.
Tryba showed 109 and Paul announced what he folded.
“I folded Kings,” Paul said. “I should have put more in on the flop.”
“That’s what I was hopin’,” Tryba said.

Ronnie Pease raised to 100,000 from the cutoff and Chris Tryba called from the button. Frank Paul called from the big blind and they went three-way to a flop of J72. All three checked to see the J on the turn. Paul checked, Pease bet 150,000, Tryba got out of the way and Paul called. The river was the Q and Paul checked again. Pease bet 175,000 and Paul called. Pease showed K7 for two pair and took the pot.
Mike Jarvela was in the small blind when Chris Tryba raised to 135,000 from the button. Jarvela elected to shove all-in for around 560,000 in total. Tryba insta-called.
Jarvela exposed the A J and was ahead of Tryba’s K Q.
The board ran out A-8-5-2-6, offering no sweat after the turn for Jarvela.
Tryba was at around 3.5 million after the hand.
It’s pretty easy to be impressed by Mike Jarvela right now. The 23-year old poker pro came into Day 3 as the shortest stack in play when the tournament was still 13-handed. About seven hours later, Jarvela is still alive and well with only four player remaining.
It appears he has some fans following the live stream and rooting for him.
@CardPlayerMedia goooooo MIKE
