Matt Jarvis gets his bracelet

Just a quick shout out to Matt Jarvis for taking down Event #40 at the WSOP- $5000 NL Six-Max. Most people will remember Matt as one of the November Niners from the 2010 WSOP Main Event, who eventually finished 8th, unable to capture the title.

I think one of the more difficult things to do in poker is to defend why you deserved to be a member of the November Nine. November Niners are typically under a microscope in the poker world to see what they can do next. With tournament poker, it's tough to navigate through the variance to find yourself back at a final table. And when you do, you've got to have the self-inflicted pressure of wanting to show the poker community you are worthy of respect.

Matt's bracelet here at the the 2011 WSOP, along with the $800k + he shipped, should keep the haters off his back.

Congrats Matt!
