2010 November Nine member Matt Jarvis visits us to discuss life after the World Series of Poker Main Event and how things have changed for this talented poker player. Jarvis had some bad luck at the final table and ended up finishing in 8th place for just over $1 million.

In this interview, Jarvis discusses life after the November Nine. When asked (jokingly) if he’ll be wearing a new hat that has a bullseye on it, Jarvis said, “Ha, kind of! It seems like in tournaments now there are a few guys that are looking to 4bet or 5bet me pretty light, but it makes it more fun for me so I like it.”

Jarvis was asked to talk about how things might have calmed down after the hoopla of the Main Event. Jarvis responded, “Ya things have calmed down a little bit. I’ve been traveling all this year so far and it’s been Bahamas, Australia, Boston, New York … I think I’ve been back for probably five days total this year.”

Jarvis, who hails form British Columbia, is an avid snowboarder. Unfortunately, with all the poker traveling, he has yet to hit the slopes. “I haven’t snowboarded yet, Im right by Whistler but I haven’t been home so in April I’ll find some time to do that.”

Another passion of Jarvis is his love of his hometown Vancouver Canucks of the NHL, who are having an outstanding season and are picked by many to finally win their first Stanley Cup. When asked to comment on their chances, Jarvis said, “I think (Roberto Luongo) is going to pull through this year and he’s worked on his game. I actually had a pretty big prop bet on the Montreal Habs vs Vancouver Canucks game I went to on Tuesday and they didn’t pull through so I lost some money to my boy Pascal.”
