2010 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion, fellow November Niner and friend of chip leader Matt Jarvis, Jonathan Duhamel has just showed up to rail his countryman. Duhamel is sporting a Vancouver Canucks jersey with the name "Jarvis" on the back. We've seen Jarvis wear a counter jersey -- Montreal Canadiens jersey with "Duhamel" on the back -- during the WSOP.
