The latest tweets from @fullflush1. Luke Schwartz is known for his provocative comments in the poker world, but did he just bite off more than he could chew? Luke blasted notable poker player Phil Galfond, but will he be able to put his.
Luke Schwartz-Orbach (born 15 February 1984) known as Luke Schwartz is a professional poker player, from North London, England.[1]
Poker career
Schwartz's first cash was at the Grosvenor World Masters in 2005 where he won £3,900 for his eighth-place finish in the £1,000 No Limit Hold'em Main Event. Since then, he has only had a few other results, including £10,850 at the 2005 Harbour Lights in Brighton.[2]
Schwartz is best known for his online prowess, especially on Full Tilt Poker before the site was shut down, where he played under the moniker __FullFlush1__. He started off grinding ring games in 2005 but went broke several times before winning the Sunday Million on Poker Stars in 2007. After this win, Schwartz went back to the cash tables.[3] In recent times, he has taken on some of the biggest names in online poker such as Urindanger, durrrr, and Ziigmund, at the biggest stakes with some success.
Luke Schwartz has played in the Party Poker Premier League[4] several times including Party Poker Premier League 4 where he finished second and won $200,000, beaten by David Benyamine.[5]
What has perhaps garnered more attention is his outspoken nature, both on and off the table. He regards himself as the best tournament player around, and even made his claim at the Monte Carlo High Rollers event to the rest of his table, which included Daniel Negreanu and Phil Ivey.[6]
In December 2009, Schwartz was chip leader heading into the Full TiltPoker Million VIII final table, and eventually finished fourth collecting prize money of $150,000.[7] Schwartz had previously won his heat in the Poker Million VIII, overcoming a table of Bill Edler, Mark Vos and Tony G, before coming from behind to defeat John Duthie heads-up.[8] He then navigated a semi-final featuring Annette Obrestad and Tony Bloom to secure his place in the final. In 2012 at World Series of Poker [the poker players championship] Schwartz finished 4th for over $400,000 dollars. According to High Stakes Database, Schwartz’ cash game losses stand at 775,000.
Schwartz is currently a featured blogger on Black Belt Poker. His comments, many of which divide audiences, are often cited on forums such as Two Plus Two.[citation needed]

Partypoker’s latest venture in the world of high stakes entertainment has brought together some of the game’s best for a special home game.
The latest high stakes home game from Partypoker has seen Luke Schwartz entertain and take chips from Sam Trickett and other top pros.
Hosted by English pro Sam Trickett, the live cash game got underway on January 9 and Luke Schwartz made his presence felt early.
The brash Brit recently challenged Phil Galfond and it looks as though his confidence is justified. With the one-day spectacle adding some extra interest to Partypoker’s Millions UK, the game started out as a Pot Limit Omaha affair with blinds at £100/£200 ($130/$260).
Schwartz Causes as Storm
Schwartz stormed to an early lead, taking his stack beyond the £250,000/$327,000 mark, meaning he quickly became the man to beat. While fortunes were on the up for Schwartz, Trickett was struggling.
By the midway point inside Nottingham’s Dusk Till Dawn, Trickett was sitting on 310 big blinds ($81,100). That was enough to save him from being the short stack but it wasn’t enough ammunition to prevent an onslaught from Rob Yong.

The Dusk Till Dawn owner is also a familiar face on the high stakes scene and he used his loose style to good effect. As the session wore on, he entered the game late and started to mix it almost immediately.
As the likes of Leon Tsoukernik and Yair Bitoun came and went, Yong took his stack to $351,500. Also among the top stacks was American Kyle Permut. Another regular on the high stakes scene, Permut was sitting on $183,000 as the action started to flow.
More High Stakes Entertainment from Partypoker
For poker fans, Trickett’s Home Game was another chance to see the game’s finest do their thing. As part of Partypoker’s commitment to producing more streaming content, the cash game was live on Twitch.
As well as a 30-minute delay for security reasons, English pro James Dempsey and a selection of guests commentated on the action.
For those watching, it was Schwartz who stole the show. Serving up his usual mix of aggressive poker and even more aggressive chat, the Londoner kept the masses entertained throughout the night.

Luke Schwartz Poker Winnings
Although the high stakes cash game only lasted one day, it’s not the end of the action inside Dusk Till Dawn. Running since December 29, Millions UK is entering its final stages.
With 530 entries collected in the $5 million main event, Day 2 got underway on January 10. Leading the 170 remaining hopefuls early in the session was Mauricio Ferreira Pais, closely followed by Richard Trigg.
However, with two days to go and the likes of Marvin Rettenmaier and Philipp Gruissem still in the mix, anything can happen in the closing stages of the Partypoker Millions UK main event.
