PARTYPOKER.COM WORLD OPEN V IS UNDERWAY

MORE TROUBLE FOR LUKE ‘FULLFLUSH’ SCHWARTZ

 

London – 11th October 2009 – The https://www.partypoker.com World Open V is underway! The Matchroom Sport organised event takes place from Sunday 11 October – Thursday 15 October 2009 in London . For the very first time the action takes place in the prestigious Palm Beach Casino in the heart of Mayfair and spectators are welcome to rail. The action starts at 11am every day.

 

The tournament got underway late after Luke ‘FullFlush’ Schwartz arrived and the casino refused him entry. Eventually negotiations meant he could take part in the PartyPoker.com World Open V but at all times he has to be accompanied by an escort from the tournament organisers who is totally responsible for his behaviour.

Hehe, I choose, with some care, my moments to wind you up.

[Pyso]

Don't get me started on Luke Schwartz.

He is the Katie Price of poker. Is that what you mean?

He is the Katie Price of poker. Is that what you mean?

No, Katie Price made most of her money working alone.

[George2Loose]

starting stacks tripled? No more TV crap shoots? Or have the blinds quadrupled?

There is no doubt the kid is an amazing poker player.

There is also no doubt he is an arrogant, annoying, self important little ejit.

He was banned from every casino in England for arguing that he wouldn't take his hat off in a casino to such an extent that he got rude, abusive and threatening.

Then someone (I think Eddie Hearn) gave his word that he would behave more appropriately so he could play the EPT.

How long did that last? 2 days? Before he thought he was so important that he didn't have to pay for a sandwich and again became rude and abusive.

I can only hope when he's 40 he shivers with embarassment when he remembers his current behaviour.

Heat one was won by Luke Schwartz, who secures himself a place at the final table. The runner-up was Christian Schafer, an online qualifier from Germany . The tournament start was held up yesterday after Schwartz was refused entry to the Palm Beach Casino and he was only allowed to step foot in the building after tournament organizers provided him with an escort at all times. Talks are now ongoing to allow the controversial high stakes player back in the building on Thursday for the final but nothing is confirmed as yet. The casino ban is thought to be the result of his recent refusal to pay for a sandwich at EPT London.

A PartyPoker.com spokesman said: “We hope that Luke will be able to take his seat at the final table but we have no guarantees as yet. In retrospect, perhaps Luke should have paid for the egg sandwich at the EPT – imagine if the casino ban costs him the chance of winning the $250,000 first prize? He could end up with serious egg on his face.”
 
The players are raving about the new triple stack structure at the PartyPoker.com World Open V. “This structure is the sickest I have ever played on a single table in front of cameras - it is brilliant,” said Phil Laak.


Tonight sees Mike Sexton, Roland De Wolfe, Jennifer Tilly, Sammy George and Neil Channing take to the felt.

If the casino does ban him for not paying for the sandwich will he be able to be replaced by a sub?
