Luke Schwartz – __FullFlush1__

There is a new high stakes cash player on Full Tilt who is really shaking up the old guard.

__FullFlush1__ has been wreaking havoc in the $100/$200 & $200/$400 short-handed NLH & PLO games, playing a style so aggressive it borders on suicidal and berating some of the internet’s biggest winners of all-time in the chat box en route. While his identity is not 100% confirmed, he is definitely from the UK and several 2 + 2 posters have suggested that it could well be youngster Luke Schwartz. If this is true, Schwartz is one of the UK’s leading lights and is known to play the big $250/$500 games on Betfair Poker under the moniker ‘Deadly007’ (other young UK players such as Andrew Feldman are also rumoured to play on the account).

Either way, the account has made over $500,000 in the first 3 weeks of February alone on Full Tilt, most of it from heads-up NLH games and beating the likes of Ariel ‘DaEvils’ Schneller & David Benefield out of significant sums of money. One hand history played against Benefield demonstrates just how aggressive (and probably tilting) this guy is to play against:

David Benefield (BTN/SB): $37287.00
__FullFlush1__ (BB): $30689.50

Pre Flop: ($300.00)

David Benefield raises to $600
__FullFlush1__ raises to $2200
David Benefield calls $1600

Flop: ($4400.00) (2 players)

__FullFlush1__ bets $3000
David Benefield raises to $7200
__FullFlush1__ requests TIME, __FullFlush1__ raises to $13000 David Benefield folds

Final Pot: $18800.00

__FullFlush1__ shows (King Queen high)

__FullFlush1__ wins $18799.50

Benefield then wrote in his blog: “Lost like 200 to this fullflush guy over the last 2 sessions, so prob not going to play him unless I figure out why he is raping my face off.”

FullFlush has also been teasing two of the web’s greats, Patrik Antonius & Di ‘urindanger’ Dang, into action – something rarely, if ever, seen at the nosebleed tables. Some incredible chat box transcripts are listed below:

To Antonius:

__FullFlush1__: Yo golden trollocks
__FullFlush1__: wanna play 4 tables instead ? _
Patrik Antonius: sry im very tired
__FullFlush1__: ok np boss __
__FullFlush1__: prob not the best idea to play the best in the world when your tired then full stop
Patrik Antonius: i can play two tables
__FullFlush1__: ok
__FullFlush1__: im sitting

And to Dang:

__FullFlush1__: U and trexy are going down bra
Urindanger: didn’t i send you back to lower stakes month ago
__FullFlush1__: rolls to me
__FullFlush1__: lol u got luckc in 2 200k
__FullFlush1__: but i whipped your weak brother
Urindanger: come back when you make another 100k to give me
__FullFlush1__: he played like a small girl
__FullFlush1__: urindanger im gonna be downfall
__FullFlush1__: we can play 4 tablkes 100 200
Urindanger: didn’t you say that to patrik too before he took 500k from u
Urindanger: i don’t have time to play fans at nickel and dime

This is massive table talk from an unknown player and the online community is awash with two theories: either he’s taken some lucky shots and is in way over his head or is a rising star ready to take his rightful place among the nosebleed elite. I sincerely hope for his sake that it is the latter.
