Phil Ivey and Luke "__FullFlush1__" Schwartz got to a confrontation yesterday at the WPT London. All started after Schwartz had won a big pot against Erik Seidel.
Below you can see how the conversation went between Ivey and Scwartz:
"An odd situation saw a huge pot develop between Erik Seidel and Luke Schwartz – two of the bigger stacks at the table.
We joined the action on the river, where Schwartz’ stack was all in the middle, called by Seidel – but his pocket tens were looking pretty impregnable on the T-9-3-8-8 board and Seidel just mucked his hand.
With Seidel forced to hand over the bulk of his stack to the rampaging young Englishmen, Schwartz couldn’t help but ask, “What did you have” as he swept up the miserable-looking Seidel’s stack.
Ivey laughed and shook his hand, leading Schwartz to go on the attack.
“What are you laughing at??” he said.
“You’ve just won a huge pot off the guy and you’re asking him what he has,” Ivey responded.
“What does he care, he’s a multi-millionaire!” exclaimed Schwartz.
“That’s not the point, you don’t do that” said Ivey.
“I just wanted to find out how big a cooler it was. It’s nothing to do with you anyway,” fired back Schwartz.
“Well you asked me what I was laughing at…so I told you,” Ivey said, unfazed by the brazen Schwartz’ approach."
Later Schwartz was also the one, who busted Ivey out from the tournament:
"Phil Ivey was crippled by Safina in that hand with queens and fired his last 5.5k over the top of a Kevin O’Leary raise to 5.2k, meaning Schwartz also made the call when it folded round to his big blind.
The flop fell 
and Schwartz checked in the dark, leading the giraffe-wielding Kevin O’Leary to also check behind.
Come the 
on the turn though, Schwartz bet out 10k and O’Leary folded.
“Ivey’s out, nut flush” said Schwartz with a note of graceless triumph, even before he’d turned over his cards – the 
.
“Ok,” said Ivey, striding out of the casino a beaten man for once.
See you at the WSOPE, Phil."
There are still 38 players left at WPT London trying to win the £273,783 first prize, and __FullFlush1__ is one of the remaining players.
