From the WPT London, Ivey and Shwartz are at the same table, both pretty deep stacked.
They were in a hand with Seidel, board was 10-9-3-8-8, shwartz had 10's full when the following took place.
_________________________________
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.
This dude seems to simply have a problem with absolutely everyone, no class or respect for the game and the greats that made poker living a possibility for him.
