The most controversial figure in high stakes online poker is at it again. Luke “FullFlush” Schwartz, who terrorized high stakes regulars like Phil “OMGClayAiken” Galfond and David “Raptor” Benefield earlier in the year has set his sights on the highest profile and most consistent online winner in recent memory Tom “Durrrr” Dwan.
The 25 year old FullFlush burst onto the high stakes scene early in 2009 and amassed a small fortune in the nosebleed games using a combination of aggressive play and trash talk unlike anything the small high stakes community had seen at that point. He quickly became a polarizing figure amongst the rail. Some observers considered his antics comedic entertainment in an otherwise brutal and bloody arena.
Others saw it as a complete lack of tact and respect especially when competing at that level. Regardless of public opinion, FullFlush managed to pull a significant amount of money away from the tables and
disappeared as quickly as he had originally arrived.
Despite being barred from all casinos in the United Kingdom, FullFlush chose the World Series of Poker Europe to make his reappearance on the scene and issue a tirade on Durrr. In an interview with
pokerlistings.com, FullFlush was quoted as saying “I just can’t stand durrrr. I can’t stand durrrr’s face, durrrr’s voice, and durrrr’s eyes. I can’t stand anything about durrrr. He’s just an arrogant social retard. He’s spastic. There’s not much more to say than that.”
FullFlush’s point of contention stems from his belief that Durrr purposely targets weak high stakes players, such as Cirque du Soleil founder and notable high stakes loser Guy Laliberte, in order to build
his bankroll.
While Durrr has yet to respond, the two are both scheduled to play in the PKR Heads Up Grand Slam event that kicks off in London today. A heads up cash game between Durrrr and FullFlush has yet to be
finalized.
