Luke “Full Flush” Schwartz is one of the most polarising and entertaining characters in British poker — a north London professional born on 15 February 1984 who made his name as a nosebleed-stakes online cash game grinder before winning his first WSOP bracelet in 2019 in the $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship. With over $2 million in live earnings across 51 cashes and an online cash game history that once included million-dollar winning streaks against the world’s best, Schwartz is a genuine poker savant wrapped in an unapologetically abrasive personality.
Career Earnings & Biggest Results
Total live earnings stand at over $2,008,000 across 51 cashes, per The Hendon Mob. His career-best live cash is $406,736 for fourth at the 2012 $50,000 WSOP Poker Players Championship.

Biography & Poker Background
Schwartz grew up in north London and started playing poker in 2005. He went broke several times before winning the PokerStars Sunday Million in 2007, which gave him the bankroll to re-enter cash games properly. By 2008–09 he was dominating the European online high-stakes sites, posting winning runs of $1.5 million on Full Tilt and another $1.5 million on iPoker and Betfair in quick succession — at a time when those figures meant he was playing against and beating some of the world’s very best.
His nickname “Full Flush” and online alias “__FullFlush1__” became known across the poker world. His combative chat-box style — antagonising opponents deliberately for reads rather than genuine hostility, he claimed — made him one of the most recognisable presences in online poker’s high-stakes era. He was a Black Belt Poker featured blogger and a personality that divided the community, with admirers and detractors equally passionate.
His live game, somewhat unconventional for a career cash player, produced a fourth at the $50,000 WSOP Poker Players Championship in 2012 for $406,736 — his best live result until the bracelet. That bracelet arrived in 2019, after a six-year gap from his last WSOP cash, in the $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw — a game that suits his mixed-game expertise perfectly. He navigated an extraordinary five-hour three-handed battle before closing it out heads-up.
Play Style & Strategy
Schwartz is primarily a cash game specialist whose understanding of mixed games — particularly draw and lowball variants — is at a level few UK players can match. He applies GTO-influenced thinking through an aggressive, combative lens, and is particularly feared in heads-up and three-handed spots where his psychological edge is sharpest. His 2019 bracelet win required both technical precision and mental resilience that he himself credited to personal growth.
