Recently it was reported that Luke Schwarz was banned from Victoria casinos after refusing to take his hat off. You know, because it’s so important to wear a hat during poker play.
Well, apparently his friend Eddie Hearn managed to get that ban lifted, and therefore Schwarz was able to compete in the ongoing EPT London event. Well, he couldn’t even do that without screwing it up.After Day 2, Schwarz busted out of the £5,000 buy-in tournament and ordered a sandwich from the casino. This sandwich, bear in mind, probably costs no more than £3. When the casino asked for payment, the online pro threw what can only be described as a hissy fit, refusing to pay on the grounds that he was “a VIP and should be treated as one.”Well, he’s not. Security came over, escorted him out and he was banned from the casino. Again.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Exclusive Bluff Sign-Up Bonus of the Week!200% sign-up bonus up to $600 with William Hill - the biggest sign-up bonus offer on the web for William Hill (and it's a whole 100% more than Pokernews.com!)
