With over 50,000 in the pot, Luke Schwartz had checked the river of a 
board across to Adria Balaguer. The latter threw out a bet of 10,000 and Schwartz tanked for a minute or two before grudgingly throwing in the call.
Balaguer showed and Schwartz mucked showing the .
As Balaguer raked in the pot, Schwartz, not always the most diplomatic of people, snapped.
"You're the luckiest f**king fish in the world...You have zero table presence...Even my sister is harder than you...I bet you don't even make the money, I'll bet you your net worth...You're just a shy little Spanish guy...There's never been a good Spanish player... You only had two outs...I've seen 15 year-old girls with more table presence..."
That was just a selection of Schwartz' rant, clearly irked by an apparent float that Balaguer had made on the flop before the Spaniard caught a pair on the turn. Nevertheless, it's the latter who won the pot and is comfortably over the 100,000 mark while Schwartz is - let's face it - not best pleased.
