“Stealthmunk” On Camera

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

Matt Haugen got it all in preflop with {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} and just about had his opponent covered. The bad news was that he was up against {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}.

The cards ran out {5-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. The dealer took Haugen’s cards and put them face down on top of the muck pile and was about to push the pot when several players including Justin "Stealthmunk" Schwartz protested that the rivered nut flush of Haugen was the winner.

The cards were retrieved and order was restored as the beaten player stumbled off in shock. One of the players wondered if there are cameras recording the action and mentioned that he’d love to have a recording of the last two hours as Schwartz is renowned for his constant chatter and has obviously been entertaining the table.

Another player said of playing with Schwartz, “I’ve read about you, now I get to meet you. If I’d read more I’d probably be in awe of you.”

“I get that a lot.” Schwartz deadpanned.
