DUBLIN, July 16 /PRNewswire/ -- - Boylepoker.com Sponsored Luke _FullFlush1_ Topped his Tricky Heat to Progress to October's Semi Final of the Poker Million VIII Controversial young British pro Luke _FullFlush1_Shcwartz yesterday beat out John Duthie, Tony G, Bill Edler, Mark Vos, and Mark Denmark to move into the semi finals of the Poker Million VIII in October. Last year the event was won by Boylepoker.com sponsored pro Marty Smyth and Schwartz, wearing the Boylepoker.com 'lucky logo' will now hope to push on and make as big an impact on the live game as he had in his relatively brief online career.

Heads up, Duthie held 360,000 and Schwartz held 240,000 and after about 30 minutes play Duthie found himself all in with a diamond flush on the river only to be beaten by a higher flush.
