I've been going on a bit of a personal search the past few months for a video that I (and many other people who followed online poker way back when) remember. It involves Luke Schwartz, better known on Full Tilt as "_FullFlush1_", embarrassing himself a little bit in an interview during EPT 2009 grand finals in Monte Carlo. Nothing, like, reprehensible, just being a young braggard with a comically thick English accent. Some moments from the interview became in-jokes on poker forums, particularly his pronunciation of whatever (woteva), him calling his Jacobs & Co. watch a "jakeys", and talking about his yellow apparel. As far as I'm aware, the only upload that was ever created of this video was on the pokernewsdotcom youtube channel, which has since been privated. I've found multiple links on poker-related blogs and news sources that host this video and even the original pokernews dot com link, but once again, these simply host the youtube link, which is in its current state private. I've tried contacting old friends from those poker forums to see if any of them had it on a hard drive to no avail. I've tried contacting pokernews on twitter and thru email. Supposedly they respond within 24 hours. Supposedly. The only screenshots I could find of this interview were this one and this... whatever it is. The most closely related media I could find were one where he explains what "jakeys" means and a separate interview that helped to cement his reputation as a douche. Man, does it bum me out that doing something so simple as privating a youtube video can make something so hard to find.
