Stealthmunk lives

[Dan Druff]

Many thought that Justin Schwartz, aka "Stealthmunk", was dead. Nobody had heard from him in years, and he had a well documented drug problem.

Stealthmunk had a lot of poker talent, and made a very deep run in the Main Event about a decade ago. By that point he was already deep into a bad drug issue, and he vanished from poker shortly thereafter.

Last year I attempted to look up any possible evidence that Stealthmunk had died, but found nothing. I gave up.

Looks like I found nothing because the "munk" is still alive... and apparently attempting to play poker in Las Vegas.

Several people who knew Stealthmunk from the past acknowledged that this was indeed him, including some who saw him wandering around Paris. It is possible that this June 25 arrest was related to a 2017 Caesars ban which I don't believe was ever lifted.

Now, according to a certain Lindsey (yes, THAT Lindsey), Stealthmunk was also just ejected from Encore this morning.

I wonder what's going on here.

Apparently Stealthmunk did not contact any of his past poker friends regarding his return to Vegas. He has been homeless in the past, and might be making a weird attempt to stumble into various properties and play poker again.

Drugs are bad, mmmkay?

I remember seeing a video shot in 2006 by the "Ship It Holla Ballas", regarding some party in an Atlanta area frathouse.

Stealthmunk was there, but he looked and acted incredibly normal. No sign of the drug problems he would eventually develop. The only thing abnormal about him in the video was the fact that two hot girls were attempting to get his attention (maybe having heard about his poker success), and he pretty much ignored them.

I wish I could find that video, but I have no idea how to search for it again, and it's not worth my time to figure it out.

Yeah, the arrest on 6/25 was indeed for trespass.

I got you todd.



At 12 minutes, the gang talks about inviting Stealthmunk to their party, and a drinking bet that will take place.

18 minutes in, Stealthmunk arrives via limo, antics ensue.

Lol stealthmunk, whatever happened to the poker community keeping losers afloat with loans and stakes without getting reimbursed?

Must really be a piece of shit.
