In the thrilling world of poker, Alex Liu is currently the name on everyone's lips. The game reached a whole new level tonight as Liu outplayed James Cruickshank, boosting his chip count past an impressive 5 million.
Cruickshank found himself in a hand, but Liu held the nut flush, which meant packing up close to 5.2 million chips—all of which Cruickshank took home as memories.
This dramatic turn of events occurred during the 2025 Spring Super Stack Main Event at Deerfoot Inn & Casino. Liu, as it turns out, was a dominant force in this tournament, consistently holding the biggest chip stack. His incredible run culminated in him clinching the Main Event in a heads-up deal with David Swaim, pocketing $78,609 as his prize.
Interestingly, Cruickshank wasn't the only player to face Liu's mighty nut flush. Along the way, he sent Hoshang Sarwary packing with pocket aces, and another opponent home with a nut flush over set.
Amid all the excitement, Cruickshank's elimination left him out of the game, but Liu's reign continues as the chip leader, demonstrating his skill and resilience on the poker table.
