2025 Spring Super Stack – Event #14: $1,500 Superstack NLH

The 2025 Spring Super Stack Main Event is complete, and Alex Liu put on another dominating performance. Today’s game ended in a heads up deal that saw David Swaim secure $70k, while Alex Liu pocketed $78,609. They agreed to the deal immediately after Swaim sent 3rd place Roman Brar to the rail with pocket aces.

This is the second time Liu has powered his way through a Main Event at Deerfoot. He crushed the Aug 2024 WSOP-C Main Event for his first Circuit ring, and had a similar sunrun in this one. He played his usual A-game, using his big stack to pressure the small ones, but he admitted after the game he ran well too.

In one example, he sent Hoshang Sarwary home with pocket aces just a couple of hands after he took a hug pot off Brar with pocket aces. He also found nut flush over set to take out James Cruickshank, so Liu was hitting the cards he needed when it mattered.

It’s heads up now, and the final two are talking deal again. Roman Brar just hit the rail for 3rd after he hit top pair but ran into aces for David Swaim. He won $39,629 for 3rd place tonight.

Roman Brar is the shirt stack now, with the other two players each getting their share of his chips. Alex Liu took a chunk in a hand that saw Brar limp the button and David Swaim follow suit from the small blind before Liu raise to 250k.

Brar was the only caller, and they checked it through to the river on 9♣9♥K♠J♦10♥. Liu checked again, but raised to 780k when Brar fired 250k.

In the next hand, David Swaim raised to 125k from the button and Brar defended his big blind with a call. Brar check called for 90k on J♦7♠4♥ and they both checked the 4♠5♦ turn and river. Brar showed A♦10♦ but Swaim had that beat with pocket nines.

The final three have decided to play on instead of take the deal that would have seen the two short stacks get second place money while Alex Liu would have taken about $15k less than 1st place money.

The final three players are talking about an ICM chop right now. David Swaim and Roman brar are virtually even, with Swaim on 2.435 million and Brar on 2.55 million. Alex Liu has 7.33 million. I’ll update the situation shortly.

The action is moving quickly now with the King Wang out in 4th place. Wang had deuces against ace-king for David Swaim, and Swaim’s big slick killed the ducks. Alex Liu is still the big leader with about 2/3rds of the chips in play now.

Alex Liu is running hot here at Deerfoot once again as he just sent another player to the rail to close in on 8 million chips. Hoshang Sarwary shoved under the gun and, after asking for a count, Alex Liu called from the small blind. After big blind Roman Brar mucked, Sarwary saw the bad news as Liu had aces again against his ace-eight. No help came on the board, and Liu now has about 3/4 of the chips in play.

Last August, Alex Liu came into the final day of play in the WSOP-C Main Event with fiver players left and half the chips in play. They are down to five here at the Spring Super Stack Main Event and Liu has half the chips in play now.

He just stacked up to just shy of 7 million after a hand against Roman Brar. Liu raised to 100k from the cutoff and Brar called from the button.

Liu fired 100k more on the 10♠K♦3♠ flop and Brar called to the Q♦ turn. They both checked to the K♥ river where Liu fired 210k. Brar called but mucked when Liu showed two red aces.

They are down to 5 left now after Yan-Erick Corderre lost a flip with jacks against ace-queen. There was an ace on the flop and no more help to come for the jacks.

Alex Liu is now up over 5 million chips after he sent James Cruickshank out tonight. Cruickshank was on a set, but Liu had the nut flush to stack up around 5.2 million as Cruickshank collected his things.

David Swaim raised to 80k and got calls from Roman Brar on the button and James Cruickshank in the big blind. It checked to Brar on the Q♦3♥8♣ and he bet 60k. Cruickshank folded, but Swaim called.

They both checked the K♠2♦ turn and river and Swaim showed jacks to take it down. That put Swaim up to about 2.1 million, in second place behind Alex Liu with about 3.2 million in front of him.

James Cruickshank is up to about 1.2 million now, with a chunk of those chips coming on a recent hand against Yan-Erick Codere. He raised to 120k from the cutoff, and Codere called from the button.

The flop was 5♥2♦K♥ and they both checked to the A♦ turn. Cruickshank bet 100k and Codere called. Cruickshank checked dark and the river was the 6♣. Codere checked behind and showed pocket nines. Vruickshank had that beat with pocket jacks.

“Good thing I didn’t go all in before the flop,” Codere said with a smile. “You call?”

“I call,” said Cruickshank as he stacked the chips.

Hoshang Sarwary raised under the gun and ROman Brar called from the big blind to see K♦5♥4♦ on the flop. Brar check-raised from 75k to 200k, and Sarwary called, but then folded when Brar pushed out a stack of blues on the A♣ river.

I arrived at the table as the 8♣K♦6♦ flop was spread and Roman Brar led out for 30k. David Swaim made it 100k and Brar called.

He fired 30k again on the 10♠ turn, and Swaim smooth-called to the 3♣ river. Brar put out another min-bet and Swaim raised to 100k. Brar called quickly but mucked when he saw [invalid notations]AdKc[/pcm] for Swaim.

There are 7 left in the Main Event now. David Anderson just hit the rail in 8th place after he got his money in on a flop of 2♣J♥A♠. David Swaim snapped him off with the flopped set of sevens, and the 3♣9♦ runout didn’t change anything.

Meanwhile, James Cruickshank asked me to tell the world he’s started drinking, and with a Corona beside him, he cautioned the table to “Watch out!” There is another break coming in about 15 minutes, and I’ll grab fresh counts while they are away from the table.

Teo Sanchez picked up his second final table tonight. He 4-card/2-card mix earlier in the series but ended his run in 9th place tonight. I missed the action while getting all the pictures sorted.

Tim Chen was the first player off the final table today. He got into an early race shortly after the FT was set, running his ace-king into the pocket jacks of Alex Liu. The board was clean for the pair and Chen was out in 10th place.

They are at the final table now after Daniel Lefebvre ended his run in 11th place today. I missed the action but he got short after dinner with around 350k.

Hand 1: I arrived at the table with the Q♠A♦7♠ flop already out. Alex Liu and Roman Brar checked it to the river through 5♠7♦ on the runout. When the river came, Liu check-called for 30k, and, with both players on a king with a low kicker, they chopped it with king high.

Hand 2: In the next hand, Roman Brar raised to 50k from the cutoff and he was called by Alex Liu and Hoshang Sarwary in the blinds. They all checked through to the river on 7♣6♠2♦7♥6♦. Liu checked the river before Sarwary bet 75k, enough to take it down.

Hand 3: The third hand folded around and big blind Daniel Lefebvre got a walk.

Hand 4: David Anderson raised the hijack to 60k and ROman Brar called from the big blind. They both checked the K♣4♥7♦ flop and Brar check-folded to 75k on the 2♠ turn.

Hand 5: It was slimped preflop between Roman Brar and David Anderson. Brar check-called for 50k on the flop of 8♠7♠2♥ and they both checked the 4♠ turn Brar checked again on the 7♣ river and called, mucking his hand when Anderson showed K♥7♥ for trip sevens.

Ron Giles was the soft bubble to the final table tonight, hitting the rail in 12th place. “Cowboy Ron” had a good run in this one, and it’s always nice to see one of the nicest players in the local community out for a game.

They are down to 12 left after Tyler Panas hit the cage for 13th place just after they returned from the dinner break.

Roman Brar is the leader with the players out for their dinner break. He is the only player with more than 2 million, playing 2.3 million. James Cruikshank and Alex Liu round out the top three.

They are down to 14 now with 10 minutes to play in Level 21. They’ll head out for their dinner break at the end of this level, and I’ll grab the full stacks at the break.

Place	Player	Prize
14	Julius Roque	$5,152
15	Trevor Argue	$4,756
16	David Howat	$4,557
17	John Scalise	$4,557

John Scalise is down to about 30k after he put in a huge bluff on the river of a steaighty, flushy, Broadway board. The spades came on the river and Scalise shoved all in, putting James Cruikshank to the test for his tournament life.

Cruikshank took a while to call, saying he had the Broadway straight. He finally put in the call, and Scalise mucked his hand face down while Cruikshankl showed ace-jack and took the huge pot.

They are down to 17 remaining, with about 40 minutes to play in Level 21. Sebastian Crema, who was runner-up in the NLH Turbo last night, ended his day today in 18th place. The dinner break will follow this level.

Jerry Li opened early to 32k and David Swaim called from the big blind. Swaim check-called for 26k on the A♦7♣Q♣ flop, and again for 56k on the A♥ turn.

When the river came 2♣ Swaim switched it up and led for 155k. Li snap called, but his pocket sevens were no good against the A♣8♣ flush for Swaim.

That left the start-of-day leader short, and he was at the payout desk after the next hand. The field is now down to the final two tables.

Place	Player	Prize
19	Jerry Li	$4,359
20	Michael Berstein	$4,161

Roman Brar limped the button and Trevor Argue checked his option in the big blind. They both checked to the river of J♠7♦8♣J♦Q♦ where Argue fired out a bet of 20k. Brar put in the reraise to 60k, and Argue quickly mucked his hand.

They are down to 20 now, with just under 45 minutes to play in Level 20. The 45-minute dinner break will follow Level 21 in about 1 hour and 45 minutes.

22	Jim Loudon	$3,963
23	Curtis Singleton	$3,963

The remaining 23 players are on another break, with Level 20 starting in about 10 minutes. Alex Liu looks to be the chip leader right now with 1.237 million in front of him, while Daniel Lefebvre is the other millionaire playing 1.163 million. Johnny Dalphond was the most recent casualty in 24th place for the final payout of $3,765.

It looks like Daniel Lefebvre is the chip leader with about 1.3 million in front of him, while Alex Liu is also playing just over 1 million. There are 10 minutes left in Level 19, with another break scheduled at the end of this level.

They are down to 24 now after Dale Foyle tried a big river bluff, but Daniel Lefebvre sniffed it out. Lefebvre had flopped bottom set and called off the river shove from Foyle for the win.

There are about 40 minutes to play in Level 19 and the field is now down to 25 remaining. They’ll go for another break following this level.

Place	Player	Prize
26	Peter Sawitzki	$3,765
27	Mason St Martin	$3,567
28	Pav Braich	$3,567

The board was already out reading A♠7♥4♣J♥6♠ and Pav Braich was deep in the tank facing an effective all in from Daniel Lefebvre. Lefebvre bet a stack of greens, enough to cover the rest of Braich’s chips, and Braich spent a couple of minutes debating his action.

He finally put in the call, but his ace-eight wasn’t as good as Lefebvre’s ace-ten, and they were down to the final three tables.

Jerry Li started the day as the chip leader, but he dropped a fair bit since the start of the day. He just got his remaining 271k in on the turn of a board reading A♠A♦3♥2♠ and Trevor Argue snap-called him with the big stack. It was ace-eight for Li against ace-six for Argue, and the 8 played when the K♦ completed the board.

Li is now back up into the 600k range while Argue dropped back to about the same now.

There were three quick eliminations once they got into the money, and the field is now on the bubble to the final three tables with 28 players left.

Place	Player	Prize
29	David Ryan	$3,567
30	Saeed Ganji	$3,368
31	Ning Ma	$3,368

They are in the money now after two players hit the rail just before hand-for-hand was about to begin. Thomas Taylor and Dylan Payne both busted on different tables as they were preparing to pause the clock, so there was no bubble play in the Main Event today.

All remaining players are now guaranteed at least $3,368 for their troubles.

They are now two off the money, and the clock will pause for hand-for-hand play after the next elimination. Level 18 has just under 50 minutes to play.

The Day 2 players are about 5 minutes away from the start of Level 18 and out for a break. It looks like Aug 2024 Main Event ring winner Alex Liu is leading the way at the moment with 906k in front of him. Day 1b chip leader Trevor Argue looks to be second with 834k.

They are just 5 off the money spots now, with 36 players left in the game on the final four tables. There are less than 5 minutes to play in Level 17, and they’ll head out for the first break of the day following this level. I’ll have a quick look around to identify some big stacks as they approach the money.

The field is down to 41 remaining now, just 10 players off the money spots. There are about 40 minutes to play in Level 17, with the first break of the day scheduled following this level.

They’ve just broken the first table fo Day 2 with the field now down to 44. There are about 10 minutes remaining in the opening level of play and they are now 13 away from the money spots.

The final day of play is now underway at Deerfoot Inn & Casino. The final 52 players sat down for Day 2 of the Main Event about 10 minutes ago, and the opening level has 50 minutes remaining now.

There has already been one player hit the rail in early action, so they are now 20 eliminations off the money.

It’s Main Event time at the 2025 Spring Super Stack! The Superstack event starts with 40k, the biggest stack in the whole series, and the blinds on Day 1 will be 40 minutes, with a move to 60 minutes for Day 2 action.

Both starting flights are now complete, and Day 2 is set to return with 52 players returning to fight for 31 paid spots. There should have been 53 returning, but Colten Yamagishi bagged twice, so once stack will be removed on Day 2, and he’ll play the bigger one.

Jerry Li is the player with the big stack for Day 2. He bagged 658k on Day 1a while the Day 1b leader, Tevor Argue, brings the #2 stack into Day 2. Tyler Hrman (1b), Saeed Ganji (1a), and Yan-Erick Codere (1b) round out the top five stacks.

Day 2 action kicks off at noon on Sunday, and they’ll play to the winner. See below for the Day 2 stacks sorted by name and seat.
