Hamish Crawshaw
Manawatu, New Zealand, New Zealand
Hamish Crawshaw, from the Manawatu, is fifth on New Zealand's all-time money list and the most prolific of the country's leading players, with 89 live cashes and more than 1,500 recorded online results.
His biggest live score is $241,216 for winning the main event at The Star Sydney Champs in August 2019, narrowly ahead of the $240,062 he took for second in the A$19,000 Super High Roller at the WPT Australia Championship in September 2024. Two days earlier at that same festival he had won the Outback Survivor Bounty. Other titles include the WPT Vietnam main event in Ho Chi Minh in September 2019 for about $163,922, a WPT Cambodia high roller turbo in 2019, both the APT Taiwan main event and its high roller in March 2020, and an Aussie Millions shot clock turbo in January 2020.
Australia is effectively his home circuit - he finished seventh in the 2019 Aussie Millions main event for roughly $173,925 and third in the JackStar Super High Roller at the 2025 APL Million for about $91,595 - but he plays the New Zealand calendar too, with a main event win at the Auckland Festival of Poker in November 2018 and a high stakes title at the 2019 Wellington Poker Championships. He is 2,054th on the global all-time money list.
