Table Of Contents
Calvin Anderson joined an exclusive club with his eighth WSOP bracelet Monday, while he played slot machines in Las Vegas.
The winningest Razz player in WSOP history took down the $777 No-Limit Hold'em Lucky 7's event on the WSOP Online poker site for $$48,914, playing under the screen name "SethRogan." He beat 363 entries to become 12th player in history to reach the eight-bracelet mark.
Anderson's Wild Run to an Eighth Braclet
Anderson, who won two bracelets this past summer at the 2026 WSOP, went to Resorts World on Monday afternoon for a nice meal and to play some slot machines. During his time as the Las Vegas Strip resort, he logged into his WSOP Online poker site account to enter the Lucky 7's event.
While playing slots, he began to run up a stack in the online poker tournament. Once he had enough of the slots, he self-drove home in a Tesla so he could continue playing the bracelet event. By the time he got home, the final table was about to start, and that's when he switched over to playing on his laptop.
Final Table Results
| Place | Player | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Calvin Anderson | $48,914 |
| 2 | "Joedontknowh" | $36,209 |
| 3 | "sT1LLonit" | $27,315 |
| 4 | Justin Vaysman | $19,692 |
| 5 | "quadsimodo" | $13,340 |
| 6 | "BAND4BAND" | $9,528 |
| 7 | Nick Palma | $6,987 |
| 8 | Benjamin Felson | $5,717 |
| 9 | Salvatore Dicarlo | $4,446 |
Salvatore Dicarlo (ninth place for $4,446) and Benjamin Felson (eighth place for the $5,717) were the first two sent packing at the final table. The tournament would have gone in a different direction for Anderson had he not won a crucial 100-big blind race with 30 players remaining against "Jodontknowh," who shrugged the rough hand and finished in second place.
Nick Palma, having his best year ever in poker, made another deep run. But he bowed out in seventh place for $6,987 when he couldn't suckout on Anderson's ace-king with ace-jack.
By the time heads-up play began, Anderson had darn near every chip in play. His opponent, "Joedontknowh," trailed nearly 50:1 in chips. It was essentially a formality at that point. But Joedontknowh was essentially freerolling just to get second place for $36,209 because he was short stack the whole time at the final table and just continued to ladder up.
Anderson, who has $8.2 million in live tournament cashes, won his third bracelet in the past three months, and his third career online bracelet.
