Calvin Anderson added another chapter to his storied career on Monday, winning the $777 No-Limit Hold’em Lucky 7’s event on the WSOP Online poker site. Playing under the screen name “SethRogan,” he topped a field of 363 entries for $48,914, earning his eighth career bracelet.
The victory makes Anderson just the 12th player in WSOP history to reach eight bracelets, joining names like Daniel Negreanu and Nick Schulman. It also marks his third bracelet in as many months, following two wins during the 2026 summer series.
Anderson’s path to the title included an unusual twist. He had visited Resorts World in Las Vegas on Monday afternoon for a meal and some slot machine play, logging into the online tournament on his phone while gambling on the casino floor.
After building a stack remotely, Anderson drove himself home in a Tesla as the final table approached, switching to his laptop once he arrived. He then took command of the tournament, holding a commanding chip lead by the time heads-up play began.
Key eliminations along the way included Salvatore Dicarlo in ninth place, Benjamin Felson in eighth, and Nick Palma in seventh, the latter falling when his ace-jack failed to catch up to Anderson’s ace-king. Anderson also survived a crucial all-in race against “Joedontknowh” with 30 players remaining.
Facing Joedontknowh heads-up with a nearly 50-to-1 chip advantage, Anderson closed out the win in what amounted to a formality. His runner-up finished for $36,209 after laddering up from a short stack throughout the final table. Anderson’s career live cashes now stand at $8.2 million, with this marking his third online bracelet.
