Anderson Makes Razz History with Sixth Bracelet
Calvin Anderson has cemented his place among the elite of mixed-game poker, winning his sixth World Series of Poker bracelet — and doing so in remarkably historic fashion. His latest title is a second Razz championship, a feat that sets him apart in one of the game's most technically demanding disciplines.
Why This Win Matters
Razz — the lowball stud variant where the worst traditional hand wins — rewards a very specific combination of patience, hand-reading, and deep knowledge of exposed cards. Repeat Razz champions at WSOP level are exceptionally rare, making Anderson's second title in the event a milestone worth noting in the broader history of the game.
For context:
- Bracelet count: Anderson now sits at six, placing him in genuinely elite company on the all-time WSOP winners list.
- Specialist pedigree: Back-to-back Razz titles (across different series years) signal a level of mastery in the format that goes well beyond a single deep run.
- Mixed-game credibility: Anderson has long been regarded as one of the sharpest mixed-game minds in the field; this result further validates that reputation.
A Growing Legacy
What makes Anderson's trajectory compelling from a poker-study perspective is how deliberately his bracelet collection has been built — not through one breakout tournament type, but across formats that demand genuine versatility and technical depth. This latest win adds a defining chapter to that story.
