Calvin Anderson Leads $10K Razz Championship Final Table With 40 Career WSOP Final Tables on His Résumé

Calvin Anderson has five WSOP bracelets, 40 career WSOP final tables, and $6.5 million in lifetime tournament earnings — and he's still adding to the collection.

Anderson sits atop the chip counts heading into the final stages of Event #48 at the 2026 World Series of Poker, the $10,000 Razz Championship. His stack: 1,885,000. Eight players remain. A sixth bracelet is three eliminations and a headsup match away.

The Résumé That Earned This Seat

Forty WSOP final tables is a staggering number. For context, most players who consider themselves serious mixed-game grinders would be thrilled with four. Anderson has ten times that — spread across the full alphabet soup of formats that populate the left side of the WSOP schedule every summer.

Forty WSOP final tables is a staggering number — most serious mixed-game grinders would be thrilled with four.

His $6,508,328 in lifetime earnings and five gold bracelets put him in rare company among players whose résumés lean heavily toward non-hold'em events. Anderson's country of residence is listed as Mexico, but his home turf has always been the mixed-game section at the Horseshoe and Paris — the corner of the WSOP where stud, draw, and lowball specialists quietly build Hall of Fame cases while the hold'em world isn't watching.

The Field He's Facing

The $10K Razz Championship started as one of the WSOP's marquee limit events and the final table reflects the buy-in's weight. But Anderson's nearest competitors don't carry anything close to his credentials.

Second in chips is Tobias Leknes of Norway, sitting on 1,025,000 — a healthy stack, but Leknes has just $16,262 in lifetime recorded earnings and zero bracelets. Third is Shane Littlefield at 980,000, a U.S. player with no recorded lifetime earnings figure in the WSOP database.

Todd Dakake rounds out the named stacks at 705,000 with $128,273 in career earnings and three lifetime final tables. Ray Fishman ($237,530 lifetime) was eliminated in tenth place, just off the final table bubble.

Anderson's edge isn't just chips. It's reps. When you've played 40 WSOP final tables, the tenth-level Razz bring-in structure isn't new territory. The pay jumps aren't new territory. The pressure of a $10K Championship isn't new territory. For at least a few of his opponents, all of it is.

What a Sixth Bracelet Would Mean

Five bracelets already places Anderson among a small group of active players. A sixth in a $10K Championship — the format's most prestigious buy-in tier — would be a significant line on an already deep résumé.

It would also underscore something the mixed-game community has known for years: Anderson isn't just good at Razz, or stud, or 2-7 triple draw. He's good at all of the games that most hold'em players can't even spell. Forty final tables across the WSOP's mixed-game schedule isn't a specialty. It's a body of work.

The chip lead gives him room to maneuver. The experience gives him a roadmap. Whether it converts to bracelet number six depends on what happens across the next few levels — but Calvin Anderson has been in this exact position more times than almost anyone alive.

Eight players. 1,885,000 chips. And a career that says he knows exactly what to do with them.
