The Rattlesnake Open VI on Global Poker got underway earlier this week and has already had plenty of big winners.
The series is one of the biggest on the social poker site’s calendar with 109 events in each of Global Poker’s in-game currencies—Gold Coins (GC) events and Sweeps Coins (SC). In total, these events have combined guarantees of GC 896,500,000 and SC 1,943,000.
Some of the winners so far in the Gold Coin events include “CarsonH”, who took down the GC 20,000,000 guaranteed Rattlesnake 01-H: NLHE for GC 4,637,790, as well as none other than Team PokerNews streamer Kyle “KAA17” Anderson, who got through a field of 320 runners in the GC 9,000,000 guaranteed Rattlesnake 01-M: NLHE to win GC 1,837,440.

Two Deep Runs for Anderson
Anderson had plenty of run-good on May 8 as he made deep runs in two events after finishing sixth in an event the night before.
“1/27 and a 3/52 in two Rattlesnake title hunts,” Anderson tweeted as he made consecutive deep runs, “were looking to ship both!!!”
The Team PokerNews streamer locked up the victory in Rattlesnake 01-M: NLHE on camera as he defeated “1luckyirish1” to win the Rattlesnake trophy and GC 1,837,440.
After that, “GAM8L3R777” got through a field of 299 players in the GC 2,500,000 guaranteed Rattlesnake 01-L: NLHE to win GC 577,070, while “Tebeezy” emerged victorious in the 9,000,000 guaranteed Rattlesnake 02-M: PLO to win GC 2,025,985.
