Here's what Anderson had to say about his Global Poker Eagle Cup Series victory:

"Global Poker's Eagle Cup series is now finished! I am proud to say I streamed every day but one of the days which resulted in 77 hours streamed, 3 trophies won, GC player of the Series and having some of my best viewership days! I think Global Poker knocked it out of the park this series, they really strive to make poker fun and inclusive for everyone with amazing prizes to be won!"

The leaderboard victory helped Anderson earn some more Golden Poker swag and merch, which he will surely sport at upcoming poker festivals.
