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.

On the Sweeps Coins side of things, meanwhile, some of the early winners include Rattlesnake 01-L: NLHE SC 13,000 Guaranteed champion "Ohtani" (SC 2,678.01) and Rattlesnake 01-H: NLHE SC 40,000 Guaranteed winner "TeamDoogie" (SC 7,736.05).

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.

"CardTzar" & "Pyrospode" Win Lost Sock Memorial Tournaments

An earlier highlight of the first few days of the Rattlesnake Open were the Lost Sock Memorial Tournaments, which commemorate all those socks that went have gone missing from the dryer.
