Benjamin Rolle won the $1,500 Millionaire Maker online at GGPoker for $1,366,929 and his second WSOP bracelet.
Benjamin Rolle has claimed his second WSOP bracelet after winning the $1,500 Millionaire Maker in WSOP Online at GGPoker for $1,366,929.
Rolle has repeatedly gone deep in major online tournaments when significant prize money is at stake. In 2004, he finished eighth in the WSOP Online Main Event for $661,848. He returned to win that same event in 2025 for $3,907,707, earning his first bracelet.
His latest victory came in the $1,500 Millionaire Maker, where he added another bracelet and a $1,366,929 payday to his tournament results.
The $1,500 Millionaire Maker attracted 5,518 players to the GGPoker tables, creating a $7,863,150 prize pool.
Day 1 reduced the field to a nine-handed final table, with $4,551,363 still available to be won. The eventual champion was set to receive $1,366,929, along with a WSOP bracelet and a $30,000 Super Pass to the 2026 edition of the WSOP Paradise Super Main Event.
Germany's Marcel Kessler reached the final table with the second-shortest stack but became the first finalist eliminated. His ninth-place finish earned $92,590, making it the only final-table payout below six figures.
Jeremie Zouari followed in eighth place, collecting $129,600. China's Song Li then exited in seventh for $181,425.
Two Ukrainian players were eliminated next. Denys Chufarin finished sixth for $253,995, while Andrii Derzhypilskyi took fifth place and $355,612.
Thailand's Ilsu Lim began the second and final day with 18 big blinds, the smallest stack among the remaining players.
Despite starting at the bottom of the chip counts, Lim climbed to fourth place. The result secured a $497,905 payout, substantially more than the $92,590 ninth-place prize that had been the minimum payout when the final table began.
Three Austrian Players Remain Three-Handed
Three-handed play featured three players displaying the Austrian flag next to their names in the GGPoker lobby.
That group was reduced to two when Adrian Strobel was eliminated. Strobel's third-place finish was worth $697,152.
Rolle and Loris Gauthier then entered heads-up play, with the pair one elimination away from becoming the WSOP champion.
The difference between the first- and second-place payouts was $390,774. Despite the substantial gap, Rolle and Gauthier did not reach a deal, allowing the tournament to continue without an agreement between the finalists.
The final result saw Rolle defeat Gauthier to win the Millionaire Maker and claim his second WSOP gold bracelet.
Rolle, who is the founder of the Raise Your Edge training site, collected $1,366,929 for the victory.
Gauthier finished runner-up and received $976,155, representing a substantial payday for his second-place finish.
The victory gives Rolle his second WSOP Online title after his 2025 WSOP Online Main Event victory. His latest result came after a 5,518-player Millionaire Maker field and delivered another major online tournament win.
