Benjamin Rolle won the $1,500 Millionaire Maker at GGPoker for $1,366,929 and his second WSOP bracelet. The event attracted 5,518 players and created a $7,863,150 prize pool. 

Benjamin Rolle has secured his second WSOP bracelet after winning the $1,500 Millionaire Maker online at GGPoker for $1,366,929.

Rolle has established a strong record in major online tournament events. In 2004, he finished eighth in the WSOP Online Main Event for $661,848. He returned to the same event in 2025 and won it for 
$3,907,707, securing his first bracelet.

His latest victory adds another major WSOP Online title to his record, with the Millionaire Maker providing a $1.37 million payday and bracelet number two.

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 the nine-handed final table, with $4,551,363 still available across the remaining payouts. 

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 and 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 finished seventh for $181,425.

Two Ukrainian players were eliminated next. Denys Chufarin took sixth place for $253,995, while Andrii Derzhypilskyi finished fifth and received $355,612.

Thailand's Ilsu Lim entered 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 progressed to fourth place. The finish secured $497,905, a significant increase from the $92,590 ninth-place payout that had been the minimum available at the final table. Lim's elimination left three players competing for the title.

Three-handed play featured three players displaying the Austrian flag next to their names in the GGPoker lobby.

The field 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 both players one elimination away from becoming a 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.


Rolle ultimately defeated Gauthier to win the Millionaire Maker and claim his second WSOP gold bracelet.

The victory paid Rolle $1,366,929 and added another WSOP Online title to his tournament record following his 2025 WSOP Online Main Event victory. Rolle is also the founder of the Raise Your Edge training site.

Gauthier finished runner-up and earned $976,155, increasing his bankroll by that amount from the tournament.

With the Millionaire Maker victory, Rolle adds another major online WSOP result to a tournament career that includes his eighth-place finish in the 2004 WSOP Online Main Event and his 2025 victory in the same event.
