Overview
- Benjamin Rolle, who won the event on September 1, outlasted the field to claim $1,366,929 and his second World Series of Poker bracelet.
- The $1,500 Millionaire Maker drew 5,518 entries and created a $7,863,150 prize pool, well above the event’s $5 million guarantee.
- Rolle arrived at the nine-handed final table with a dominant chip lead of about 127 big blinds and maintained control through much of the final day.
- The heads-up duel with Austria’s “OilMoneyy” featured three pivotal momentum swings, including a runout that gave Rolle quads and a later double that he used to retake the lead.
- Along with the bracelet and prize money, Rolle received a $30,000 Super Pass to the WSOP Paradise Super Main Event and now sits as a clear frontrunner in the remaining online series events.
