Benjamin Rolle shipped $1,500 Millionaire Maker in WSOP Online 2026 on GGPoker for a seven figure payday and his second WSOP bracelet.
Benjamin Rolle nailed $1,500 Millionaire Maker in WSOP Online 2026 on GGPoker for $1,366,929. The tournament attracted 5,518 players and created a $7,863,150 prize pool.
Benjamin Rolle added another major title to his online poker résumé by winning the $1,500 Millionaire Maker on GGPoker for $1,366,929 and his second WSOP gold bracelet.
Rolle has repeatedly delivered deep runs in major online tournaments when the stakes are highest. In 2004, he finished eighth in the WSOP Online Main Event for $661,848. He returned to win that same event in 2025, earning $3,907,707 and his first bracelet.
His latest victory came in a $1,500 Millionaire Maker field of 5,518 players, 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 winner was set to receive $1,366,929, along with a WSOP bracelet and a $30,000 Super Pass for the 2026 edition of the WSOP Paradise Super Main Event.
Germany's Marcel Kessler reached the final table with the second-shortest stack but was the first player 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.
The next two eliminations came from Ukraine. Denys Chufarin took sixth place for $253,995, while Andrii Derzhypilskyi finished fifth and earned $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 the payout ladder and ultimately secured fourth place. The result delivered $497,905, significantly more than the $92,590 they would have received for ninth place.
Three-handed play then featured three players displaying the Austrian flag next to their names in the GGPoker lobby.
Adrian Strobel was the next player eliminated, finishing in third place for $697,152 and leaving Rolle and Loris Gauthier to contest the title heads-up.
Rolle Grabs Bracelet #2
Rolle and Gauthier entered heads-up play knowing the next elimination would determine the WSOP champion.
The difference between the first- and second-place payouts was $390,774. Despite the substantial gap, no deal was reached, and the tournament continued without an agreement between the finalists.
When the tournament concluded, Rolle had secured the title, defeating Gauthier to claim his second WSOP Online bracelet on GGPoker.
The victory earned Rolle $1,366,929. It also marked his second gold bracelet after his WSOP Online Main Event victory in 2025.
Gauthier finished runner-up and earned $976,155, adding a substantial payout to his bankroll for his performance in the Millionaire Maker.
