Banned WSOP Milly Maker Winners Seated Together it EPT Main Event
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Two poker players who were banned from the World Series of Poker (WSOP) for collusion during the Millionaire Maker event sat side-by-side on Monday in the PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Barcelona Main Event.
Jesse Yaginuma and James Carroll made national headlines in June for chip dumping during heads-up play in Event #53: $1,500 Millionaire Maker, as the former stood to receive a $1 million bonus from ClubWPT Gold if he were to win the bracelet.
Yaginuma would go on to win the tournament, but the WSOP determined that chip dumping occurred and refused to award the gold bracelet. Both players were subsequently banned from the series. They are back in action, this time in Spain.
