The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Millionaire Maker champion will collect the $1 million bonus check from ClubWPT Gold regardless of the WSOP's ruling on the alleged chip-dumping scandal, PokerNews confirmed.
Jesse Yaginuma overcame a 9-1 chip deficit to James Carroll during heads-up play in the $1,500 buy-in tournament to win the $1,255,180 first-place prize, a payout that is currently in limbo due to an open investigation into the matter. Carroll's $1,012,320 second-place cash also remains uncertain.
