Jesse Yaginuma
Jesse Yaginuma

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.

Blaz Zerjav was the bring-in, David Lin completed, and Zerjav called. Lin checked fourth street and called a bet from Zerjav. On fifth street, Lin was all in for his final 175,000 in chips and the cards went on their backs.

A "whoa" from the table followed when Lin made kings up on sixth street, while Zerjav caught a third pair. The Slovenian opened up his river card first, revealing an eight to make a full house to an even louder "whoa" from the table.

Lin needed one of the remaining kings if he was to survive but caught the nine instead to finish in seventh place.
