The second $1 million bonus winner from ClubWPT Gold occurred at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) on Wednesday, and it had many within the poker community making collusion accusations.
Jesse Yaginuma pulled off a wild comeback during heads-up play against James Carroll in Event #53: $1,500 Millionaire Maker. He won the gold bracelet and the $1,255,180 first-place prize. But he also received an extra $1 million from ClubWPT Gold after he'd won a Gold Rush ticket contest from the sweeps coin poker site.
Yaginuma is the second Gold Rush ticket winner already this summer to win a bracelet to earn the $1 million bonus prize.
