Benjamin Rolle, better known to the poker community by his online alias ‘bencb,’ took down the WSOP Online Main Event, pocketing $3.9 million and proving once again why he is considered one of the best tournament players around.
Rolle has been a prominent figure in the poker world not only as a player but also as an experienced coach and founder of Raise Your Edge, and, as of recently, he’s also been an ambassador for CoinPoker, the quickest-growing crypto poker site in existence.
Capturing the win in one of the most prestigious online tournaments is a great achievement for any player, but the victory came particularly sweet for ‘bencb’ as he made it to the final table of the same event in 2024 but couldn’t close the deal as he busted in eighth place.
Riding the Lightning to Victory
Rolle came into the 2025 WSOP Online Main Event final table with a chip lead stack, determined to go all the way this time around. This determination, coupled with his years of experience in the most difficult of spots, was enough for Rolle to claim his first WSOP bracelet.
This year’s event attracted 5,961 entries, each paying $5,000 for the privilege of a virtual seat at the table. ‘Bencb’ had a mountain to climb to reach his goal, especially given the fact that the field featured many top players who were equally as hungry to take it down.
This time around, cards fell Rolle’s way, and he was able to build a big stack going into the final table. He had a bit of a rough start, losing his chip lead for a brief moment, but he was able to win a crucial flip a few hands later. From there on, there was no stopping him.
Rolle’s hands held up in all the important spots, which is necessary to win a tournament, but throughout the final table, he showed no fear or hesitation. From the moment cards went in the air, ‘bencb’ was playing for the win, and this determined approach paid off.
The heads-up skirmish lasted only a few hands. Rolle found himself up against Anatoly Zlotnikov, and he had some catching up to do. However, Zlotnikov’s chip lead evaporated quickly when his AJ was no match for Rolle’s AK. After that hand, Anatoly was left with just a few big blinds, and shortly after, it was all over.
‘Bencb’ got his redemption, winning the WSOP Online Main Event, pocketing $3,900,707, and claiming his first bracelet.
Back to the Usual
Some players would take a day or two off to celebrate the massive win, but Benjamin Rolle isn’t one of those. His dedication to the grind can hardly be matched, which is one of the biggest reasons CoinPoker signed him to represent the brand.
It’s just one day from his win, and ‘bencb’ is already back streaming on Twitch as if nothing had happened. Was it just another day at the office for the online crusher, or is his way of celebrating firing another session and having a blast with his followers?
This is a big win for CoinPoker as well. The operator has been building its team of ambassadors and streamers, and having the WSOP Online Main Event winner in their corner is a pretty big deal.
