When Alan Goehring topped the WPT World Championship back in 2003 it was a poker dream come true. Not only did he outlast a final table that featured some all-time poker legends including Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey, and Ted Forrest but he made poker history by officially becoming the first-ever million-dollar winner on the World Poker Tour .
Twenty-two years later making millionaires, is part of the World Poker Tour DNA. Life-changing seven-figure sums have been won on the tour by players both talented and lucky enough to get to the end on the biggest stages of the WPT. And this December, at the WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas, you’ll be able to add even more in both the $10,400 WPT World Championship and the $1,100 WPT Prime Championship.
But there’s one more soon-to-be millionaire that will be awarded at the Wynn and this one will be different from all the rest. This player won’t have to put a single dollar of their own on the line, courtesy of the ClubWPT Gold $5M Invitational Freeroll and its $1,000,000 first-place prize.

Whoever wins this first-of-its-kind freeroll will walk in the footsteps of giants and join some of the biggest names in the game as a WPT-minted millionaire. On the Main Tour alone, 135 different players have banked a million-dollar score and nine players have been lucky enough to do it twice. Alan Goehring was one of them, as well as the likes of Daniel Negreanu, Carlos Mortensen, Michael Mizrachi, Chino Rheem, Tuan Le, Alex Foxen, Chris Moorman, and Jonathan Little.
The most recent class of millionaires was just last year when Daniel Sepiol won $5,678,000 at the 2023 WPT World Championship – the single biggest WPT Main Tour payout in history. But it should be noted that everyone at that incredible final table, including Georgios Sotiropoulos, Andrew Lichetnber, Chris Moorman, Ben Heath, and Artur Martirosyan were all also awarded more than a million for their efforts.
Sepiol’s payday was a record for the Main Tour, but high roller savant Mikita Badziakouski is in the WPT record books for the largest payday of all time, walking with just over $7.1 million in last year’s WPT Big One for One Drop. Speaking of high rollers, WPT Alpha8 has done its fair share of minting millionaires including two-time winner Philipp Gruissem who booked a win in 2013 at WPT Alpha8 in London for $1.3 million and one month later rattled off another victory at WPT Alpha8 for another million-dollar score.
Whoever wins the ClubWPT Gold freeroll will join another club as well, joining Mortensen, Freddy Deeb, Dennis Blieden, Griffin Paul, and Brandon Cantu as the sixth player to win exactly $1 million.
If the right kind of luck is on your side, not only could you join the WPT Millionaire’s Club but also earn the distinction as the winner of the largest freeroll in poker history.
Another poker dream come true.
