The 2025 WSOP collusion 'scandal' and investigation, explained
The World Series of Poker has had its occasional controversies over the years with some wild moments that made headlines. This time? A 2025 WSOP event might be a scandal. Here's what we know: Their $1,500 Millionaire Maker event was down to two players, with James Carroll up on Jesse Yaginuma. But it was Yaginuma who ended up with the bracelet and a cool $1.26 million. Advertisement That's not the controversy. Here's what could be that's led to an investigation, per ESPN: "Many of the hands won by Yaginuma came in the form of raises or reraises that were continually not contested by Carroll. Viewers of the event's livestream, including a number of professional poker players, began to speculate that Carroll was chip dumping to Yaginuma -- intentionally losing hands to build up his opponent's stack -- so that the two could split some portion of the prize money." Is that collusion? Let's dive in further: What are the WSOP rules about collusion? Per the Las Vegas Review-Journal: WSOP rule 40b states: 'Collusion is defined as any agreement between or among two (2) or more Participants to engage in illegal or unethical acts against other Participants. Collusion includes, but is not limited to, acts such as: chip dumping; soft play; sharing card information with another Participant; sending or receiving signals from or to another Participant; the use of electronic communication with the intent to facilitate collusion; and any other act that Host Properties deem inappropriate.' What did WSOP say about the investigation? So the prize money and bracelet haven't been given out yet. Why would the two players collude in a WSOP event? There's some speculation over a prize from ClubWPT Gold: a player could win an additional $1 million if they won a WSOP event and a "ticket" from a poker summer event. Yaginuma had one of those tickets, so maybe Carroll was trying to help him out? What did the poker players say about the collusion allegations? Per Yaginuma told us there was no heads-up deal in his post-win interview, though the two did meet. "No, not really. We talked for a little bit about poker, but yeah, that was about it."

A man joked about a mayor's legal trouble. Then, a subpoena arrived.
When a 15-year-old boy disappeared in Riverview, Missouri, last month, James Carroll posted a photo of the boy in the city's Nextdoor group with a joke: 'Someone check Riverview's mayor's basement!' Carroll said his online comment in early April was an attempt to alert the city's residents to a past lawsuit accusing Mayor Michael Cornell of luring a man from Texas with a promise of a job only to fire him for rejecting Cornell's sexual advances.

Man makes ‘online joke' about Riverview mayor – Now, he's fighting a court order
RIVERVIEW, Mo. – A dispute over an 'online joke' has escalated into a free speech controversy involving an Illinois man and the mayor of Riverview, Missouri. The City of Riverview recently issued a subpoena over the joke, and now the man behind it is fighting back. On Tuesday, the Institute for Justice, a national civil liberties law firm, sent a letter to Riverview city officials, calling on them to retract a subpoena issued against James Carroll. Carroll, a current resident of Collinsville, Illinois, formerly lived near Riverview in north St. Louis County and continues to follow updates on the community. 'Devil in the Ozarks' escapes north Arkansas prison In April, according to the Institute for Justice, Carroll posted a joke on neighborhood-based website Nextdoor that poked fun at Mayor Michael Cornell in response to recent news articles. While the law firm did not disclose the nature or exact content of the joke, it says a subpoena arrived just days later. The subpoena orders Carroll to appear at a Riverview meeting and testify on several allegations, including allegations that he cyberbullied Riverview residents, threatened a city official, and defamed someone's character. The Institute for Justice claims this move violates Carroll's First Amendment Rights, contending that joking about officials is protected by free speech and that the subpoena amounts to unconstitutional retaliation. 'The First Amendment is a bulwark against thin-skinned government officials abusing their authority to punish their critics,' said Institute for Justice attorney Ben Field via a news release. 'You can understand why an elected official would be tempted to retaliate against somebody making a joke at their expense, which is why the Constitution stands in their way.'

A hearing to decide the validity of the subpoena is scheduled for Wednesday. The City of Riverview is located in the northeast corner of St. Louis County near the Mississippi River with a population of around 2,300 people. Cornell has served as the City's mayor since 2023.
