This Day in WSOP History: Cynn, Hachem Become Main Event Champs

In lieu of being able to live report this year's summer series, PokerNews has decided to relive some of the memories of past WSOPs. This Day in WSOP History will harken back to the most poignant moments of WSOPs from 2005-2019.

July 15 was a life-changing day for two players who became immortalized as WSOP champions.
