This Weekend in WSOP History: Two Memorable Bracelets and a Wild Day 1c

COVID-19 forced the postponement of the 2020 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. 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.

While every bracelets that's been awarded over the years meant something to some of the people involved, a few truly stand out as the most memorable wins of all time. While most of those likely involve the WSOP Main Event, the never-before-seen spectacle of a $1 million tournament certainly conjures unique memories, and Antonio Esfandiari's win on July 3, 2012 stands the test of time as a landmark poker moment.
