World Champ John Cynn Cashes First Live Poker Tournament Since 2022

"Magic" John Cynn, a past world champion, ended a four-year drought of no live tournament cashes on Wednesday at the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP).

The Chicago-area native avoided the bubble in Event #17: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship when Jon Shoreman busted in 31st place just after the Day 2 dinner break. In doing so, the 2018 WSOP Main Event winner secured his first cash in any tournament — not just at the WSOP — since July 2022.
