"That was fresh in our minds, and we wanted to have a different conclusion," the St. Louis native explained. "I believe everyone in the locker room understands what we're trying to accomplish," Tatum said.
"We recognize that we have the best record; we're 21-5; with that comes the decision to play the proper way every night, to play as hard as we can on both ends."

Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
