Aaron Nola isn't going anywhere. The Phillies and Nola have agreed to a seven-year contract worth $172 million, a source confirmed. In the young MLB offseason, the Phillies prioritized re-signing the starting pitcher, who has been in the organization since being drafted in 2014. The seven-year deal will extend him through the 2030 season, which will mark his 16th year in Philadelphia. If he stays put, he will pass Steve Carlton (15 seasons) as the longest tenured Phillies pitcher. He'll also land just two seasons behind Mike Schmidt as the longest tenured Phillies player with 18 seasons. It's a big deal. Aaron Nola made his Phillies and Major League debut on July 21st, 2015. Nola is now signed with the team through 2030. Nola will throw 16 years in Philadelphia when it’s all said and done. Welcome back, Noles. Actually, welcome home.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. 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. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. 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.
