Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams won't be charged with assault after the case against him was dropped June 5, a spokeswoman for the Kansas City municipal court said Friday. The case stems from an incident last October when Adams shoved a cameraman immediately after the Raiders' 30-29 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. Adams pushed the cameraman while the wideout walked to the locker room. He apologized soon after the incident. Adams was not suspended by the league but was charged with misdemeanor assault by the state of Missouri and was set for a court appearance on June 26. Although the criminal case against Adams was dropped, the victim, identified as Park Zebley, filed a civil lawsuit for battery against Adams in May. That case is still pending. He also named the Chiefs, the Raiders and two other companies in the suit. Zebley, who was working for a local company contracted by ESPN, said in the suit that he feared for his life following the incident, was diagnosed with concussion-like symptoms and was harassed online. J.R. Hobbs, Adams' attorney, declined to comment Friday. Adams and the Raiders return to Arrowhead on Christmas Day.

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.
