Damar Hamlin, a Buffalo Bills safety, was released from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center on Monday and returned home, one week after his horrifying fall. Hamlin has been in the hospital since he collapsed on the field during the Bills' Week 17 game against the Bengals on Jan. 2. Hamlin's case has been transferred to a Buffalo hospital, where he will continue to rehabilitate, which will take "weeks to months." After colliding with Cincinnati receiver Tee Higgins, Hamlin fell down in the first quarter of the Bills' game against the Bengals. After the play, Hamlin stood up, but then staggered back and collapsed. He stayed on the field for an extended period of time as sports trainers and medical personnel administered CPR. He was finally taken to the hospital, and the game was called off. Hamlin began to show "signs of recovery" on Wednesday. On Thursday, he began to wake up, and doctors withdrew his breathing tube that night, marking another significant milestone in his "amazing" recovery. According to ESPN's Coley Harvey, UC Health physicians reported Monday that Hamlin has been up and walking in the hospital in recent days, is eating a regular meal, and is visiting with family members and his care team. This past weekend, the league recognized Hamlin to round up the regular season. For Week 18, players and coaches wore special warm-up jerseys with Hamlin's number on it, and the "3" on each field's 30-yard line was highlighted in Bills colors. A GoFundMe campaign created by Hamlin's foundation in 2020 with an original aim of $2,500 soon topped $8 million in donations. Hamlin was watching the Buffalo Bills beat the New England Patriots on Sunday and supposedly set off every alarm in the ICU when the opening kick was returned for a score.

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.
