The Boston Bruins made a spectacular entry to the 2023 Winter Classic, which was fitting considering the venue. As they arrived at the field for their game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, all of the players were dressed in historic Boston Red Sox jerseys. A few hours before the 2 p.m. ET puck drop, several of the players, including Bruins right winger David Pastrnak, played catch with a baseball and glove. The Penguins also added an old-school baseball atmosphere to Monday's game. Many of the players wore outfits commemorating the 1925 Pittsburgh Pirates. This year's Winter Classic will be the second time Fenway Park has hosted the event, making it the only site in the event's history to do so twice. It also hosted the 2010 Winter Classic, in which the Boston Bruins beat the Philadelphia Flyers in overtime.

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.
