The Miami Heat established an NBA record most free throws made without a miss on Tuesday, and they needed them all. In a 112-111 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder at home, the Heat went a record 40-for-40 from the charity line. Jimmy Butler posted a and-1 with 12.9 seconds remaining with his side behind by two points to set the record. Butler converted one more free shot after tied the game at 111-111 to secure the victory and the record. Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander missed a game-winning shot on the opposite end. The previous record was held by the Utah Jazz, who hit 39 free throws without missing a single one on December 7, 1982. That night, the Jazz were defeated by the Portland Trail Blazers. Butler made the bulk of the Heat's free throws on Tuesday, going 23-for-23 from the line in a 35-point performance. He also had seven rebounds, four assists, four steals, and three blocks on 6-for-17 shooting from the floor. The other record contributors were Gabe Vincent (6-for-6), Jamal Cain (2-for-2), Max Strus (2-for-2), Victor Oladipo (2-for-2) and Dewayne Dedmon (2-for-2), who had an eventful day for reasons beyond the record.

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.
