This heater may not be unprecedented, but it's quickly approaching that territory. With a win over the Oilers on Monday, the New Jersey Devils extended their winning streak to 13 games, tying them for the fifth-longest such run in NHL history and putting them only four games back of the all-time record. A win streak of at least 13 has only been accomplished 10 other times, with the Panthers most-recently hitting that mark just last season before the rival Lightning put a stop to that. The Devils also reached the 13-consecutive-win mark during the 2000-01 season before bowing out in the Cup final after winning it all the year before. Another dub over the depleted Maple Leafs on Wednesday night would put the Devils into a tie for fourth all-time and within striking distance of the 1992-93 Penguins' record mark of 17 consecutive wins.
Daniel Weinman was crowned winner of the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event on Monday, taking home a record breaking $12.1 million in winnings. Weinman had to outlast the other 10,043 entrants to take home the prize and get his hands on his share of live poker’s largest ever prize pool – a staggering $93,399,900. As well as taking home the prize money, 35-year-old Weinman also got his hands on the WSOP Main Event bracelet. The huge bracelet contains 500 grams of 10-karat yellow gold, as well as 2,352 various precious gemstones.
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.
