Georgia Tech edge rusher Keion White was excited after being drafted by the New England Patriots in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft on Friday night. White looked like he was holding back his emotions on ESPN as people gathered around him celebrated. But that wasn't the TV cut viewers on NFL Network got. In that one, White barely showed any emotion: The timing may have been off with the cut, as it looked like White moments before he learned he got drafted. Like Will Levis, who went No. 33 overall to the Tennessee Titans, White chose to go home for Friday night’s draft festivities and not wait at the draft to get picked. Only Alabama safety Brian Branch, who was picked in the second round by the Detroit Lions, stayed at the draft among players who attended Thursday night and weren’t chosen White had 14 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks in 2022 at Georgia Tech. He spent two years with the Yellow Jackets after he transferred from Old Dominion. He was with the Monarchs for three seasons and had a remarkable 19 tackles for loss in 12 games during the 2019 season before the team didn’t play football in 2020.

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.
