The Las Vegas Raiders have traded standout tight end Darren Waller to the New York Giants in exchange for a third-round draft selection in 2023. The Giants acquired Kadarius Toney in exchange for the draft selection they got from the Kansas City Chiefs. Raiders supporters questioned the Raiders' decision to trade Waller, which garnered a response on Twitter from star running back Josh Jacobs. Another supporter argued why Waller needed to be traded. In 2018, the Raiders signed Waller off the practice squad of the Baltimore Ravens. He was a prime target for Raiders quarterback Derek Carr at the time. Waller has missed a number of games during the last two seasons. Waller played the previous five seasons with the Raiders, accumulating 3,469 yards and 17 touchdowns. In 2020, he was named to the Pro Bowl. Daniel Jones, the Giants' quarterback, will have a new target in him.

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.
