It took a bit, but Ronny Mauricio finally hit his first major league home run. In the fourth inning of the Mets' second game of their series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday, Mauricio took starter Ryne Nelson deep. The homer went an estimated 440 feet up in the top deck in right field and had an exit velocity of 112.4 mph. The blast broke a 1-1 tie, and with DJ Stewart on first, gave the Mets a 3-1 lead at the time. Everyone at Citi Field knew Mauricio hit a bomb, and the infielder made sure to soak it in as he stood at home plate to admire his moonshot before flipping his bat. Since his call up on Sept. 1 (10 games), the 22-year-old has hit well for the Mets. After the home run, Mauricio is 10-for-32 (.324) with three RBI and two walks. He's also slugging .471 and has an on base percentage of .361. In 116 games in Triple-A, Mauricio slashed .292/.346/.506 with 23 home runs and 71 RBI.

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.
