Nobody would have blamed Rob Ray had he taken a step back. Yet Ray, despite taking a hockey puck to the head, barely hesitated. The longtime Buffalo Sabres winger turned broadcaster took a puck square to the face on Monday night during the Sabres’ game against the Arizona Coyotes. The puck hit him right between the eyebrows and even drew blood. Yet Ray barely flinched. He wiped blood off with a towel, got a bandage put on and kept right on going. All good, he said calmly before later returning to the broadcast. I’m just trying to clean my glasses up a little bit so I can put them on and see through them again,” he said later before adding that he’ll likely be getting stitches on Monday night. “A normal guy would have been carried out of here. Hey, more power to him. Ray, 55, joined the Sabres’ broadcasting crew in 2012. He spent 14 of his 15 seasons in the NHL playing for the Sabres from 1989-2002. He’s still the team’s all-time leader in penalty minutes, too. The Sabres beat the Coyotes 5-2 on Monday night at the KeyBank Center, which brought them to 12-14-3 on the season. They’ll head out to Denver for a matchup with the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday. Based on how Ray reacted on Monday night, he’s sure to be there — even if it's with a few extra stitches.

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.
