It didn't take long for players, fans and the rest of the NBA world to react to Draymond Green's early ejection in the Warriors' gritty 101-93 win over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night at Kia Center. But no reaction spoke louder than that of Steph Curry. Cameras caught Curry visibly distraught before hiding his face in his jersey, and several photos circulating online show the two-time NBA MVP holding back tears. After the game, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Curry was emotional "because our team needed the win." Green was ejected less than four minutes into the contest after receiving back-to-back technicals for arguing a foul call with official Ray Acosta. Curry didn't have his best night on the floor, finishing with 17 points on 6-of-18 shooting, but one of his three 3-pointers was an epic dagger that ultimately sent the Magic "night night" to secure Golden State's victory.

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.
