Don't poke the bear. Pistons fans decided to do it by chanting "Luka sucks" while facing the Mavericks Saturday night. Soon after that started, Doncic went on a tear that saw him put up 39 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds — he is now the first player in the history of the NBA with six consecutive 30+ point triple-doubles. "I don't know why would they do that [chant 'Luka sucks']. I love it. They know it's not true, and they keep going, so I don't know," Doncic said via Grant Afseth. Doncic also became the first player in NBA history with five consecutive 35+ point triple doubles. Doncic had help. Kyrie Irving added 21 points for Dallas, which picked up a comfortable 142-124 win over the Pistons. Cade Cunningham nearly had a triple-double of his own with 33 points, 10 assists, and nine rebounds. Simone Fontecchio added a career-high 27 points.

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.
