German cobbles up rock-solid stage win

The 33-year-old won the famed tournament at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. He’s now $8.8 million richer and the owner of a coveted gold bracelet with diamonds and other gemstones.

Cynn eliminated Tony Miles, of Lake Mary, Fla., on the 442th hand of the final table. Cynn’s king of clubs and jack of clubs were stronger than Miles’ hand. Miles went all in with queen of clubs and eight of hearts.

Truex on NASCAR roll

Martin Truex Jr. is feeling confident after his most dominant performance this season.

That’s understandable, considering the defending Cup Series champion and his Furniture Row Racing team are slightly ahead of last season’s pace, with signs of even better things to come.

Late Saturday night, Truex was leading 174 laps from the pole on his way to the repeat victory at Kentucky Speedway’s 400-mile race in Sparta, Ky . . . .

Scott Dixon won the IndyCar race at Toronto for his third title at the event.

The New Zealander finished the 85-lap course on the streets surrounding Exhibition Place first, with Simon Pagenaud finishing second. Robert Wickens was third, marking the third year in a row a Canadian landed on the podium.

James Hinchcliffe of Canada was fourth after two straight years of thirdplace finishes.
