Caleb King leaves Parkview
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Parkview running back Caleb King, one of the top high football school players in Georgia and the country, isn’t returning to the elite Gwinnett program but will transfer to the smaller, private Greater Atlanta Christian School.
His older brother and advisor, who may become a volunteer coach at GAC, says the school’s Christian mission was a critical component in the decision to transfer. But GAC plays at the Class AA level, while Parkview is a former state champion and perennial contender in Class AAAAA.
Will this help King in his final year of high school ball and his aspirations of playing major college football? What do you think is behind this move? Do you think his interests are at the forefront, or is this another example of meddling from family members?

Holding steady in Vegas poker series
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Just 30 minutes into Tuesday at the World Series of Poker Main Event, and already three of the 27 remaining players were eliminated. One was Georgia Tech industrial engineering grad Siddharth Jain, who entered with a short stack of chips and needed to make a move quickly.
He went all-in with a pair of eights and was taken out by a player who held a pair of kings, and picked up a third on the flop.
Doing the eliminating was Conyers native Dustin Holmes, who took out Mark Garner who went all-n before the flop with a pair of fives. Holmes held aces, and his strong hand survived. Holmes entered the day with a chip count of just over $1 million, and pushed it to $1.8 million with that hand.
They will play today until the field is reduced to a final table of nine.
It’s moving day in Vegas
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Las Vegas — The penultimate day of the World Series of Poker Main Event began play at 3 p.m. (EDT), with Hollywood-type Jamie Gold holding a huge chip lead, his $13-million stack some $5 million better than anyone else.
The remaining field of 27 will be closely watching as one-by-one players fall, balancing between playing for time and playing for chips. Survival pays very well at this level. Those who finish 19th through 27th will earn $494, 797. Places 16-18 pay $659,730; 13 through 15 pays $907,123 and 10 through 12 pays $1.15 million.
They are scheduled to play Tuesday however long it takes to whittle the field down to the final table of nine players. They’ll take off Wednesday and begin the final table play, with the winner standing to make $12 million, at 5 p.m. (EDT).
