Brooklyn Nets guard Paul Pierce has officially been eliminated from the World Series of Poker. We even have confirmation that he has in fact, walked out of the Rio. Typing the first sentence of this post was exceedingly strange, though it would have been far more awkward had I not had someone massaging my shoulders while I did so, similar to what Pierce enjoyed while he played poker.

Now that Pierce is out, the next mission is to find out exactly where those fierce sunglasses can be purchased.
