Before the draw, Stephen Moreschi was all in for about 4,500 versus Jake Daniels and Maxx Coleman, who each called.
Moreschi and Coleman drew one, while Daniels needed three cards.
After the draw, Daniels checked to Coleman, who moved all in. Daniels quickly folded to get a birds-eye view of a Five Card Draw cooler.
Coleman announced he had a full house, nines over sixes, while Moreschi couldn't believe that he filled up on the draw as well, but his threes full of deuces went down in flames, eliminating him from the tournament.
Nicholas Rigby made some interesting calls with on Day 5 of the 2021 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, where he built a big stack throughout the day. But it wasn't because of his love for NBA legend Michael Jordan, who famously wore the #23 for the Chicago Bulls.
When poker's world championship tournament concludes next week, one player will take home $8 million. If Rigby continues stacking chips at his current rate, he just might claim that nine-figure prize. But there appears to be only one thing that could stop him from reaching that mountain top — refusing to fold a hand dubbed in his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as "The Dirty Diaper."
There is actually a reason why he loves to play the three-deuce, and it has nothing to do with GTO. Rigby's rowdy and inebriated friends on his rail inside the Amazon room explained on the PokerGO stream why their pal likes to play the 3-2.
"The Diaper is a famous hand in Pittsburgh," one of his friends explained to PokerGO's Jeff Platt. "The three-deuce is called The Dirty Diaper if it's off-suit, and we play it all the time."
Rigby's friend continued to explain that they play the 3-2 game in Pittsburgh like others play the 7-2 game, where everyone at the table must ship a chip to a player who wins a hand with 7-2. In their case, the bounty is on for when a player takes down a pot with the 3-2.
In the Main Event, or any tournament, you can't play those games, but Rigby's a cash game player, according to his friends. During Day 5 of poker's biggest event, he brought The Dirty Diaper game across the country to Las Vegas, except no one else was playing along.
Ryan Hughes just eliminated an opponent with an insane runout that he just shared.
According to Hughes, he raised to 800 from the small blind and got a call from the big blind and the cutoff.
On a flop, Hughes bet 1,700, the big blind raised the size of the pot, the cutoff folded, then Hughes re-potted to put the big blind all-in and he called.

On a flop, Danny Noam led out for 1,500 into Jose Paz-Gutierrez, who raised to 6,100.
Noam called to see the fall on the turn. He then led out again, this time for 17,000, which represented about half of Paz-Gutierrez's stack, and Paz-Gutierrez opted to fold.
