Nick Petrangelo

Abhinav Iyer opened to 180,000 in middle position and was called by Vasu Amarapu in middle position and Nick Petrangelo in the big blind.

Each player checked on the {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} flop and Iyer bet 225,000 on the {9-Spades} turn. Amarapu called and Petrangelo raised all-in for 615,000. Iyer folded and Amarapu asked for a count before calling.

Nick Petrangelo: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Abhinav Iyer: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Petrangelo was ahead with two pair against the open-ended straight draw of Iyer. The river brought the {6-Clubs} and Petrangelo's hand held up to double through his opponent.

"You had more outs than I was hoping you had," Petrangelo said.

Nick Rigby Plays the 2-3 "Dirty Diaper" in 2021 WSOP Main Event

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Nicholas Rigby
Nicholas Rigby

Nicholas Rigby made some interesting calls with {3-}{2-} 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.

Holmes Cracks Kings to Eliminate Lewis

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Austin Lewis opened to 160,000 and subsequently four-bet shoved to get called by George Holmes. In the showdown, both players revealed premium pocket pairs and Lewis was in prime shape to double his shorter stack.

Austin Lewis: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
George Holmes: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop instantly improved Lewis to a set of queens and the {5-Clubs} turn gave him queens full. Another blank for Lewis followed on the {7-Hearts} river and he departed in 92nd place. Another deep run for the 2019 Main Event, 16th place finisher.

Ronald Jensen raised from middle position. Roman Valerstein moved all in from the cutoff, Daniel Swartz then re-jammed for his larger amount from the button which folded everyone else out.

Daniel Swartz: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Conniff Sends Koop Home Early

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Niko Koop
Niko Koop

Niko Koop shoved his last 250,000 from middle position and Asher Conniff moved in for 1,625,000 from the cutoff. Demosthenes Kiriopoulos went into the tank and asked Conniff how much he had.

Conniff answered and Kiriopoulos continued to consider his options for a few more moments before he tossed 250,000 into the middle.

It was apparent that Kiriopolous did not see that Conniff was all-in, and his intention was to call the bet from Koop. There was no all-in button in front of Conniff since it was in use for Koop, and Kiriopoulos had headphones on. The floor supervisor was called over to make a ruling.

The floor supervisor ruled that Kiriopolous had committed 250,000, and that he had an option to surrender it with a fold. Kiriopolous quickly folded and the other two players tabled their cards.

Niko Koop: {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Asher Conniff: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and the eights held to eliminate Koop from the Main Event.
