For the second time in three years, Nicholas Rigby was eliminated on Day 6 of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, this time for losing a race on the featured table.
The Pittsburgh area poker player who was one of the more entertaining characters in the field, went out in 131st place ($67,700) in the largest Main Event ever (10,043 entries). He finished 52nd in 2021, and like this year, spent much of his final few sessions seated at the PokerGO live-stream tables.
Action was caught at the river after both players were all in.
Opponent: 4♥8♥7♦10♠

Joshua Stefansky raised to 15,000 from the button and Brandon Shack-Harris made it 70,000 from the big blind. Stefansky got away from it without much hesitation and Shack-Harris took the small pot without a flop.
On the next hand, Daniel Negreanu raised from under the gun to 25,000 and George Abi-Zeid called from the big blind. The flop was K♦9♠K♣ and Abi-Zeid checked.
"Here's 20 for you," Negreanu said as he fired a bet of 20,000.
Abi-Zeid went into the tank for a moment before he ultimately decided to get away from it. Negreanu showed the K♠ to PokerNews and then flashed it to the table before he dragged in the pot.
One hand later, Ian Matakis limped in from the cutoff and Shack-Harris called from the button before Abi-Zeid came along in the small blind and Dylan Weisman checked his option from the big blind. The flop was 4♦10♣Q♠ and both Abi-Zeid and Weisman checked. Matakis bet 25,000 and Shack-Harris called before Abi-Zeid and Weisman got out of the way.
Both remaining players checked down the 6♦ turn and 4♥ river before Matakis showed K♥Q♦9♥9♦ to take the pot with kings and fours.
Action was caught after the flop of K♥K♦6♦.
Anthony Maio led out for 12,000 from under the gun.
Matthew Parry was not satisfied with the amount, and raised to 32,000 from the button.
Maio abruptly folded for Parry to win the hand.
Joshua Stefansky bet from under the gun for 25,000. A player in middle position raised the pot for 90,000. Stefansky took some time before announcing a pot sized bet of 285,000.
His opponent spared no time before folding for Stefansky to add to his massive stack.
