Rigby Falls to a Brutal River
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Nicholas Rigby has been an unmissable presence at this Main Event, but his run just came to a sudden hand on a brutal river suckout by Diego Daquilio.
Rigby shoved all in for 1,540,000 from early position and Daquilio reshoved in middle position to force the rest of the table out of the pot.
Nicholas Rigby: J♠J♥
Diego Daquilio: A♣K♣
Rigby was racing for his tournament life and took a big lead on the 10♥J♣2♠ flop with top set. The 6♠ turn was safe for Rigby, but Daquilio spiked the Q♠ on the river to make a Broadway straight.
Rigby sat stunned in his seat for a few moments before getting up to shake Daquilio's hand on his way to the payout desk.
