A Pittsburgh native, Rigby learned to play deuce-three offsuit, The Dirty Diaper, in his home games and at his local casino. "We just always referred to it as the Diaper, so (I) just kind of ran with it last year once I started (playing it).

After finishing 52nd in the 2021 Main Event for $136,100, Rigby returned to the 2023 WSOP and took the Main Event by storm with his Dirty Diaper.
