The player picks a door and has a 1/3 chance of being right. This
chance does not change when a losing door is revealed, so the only
remaining choice gives you a 2/3 chance.


Which totally ignores the fact that the only reason the first door is opened
is because the host already knows it is incorrect. This is NOT a purely
statistical game of chance, the host can manipulate the odds either way, and
regularly do.
