Thrilling Countdown to the 2024 WSOP $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed Final

The pulse at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas was palpable as Day 2 of Event #31: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed at the 2024 World Series of Poker saw the field dramatically shrink from 61 hopefuls to an electrifying final table of six. Each finalist now stands on the brink of poker glory, with a guaranteed prize of at least $87,846 and eyes firmly set on the top prize of $516,135 along with the prestigious WSOP bracelet.

• Key Takeaways:
  • David Coleman leads the final six with a towering chip count of 24,300,000.
  • The total prize pool reached a staggering $3,284,100 from a 1,230-player field.
  • Day 3 promises intense action, resuming at Horseshoe Events Center with live streaming available on PokerGO.

David Coleman, hailing from the United States, has emerged as the man to beat, entering the final day with a commanding lead. Coleman, who has already made a final table appearance earlier in the series, is on the hunt for his first WSOP bracelet to add to his impressive live tournament earnings of over $5 million. With a chip count more than three times that of his closest competitor, Konstantyn Holskyi, Coleman is in a prime position to dominate the final table.

The road to the final six was fraught with high tension and dramatic exits. Early on, notable players such as Faraz Jaka and 2015 Main Event Champion Joe McKeehen were eliminated, setting the stage for a day of intense poker action. Nicholas Seward, who started as a substantial chip leader at the unofficial final table, faced setbacks but managed to secure the third spot entering the final day.

The day was not without its miracle moments. Stephen Buell, entering the unofficial final table with the shortest stack, found a miraculous five on the river to stay in contention. However, Onar Unsal's journey ended just shy of the final table, becoming the bubble boy in a poignant moment that saw Coleman river a flush to secure his final table berth.

As the final day looms, the remaining six players are gearing up for what promises to be a showcase of skill, strategy, and nerve. With the action resuming at 3 p.m. local time and live streaming set to capture every moment from 4 p.m., poker enthusiasts around the globe are eagerly awaiting the crowning of the next WSOP champion.
