Onur Unsal raised from middle position to 800,000 and David Coleman made the call in the big blind. The flop came out with 10♣6♠4♣ and Coleman bet enough to put Unsal all in for 675,000. Unsal called.
Onur Unsal: A♠J♦
David Coleman: K♣7♠
Neither player hit the flop but the turn 10♣ and the river J♣ gave Coleman the flush for the win.
On Day 2 of Event #31: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed at the 2024 World Series of Poker, the 61 players who began the day were reduced to the official final table of 6 after just over thirteen 40-minute levels of play at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
Each of the six remaining is guaranteed a prize of at least $87,846. The 1,230-player field created a prize pool of $3,284,100, with the eventual winner taking home $516,135 and the coveted WSOP bracelet.
Heading into the final day with 24,300,000 chips and a commanding chip lead is David Coleman of the United States. Coleman already has a final table under his belt in this WSOP, securing sixth place in the Champions Reunion Freezeout. With over $5,000,000 in live tournament earnings, Coleman boasts an impressive record. However, despite his achievements, he has yet to claim a WSOP bracelet. As play resumes tomorrow, all eyes will surely be on him as he aims for a first-place finish.

Nicholas Seward came into the unofficial final table, beginning with the final seven players, as a huge chip leader. After a few hands didn’t go his way, he ended the day third on the leaderboard with 7,775,000 chips.
Today's Action
Faraz Jaka
When play got underway at noon today, Faraz Jaka was the first to bust in one of the initial hands after Akinobu Maeda’s queen-seven rivered a straight, sending him to the rail. He was swiftly followed to the cashier’s desk by the likes of Ian Steinman, Alex Foxen, Joseph Cheong, and the 2015 Main Event Champion Joe McKeehen.
Seward sent Maria Ho to the rail in 30th after his ace-king outflopped Ho's pocket jacks. The 2018 World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) Main Event champion Jack Sinclair was eliminated in 22nd place after getting his short stack all in with ace-deuce against the king-queen of [Removed:550]. A king and a queen on the flop ended Sinclair’s deep run in this event.
Maria Ho
Overnight chip leader and bracelet winner Jake Ripnick was eliminated in 19th place after getting all his chips in preflop with pocket sevens against Coleman's ace-queen. A rivered four-flush for Coleman sealed Ripnick's fate in the event.
Stephen Buell came into the unofficial final table as the shortest stack and got those chips in the middle within the first orbit of play with pocket fives running into Onar Unsal’s pocket tens. However, a miracle five on the river kept his hopes of playing under the lights tomorrow alive. Unsal would earn the unfortunate title of final table bubble boy after Coleman's king-seven rivered a flush, sending him to the rail in seventh place.
