David Coleman opened 1,100,000 in the small blind and Konstantyn Holskyi defended the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of A♠7♥6♣ and Coleman continued for 675,000. Holskyi moved all in for 3,000,000 and Coleman quickly called.

Konstantyn Holskyi: 10♥6♥ All in
David Coleman: 7♦5♣

Both players flopped a pair but Holskyi was in trouble with a pair of sixes. The K♥ hit the turn, giving Holskyi a flush draw and the 6♦ river improved him to trip sixes to remain in the tournament.

Sava Krink

Six players will return to the felt for the third and final day of Event #31: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed at the 2024 World Series of Poker, held at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, each aiming for the coveted gold bracelet. The 1,230 runners generated a total prize pool of $3,284,100, with the winner set to take home $516,135. The remaining competitors are guaranteed at least $87,846.

David Coleman leads the pack with 24,300,000 chips, nearly half of all chips in play. After a sixth-place finish in the $5,000 Champions Reunion Freezeout event, Coleman is making for his second WSOP final table appearance of this series.

Final Table Chip Counts and Seat Draw

Seat	Player	Country	Chips	Big Blinds
1	David Coleman	United States	24,300,000	61
2	Konstantyn Holskyi	Ukraine	7,800,000	20
3	Akinobu Maeda	Japan	2,300,000	6
4	Stephen Buell	United States	3,200,000	8
5	Nikolaos Angelou	Greece	3,800,000	10
6	Nicholas Seward	United States	7,775,000	19

Konstantyn Holskyi is second in chips with 7,800,000, followed closely by Nicholas Seward with 7,775,000. Seward entered the unofficial final table as the chip leader but fell to third after a few hands didn't go his way.

For all six remaining players, this would be their first WSOP victory.
