Day 2 of Event #52: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed at the 2024 World Series of Poker, held at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas has concluded for the night. Only 37 players successfully bagged their chips and advanced to the third day of play.
Some 231 players returned from the first day's play, but because late registration remained open for one more level at the start of day, the total number of entrants increased to 817. This generated a prize pool of $3,762,800 and will award $656,747 to the eventual winner, plus the coveted WSOP gold bracelet.
After ten 60-minute levels of play, it was Turbo Nguyen of the United States who topped the counts with 2,700,000 in chips. Nguyen has over $2,200,000 in live tournament earnings but has yet to make his debut at a WSOP final table. This will be his fourth cash during this year's WSOP, and with the chip lead, he has the potential to make this the biggest cash of his poker career.

One of the most decorated players still in the field is the United State’s David Coleman with 1,045,000 chips. He has already made two final tables at this WSOP, finishing sixth in the Champions Reunion Freezeout and fourth in the $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed. With more than $5,000,000 in live tournament earnings, Coleman's record is highly impressive. Despite these achievements, he has not yet won a WSOP bracelet. As the tournament continues tomorrow, he will undoubtedly be a player to watch as he aims to make a third final table.
A major highlight for many players today was the bursting of the money bubble, ensuring they were part of the remaining 123 players who each would secure a minimum cash of $9,963. Unfortunately for Pete Chen, he became the event's bubble boy after a cooler with Jake Schwartz didn't go in his favor.
Several big names who missed out on the money today include Josh Arieh, Andrew Lichtenberger, Jack Sinclair, Nacho Barbero, and 2015 Main Event champion Joe McKeehen, who was eliminated after getting his short stack all in against the aces of John Kenner.
Notable players who cashed but did not advance to Day 3 include, Sergio Aido, Christian Harder, Kenny Hallaert, Scott Seiver, Eric Baldwin, Bin Weng, and six-time WSOP bracelet winner Jeremy Ausmus.
Day 3 begins at noon on Saturday, June 22, with blinds at 10,000/25,000 and a big blind ante of 25,000. It will take place in the Horseshoe Event Center with the goal for the day being to play down until only five players remain.

The tournament director has announced that four more hands will be played before players bag up.
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
On a board of 2♣Q♣2♠3♣2♥, Ilia Drobin shoved all in on the river for 230,000, and Jake Schwartz was debating whether to make the call. After some time thinking, Schwartz did make the call which put Drobin at risk.
Drobin flipped over Q♥9♦ for a full house, and Schwartz flashed pocket jacks before sending his cards into the muck.

Bin Weng raised to 40,000 from the hijack. Lester Edoc three-bet shoved from the small blind for 470,000 and then Lucas Blanco moved all in with the covering stack out of the big blind. Weng called for his remaining 500,000 and the cards were revealed with Weng and Edoc being the ones at risk.
Lester Edoc: A♦Q♣
Bin Weng: 9♦9♥
Lucas Blanco: Q♠Q♦
There was no help for either Edoc or Weng on the 2♣10♦4♦8♠3♥ board and with that, Blanco scored the double knockout and catapulted up the chip counts.

Kharin Sued opened the action with a raise to 50,000 from the cutoff. Bin Weng called on the button before Tyler Cornell moved all in for 305,000 from the big blind. Sued re-raised all in for 715,000 and action was back on Weng. "I don't think I can fold my hand." said Weng, before he stuck a stack of chips into the middle, signaling call.
Tyler Cornell: A♦K♣
Kharlin Sued: A♥K♥
Bin Weng: 9♦9♠
A great spot for Weng as Cornell and Sued had each other's outs covered, the board came down K♦8♠6♥10♠8♥ and Cornell and Sued caught a King to stay alive. Cornell raked in the majority of the chips, but Cornell was able to chip up as well.
