The penultimate day of the 2024 World Series of Poker will see an additional final table in action at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, where an unscheduled Day 3 in Event #95: $1,979 Poker Hall of Fame Bounty No-Limit Hold’em will join a busy Tuesday lineup.
David Stamm leads the final nine contenders, who will resume their battle at noon local time to award one of the few remaining gold bracelets up for grabs this summer.
Stamm's big stack is worth 25 big blinds, and the American will be facing off against some stiff competition to claim an elusive first WSOP title. This marks his third final table of the series, after placing fifth in Event #49: $3,000 Freezeout No-Limit Hold'em and earning an impressive fourth-place finish in Event #26: $25,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em (8-Handed).
Among the group giving chase is Adam Hendrix, looking to boost his $6.5 million in career earnings while also giving some $25K Fantasy owners a lift late in the series.

Germany's Martin Finger is the only player remaining who can claim a second career WSOP bracelet. Finger scored his first World Series victory back in 2013 in $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em (Six Handed). Finger has more than $8 million in live tournament cashes, but is on the short stack along with Akinobu Maeda of Japan and Denmark's Henrik Juncker.
Naseem Salem sits second in chips, just ahead of Jamie Walden as both players can see a new career-best score in reach today.
Ankit Ahuja of India won't set a career-high cash at this final table, but he can add a WSOP bracelet to his rapidly growing poker resume while Christopher Stevenson is waiting to see how big his first WSOP payout can get.
