Clements Clipped Just Before the Break
Level 23
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Just before the break, Steven Silverman opened for 42,000 from the cutoff and was met by a three-bet from Scott Clements on the button. The blinds both folded, and then Silverman four-bet jammed. Clements called.
Clements: ![]()
Silverman: ![]()
Both players held a queen, which meant Clements' ace had him well out in front. That all changed though when the ![]()
![]()
flop hit Silverman's jack. Clements could still win with either an ace or king, but neither appeared as the
blanked on the turn followed by the
on the river.
