Raymer Tops Clements; Round of 16 Set

Scott Clements
Scott Clements
A flurry of showdowns and subsequent eliminations dominated the final minutes of the round of 32, which ended with Greg Raymer's elimination of Scott Clements.

Short-stacked, Clements open-shoved all in from the button and Raymer made the call holding {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}; Clements was well behind, tabling {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. Needing a six to stay alive, the board ran out {9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{A-Spades}{9-Clubs} bringing no help to Clements who was eliminated from the competition just shy of the money.

With the win, Raymer locked up the final spot in the round of 16, which is schedule to begin at approximately 4:45 p.m. local time. Stay with us for our continued coverage of the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championships, as we play down to the final eight.
