Clements Gets Sneaky; Eliminates Bessey

Scott Clements
Scott Clements
Scott Clements opted to get fancy with a pocket pair of kings and it paid off, as he was able to eliminate Shawn Bessey from the tournament by doing so.

Clements limped in from early position with the kings and Bessey called from the small blind; Bill Bostick checked his option in the big.

All three players checked the {K-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {10-Diamonds} board all the way down to the river, at which point Bessey fired a 2,000 bet. Bostick made the call, but when the action landed on Clements, he simply shoved all in. Bessey made the call for less and Bostick folded, sending us to the showdown.

Clements' kings full was far and away the best hand as Bessey tabled {2-?} {3-?} for trip deuces and was outchipped and thus, eliminated by the two-time bracelet winner, who now sits with right around 60,000 in chips.
