Clements Grimaces at a Bad Turn Card

Scott Clements
Scott Clements

Omaha 8/b

Scott Clements is probably scratching his head in bewilderment after running into an absolute buzz-saw of a turn card. He was in the small blind for a pot that was raised by a late position player and called by the button, Clements and the big blind. The pre-flop raiser continued after a flop of {7-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {k-Hearts}, with each other player calling in turn.

Clements and the big blind checked again when the turn came {a-Diamonds}. The pre-flop raiser bet again and was called by the button again. Clements took that as his cue to check-raise, folding the big blind. The pre-flop raiser and the button both called.

All three players checked the {9-Diamonds} river. Clements showed down a set of kings, no low, {k-Diamonds} {k-Spades} {9-Clubs} {4-Clubs}. The pre-flop raiser showed aces and kings and a weak low, {a-Spades} {k-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {8-Spades}. The button player showed a set of aces, {a-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {a-Clubs} {q-Hearts}. The case ace on the turn improved everyone but Clements, giving him a second-best hand for both halves of the pot.
