Clements Seeking Third Final Table of Summer
Scott Clements has already made two finals tables at the 2015 WSOP. He finished fourth in Event #21: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Low Championship and then had a near-miss coming second to Brian Hastings in Event #27: $10,000 Seven-Card Stud Championship.
Now, he's looking in good position to contend for another as he bagged 66,000 to rank fifth on the leaderboard after Day 1 of Event #52: $1,500 Dealer's Choice. The event drew 357 runners, down a bit from the 419 who played last year, when Robert Mizrachi won.
Scott Blackman has the biggest stack with 97,000, while Randy Ohel (85,575), Greg Mueller (54,775), Mizrachi (46,025), and Jeff Lisandro (44,825) also bagged in solid amounts.
Day 2 kicks off at 2 p.m. Friday for another 19-game grind, and with 36 places paid, the money should be reached relatively early on.
