Clements Loses a Bunch
Scott Clements and David Bach were two parties in one of the biggest pots of the day. It went three ways down to the river and the amount of raising and reraising built a mountain in the middle.
It started early as fourth street saw Clements bet into a field of three opponents with 
. Bradley Sullivan called, a player in Seat 7 raised, David Bach cold-called and Clements made it three bets. Sullivan got out of the way and the other two stuck around.
It got even crazier on fifth street as Clements caught low and bet again, with the next player calling, Bach raising, Clements making it three bets and Bach making it four. Everyone went to sixth.

This time, things slowed down as Bach bet and the others called. On the end, though, it got wild again as Clements bet out, the next player called and Bach raised. Clements made it three bets and the others called.
Clements had 
for an ace-high flush. However, Bach had a better ace-high flush with 
in the hole for ace-king high. The third player had made a low and he took half of the pot, so Clements came out as the player taking a big hit.
