Scott Clements is playing lots of pots, to be sure. But he's not winning all of them. Clements was in middle position for the last hand and called William Thorson's open to 260,000. Action passed to small blind Brandon Steven. He three-bet to 660,000, driving Thorson out of the hand. Clements opted to call again.

, but saw the bad news as Candio held the . Bardah went over to the stands where he was embraced by his friends as they rooted loudly for a bunch of hearts to fall.
The flop came down

Bardah finished in 24th place for $317,161, a very well-deserved payday for his first-ever cash in the WSOP Main Event.
Maybe Scott Clements is getting cards. Maybe he's out-playing his opponents. We haven't seen too many showdowns from Clements, so it's hard to know. But he was at it again, calling a raise to 310,000 made by early-position player John Dolan. Clements acted first on an all-club flop, 
. He checked to Dolan, then raised to 855,000 after Dolan bet 350,000. Dolan thought about things for a while before surrendering his cards.

Pisano checked behind this time, and that brought them to the river. Nguyen took the lead now, firing out 900,000 at the pot. Pisano tanked and eventually called to see what was what.
Nguyen showed that his 
had turned a straight, but it was second-best. Pisano called him down with , and his baby full house was plenty good enough to drag the pot.
"Nice call!" one of his railbirds yelled.
"I knew it," Pisano replied. "Soul read."
That soul read has moved Pisano to about 10.6 million, while Nguyen is back to 20.85 million and still shaking his head back and forth slowly as the dealer prepares for the next hand.
