An Orbit with Scott Clements
![[user196975]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
We spent an orbit following Scott Clements for inside peek at the monotony of live poker tournaments. The two-time WSOP bracelet winner is one of the most successful players in the room with over $5 million in career tournament earnings. Clements keeps himself busy by traveling with his MacBook Air.
Hand 1 - He folded preflop and fired up the Twitter machine on his laptop.
Hand 2 - He folded preflop and scrolled through his Twitter feed. He took a sip of one his four beverages.
Hand 3 - He folded preflop and opened the WPT homepage. He scrolled through their live updates to sweat the action in their $10k event in Hollywood, FL.
Hand 4 - He folded preflop and switched to the 2+2 forums. He scrolled through some posts, completely ignoring the action at the table.
Hand 5 - He was under the gun and quickly folded. He gave Gary Bolden a fist bump as he passed by the table. He intently read a thread on 2+2.
Hand 6 - He was in the big blind and Sam Barnhart opened for 3,300. The small blind called and Clements went back to reading the thread. He continued to read as the small blind beat Barnhart in the pot holding pocket kings and making a full house.
Hand 7 - In the small blind an early position player opened to 3,800. He folded preflop and was glued to his 2+2 thread. From our vantage point we couldn't make out what he was reading about.
Hand 8 - On the button he left his laptop and watched the preflop action. An early position raiser made it 3,800 to go and he re-raised to 8,300. The original bettor called and the flop came 
. Both players checked and the turn came 
. They both checked again and the river came 
. Both players checked a third time and Clements tabled 
and took the pot.
Hand 9 - There was a dead button so Clements had position again. He folded preflop and went back to the forums. Then an announcement came over the PA that a poker player had lost their keys. He stood up and checked all his pockets, twice. He asked the floor where the lost and found was but then sat back down at the table. We're pretty sure the keys were his but he didn't want to leave the action.
