In Event 10, a familiar face took down the mixed-game bracelet. Scott Clements won his first two WSOP bracelets one dozen years ago, and the third was a long time coming. The father of three said the 2019 bracelet is his favorite, noting he has three children and each of them can now have a bracelet.
