Scott Clements won the 2026 WSOP $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo Championship.
Scott Clements adds another accolade to his collection, winning his fourth WSOP gold bracelet.
The 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) will once again see the crowning of a heavyweight champion.
In Event #9:$10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship, American mixed game star Scott Clements emerged victorious, winning the championship trophy, $763,087 in prize money, and his fourth WSOP gold bracelet.
This is Clements' first WSOP title since 2017, ending a nine-year wait for a gold bracelet.
Facing challenges from numerous top-tier mixed-game players worldwide, Clements proved with consistent and precise performance that he remains one of the most capable all-around professional poker players today.
The high-profile championship attracted top players.
The $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo Championship has always been one of the most prestigious mixed-game tournaments in the WSOP.
Unlike regular No-Limit Texas Hold'em, Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better not only tests a player's ability to compete for high cards, but also requires them to calculate low card combinations.
Therefore, players must consider both:
- High-value judgment
- Low-card structure analysis
- Bottom pool control ability
- Multi-street betting strategy
- Pool splitting probability calculation
This has made Omaha Hi-Lo one of the most complex poker variations ever.
This tournament attracted hundreds of top players, with a total prize pool exceeding several million US dollars, once again demonstrating the important role of hybrid games in the WSOP.
Scott Clements' Road to the Championship
As a veteran WSOP champion, Scott Clements has been a prominent figure in the mixed game genre for many years.
He won his first WSOP gold bracelet back in 2006.
Then again at:
- 2007
- 2017
He won the championship and accumulated three gold bracelets.
However, since 2017, despite reaching the final table multiple times, he has always missed out on his fourth title.
At this year's WSOP, Clements finally achieved another breakthrough.
From the second day of the competition, he remained in the lead group on the scoreboard and gradually built a stable advantage.
Once he reached the final table, he demonstrated his rich experience and profound skills, successfully controlling the pace of the game.
The final table was fiercely contested.
This final table brought together many top players in mixed games.
Among them are:
- WSOP gold bracelet winner
- High-stakes mixed game regulars
- Online high-stakes star players
Every player has the ability to compete for the championship.
During the final match, the scoreboard changed hands several times, and the game was extremely close.
However, Clements remained calm and gradually built an advantage based on his years of accumulated tournament experience.
Especially in several large pot battles, he successfully avoided high-risk collisions while steadily accumulating chips, laying the foundation for his eventual victory.
One-on-one duel to secure the championship
Even after entering the one-on-one stage, Clements remained calm and composed when facing his final opponent.
Although the two sides were locked in a stalemate for a time, he gradually gained control of the situation thanks to his larger score advantage.
In the final crucial hand, Clements successfully finished the game, officially securing the championship.
When the last card was played, enthusiastic applause immediately erupted in the room.
For this veteran who has been competing in professional tournaments for over two decades, the fourth WSOP gold bracelet undoubtedly holds special significance.
Nine years of waiting have finally paid off.
In a post-match interview, Scott Clements admitted that this championship was exceptionally precious.
Although I have always been active in the high-stakes mixed gaming scene, the intensity of competition has been increasing in recent years, making it increasingly difficult to win the gold bracelet again.
Therefore, he felt extremely satisfied to be crowned champion in such a high-level tournament.
Many professional gamers also sent their congratulations.
In their eyes, Clements has been one of the most underrated top players in the hybrid gaming field for many years.
The arrival of his fourth gold bracelet now completes his professional resume.
The legendary status of hybrid games has been elevated once again.
With this victory, Scott Clements' total WSOP prize money and professional live tournament earnings have increased significantly once again.
More importantly, he further solidified his historical position in the field of hybrid games.
In recent years, as Texas Hold'em has received more attention, mixed game players have often received less media exposure.
However, within the professional gaming community, versatile players like Clements, who can maintain competitiveness over the long term, are always highly respected.
Now, with his fourth gold bracelet in hand, he has officially joined the ranks of WSOP multi-titled athletes.
Competition continues to heat up at the 2026 WSOP.
With Scott Clements's victory, the 2026 WSOP has already produced several heavyweight gold bracelet winners.
And then:
- Millionaire Maker
- Monster Stack
- Poker Players Championship
- Main Event World Championship
Other major events will also be held one after another.
For Scott Clements, the fourth gold bracelet may just be the beginning.
For poker players worldwide, this championship performance by a master of hybrid games will undoubtedly be one of the most exciting stories of the early 2026 WSOP.
