Clements was a mortgage broker in Mt. Vernon, Washington before turning to pro poker in 2005. An active online player prior to the 2006 poker ban in his state he then decided to turn his attention to live and tournament play.

He had three cash-outs in the 2006 WSOP, including his first bracelet ($3,000/Omaha Hi-Lo) where he faced a tough final table, inluding "The Brat" Phil Hellmuth. At this year's series he'd already racked up two cashes -- $1,500/No-Limit Hold’em and $1,500/Limit Hold’em Shootout -- before he bested a tough field to take the $1500/Pot-Limit Omaha event and his second WSOP bracelet.
