Leonardo Does Broadway

Leonardo Emperador called a preflop raise from middle position with {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and was thrilled to see a flop of {J-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} for the Broadway straight.

His opponent led out for 2,400 and Emperador didn't slow-play as he raised it up to 5,400. His opponent made the call.

The turn was the {8-Spades} and Emperador fired out 15,000 which was again called.

The river was the {6-Hearts} and Emperador moved his entire stack into the middle hoping to get maximum value, but his opponent stepped out of the way as Emperador flashed his monster hand. He is now up to 95,000 in chips.
