Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Leonardo Emperador was just involved in a couple of all-ins against shorter-stacked opponents.

First he took his {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Spades}

to battle against Jimmy Nickens' pocket nines. Nickens' hand held up and he doubled to 220,000.

Next Emperador saw a flop of {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{5-Spades}

{7-Hearts}

with George Ramsey. Ramsey pushed with his pocket eights, but Emperador had flopped trips with his {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{5-Hearts}

. Ramsey couldn't improve, and he's out. Emperador now has 300,000.
