Ichinose Cracks Kings
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
A large pot was brewing in a hand between Kosei Ichinose and two other players. Action picked up on the turn with one short-stacked player already all-in, and about 125,000 in the main pot.
With roughly 85,000 in the side pot, and the board reading 3♥5♦10♠4♦, Ichinose's opponent bet enough to put him all-in for his last 77,000. Ichinose made the call.
Short-stacked player: 9♥9♣ 
Ichinose: Q♦10♦
Opponent: K♦K♣
The river brought the 7♦, and Ichinose's flush awarded him both the main and side pots.
