Naoya Kihara raised to 1,000 in early position and the small blind called. Clinton Branchen then three-bet to 3,000 in the big blind, Kihara moved all in, and the small blind folded. Branchen, though, quickly called off his last 15,000.
Clinton Branchen: K♦K♠ 
Naoya Kihara: A♦Q♥
Branchen had woken up with kings and was a favorite to double up as the flop came 3♠2♥3♥. The rest of the board came 9♥5♣ and Branchen doubled up.
