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.

Both remaining players checked the J? turn leading to the 4? river. Kersey bet 5,000 and after taking a minute to consider his decision Galfond made the call.
Kersey tabled a full house with 9?5? and Galfond mucked.
