Branchen Picks Up Kings to Dent Kihara's Big Stack

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

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: KK All in
Naoya Kihara: AQ

Branchen had woken up with kings and was a favorite to double up as the flop came 323. The rest of the board came 95 and Branchen doubled up.
