Katsuragawa Yohei crushes with kings

Utg Ibarra Juanito defended his open vs big blind Katsuragawa Yohei’s three bet to 2,500. On flop 9♣ 6♠ 4♠ , both players found their stacks in the middle with Ibarra’s Q♥ Q♠ behind against Katsuragawa’s K♠ K♦ . Left drawing to two outs, Ibarra found himself out of the games shortly after the turn J♦ and river 2♣ failed to reveal a queen.
