I wasn't paying quite as close attention as I should've at the time
(hey it was a Sunday!), but I believe Kotonowaka was going to receive
the gino-sho if he'd won on senshuraku.  But he lost, so nothing came
his way.  He was definitely going to get a san-sho, I'm just not sure
if it was indeed the gino-sho.  Seemed like it, as he was winning by
some great moves.
