Ikkyo Into Tembin or Shiho-Nage

Here is one I have seen but haven't tried yet. But I want to make some notes right away lest I forget all about it.

Tori goes for ikkyo but fails to get it. Uke is resisting. Tori doesn't get enough of uke's elbow so uke remains a little too upright with the elbow noticably above the wrist. Tori lets his grip on uke's wrist shift a bit and lets the other hand drop behind and beneath the elbow (as opposed to trying to force the elbow down). Tori extends and enters right into tembin-nage or, possibly meeting other resistance, pivots tenkai into shiho-nage ura.
