Cut Ikken-Tobi
The diagram shows what happens if White cuts the ikken tobi in abscence of supporting stones. (Black can of course play 4 at 5.) Black 6 threatens a shicho at a, but Black may well play 6 differently depending on the board. In general, White will struggle to keep both 1+3 and 5 alive. This is why in general, Do not try to cut ikken-tobi.
Here, the ikken tobi is reinforced by Black 1, and can no longer be cut. (after the sequence a - d White cannot cut) BQM52 has some more information about cutting the Ikken Tobi in connection with walls.
