Problem Statement

Let ABC ABC be a triangle with incenter I I and let Γ \Gamma be a circle centered at I I, whose radius is greater than the inradius and does not pass through any vertex. Let X1 X_{1} be the intersection point of Γ \Gamma and line AB AB, closer to B B; X2 X_{2}, X3 X_{3} the points of intersection of Γ \Gamma and line BC BC, with X2 X_{2} closer to B B; and let X4 X_{4} be the point of intersection of Γ \Gamma with line CA CA closer to C C. Let K K be the intersection point of lines X1X2 X_{1}X_{2} and X3X4 X_{3}X_{4}. Prove that AK AK bisects segment X2X3 X_{2}X_{3}.
