Section 2.2. says:

 Figure 3 shows a pair of handshakes in which the first handshake
   establishes a PSK and the second handshake uses it:
 
          Client                                               Server
 
   Initial Handshake:

It should say:

   establishes a PSK and the second handshake uses it:

Notes:

The pre_shared_key requires the pre_share_key extension.
