McNicholas and Okamoto Split

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

While Jeff Platt was interviewing the current chip leader Giovanni Zanette, Michael McNicholas limped from the small blind and called after Shiina Okamoto in the big blind raised to 85,000.

Both players checked a board of A95Q leading to the 9 river.

McNicholas bet small and Okamoto snap-called with Q3. McNicholas had Q8 so they split the pot.
