The Same, but Different
Level 15
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Action folded to Nacho Barbero in the small blind, and he moved all in for 280,000, which Taylor von Kriegenbergh in the big blind quickly called to put Barbero at risk.
Nacho Barbero: A♥J♦ 
Taylor von Kriegenbergh: A♦J♥
Both players in the blinds woke up with ace-jack, both holding a heart and a diamond. With a chop seeming inevitable, the A♠6♥4♥ flop meant Barbero was free rolling with the better back-door heart draw. The 5♥ made things even more interesting, and the 10♥ on the river brought home the ace-high flush, giving Barbero the double-up.
