AJ vs. AJ vs. AJ

The cutoff raised to 12,000 pre-flop, Thomas Nguyen called from the small blind and Noah Schwartz called from the big blind. The flop was {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. Schwartz bet 20,000 and Nguyen called. The cutoff tanked for a couple of minutes and moaned, "It hurts my stomach so bad to do this," before folding. Onto the turn, which was the {4-Diamonds}. Nguyen checked, Schwartz counted out a 40,000 bet and before he could make it, Nguyen said, "I'm going all in no matter what." Schwartz released the eight 5,000 chips into the pot and as promised, Nguyen moved all in for 87,500. Schwartz folded, and Nguyen showed {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} to the swarm of cameras around the table.

Though both Schwartz and the cutoff mucked their cards, BOTH claimed to have folded the same hand, A-J.

After the hand Nguyen was up to 265,000 while Schwartz was down to 76,000.
