Why would you fold the Ak in that last spot but call here. Granted, by the time action is back at you you're pot committed and getting a ridiculous price, but your J high flush draw is never good, and if you do hit your flush, you have to worry about 3 higher flushes. No one is folding Ax preflop in these free rolls, which includes the Ah. Theres only one card, the 9h, that you could consider making your hand the best, and it's extremely lucky you hit it.
You fold when you have AT LEAST 13 outs in that spot with AK,, but call drawing to 1? Obviously you can't know that someone had flopped a flush, and that it is the BRM free roll, but this is such a bad spot in comparison to your last post about the AK fold, just doesn't make a lot of sense.
But it is a free roll so I dunno you can do whatever you want anyway.

Nice catch. Proves again, that not only the villains hit their miracle cards on the river. But the times we hit, we forget about it in no time, but maybe a straight flush lasts longer in memory.
