Nice. That just shows that antpool's various servers aren't synchronised till after the blocks are found. Their SPV mining didn't save them from themselves even on this occasion, and all the servers were within the great firewall so they can't even blame that.

I think I recall a big pool doing this to itself many years ago once before... can't remember who it was.

Yea it can happen.  Different miners mining on different nodes on the same pool find the block at the same time.
