Tactical Blunder in the Budapest

I was studying the new Budapest Rook line, w/ a5 and Ra6. Here black decided to deviate from the main line and I found a neat tactics puzzle where black blunders. See if you can find it. At first I was surprised to see the game end after 23 moves, wondering why black would resign, and then saw white's best response after a few moments.

The final move is a difficult one to find, but it definitely ends all chances for black.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Black actually resigns immediately after 23... Bd5

Here is the game in full.
