Swapping Stacks

Under the gun, Evgeniy Zaytsev opened to 28,000, and Andreas Eiler three-bet to 60,000 a couple seats over. Zaytsev made the call, and the flop came out {9-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {10-Clubs}. Zaytsev checked it over, and Eiler slid out a stack of yellows for a bet of 100,000. His opponent put his hands behind his chip stacks and slid all 362,000 of them forward. Eiler let out a sound of frustration but quickly made the call with the covering stack. Cards on their backs, gents:

Zaytsev: {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}
Eiler: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}

"Oh, I'm drawing dead," said Eiler astutely. Except that he wasn't exactly drawing dead. The turn {Q-Diamonds} made that very clear as it gave him plenty of outs for the come-from-behind win. The river blanked off with the {6-Clubs} though, and that secures the double up for Zaytsev. He's all the way up close to 900,000, while Eiler has fallen all the way back around 400,000.
