Rockets and Cowboys

Aleksandr Mozhnyakov raised to 420,000 from the hijack seat, and Scott Schwalich flatted in the cutoff. From the button, Pius Heinz squeezed in a reraise to 1.125 million, and Mozhnyakov raised it up again to 1.7 straight -- which was actually too small to be a legal raise. In any event, Schwalich moved all in for 5.42 million over the top, Heinz folded, and Mozhnyakov made the call with the covering stack. Twelve-million-chip cooler!

Showdown
Mozhnyakov, {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}
Schwalich: {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades}

There was no funny stuff on the board that ran out {8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, and the big double goes over to Schwalich and his aces. He's in the top ten now, while Mozhnyakov tumbles all the way back to 1.38 million.
