Makhija Pulls a Double

The first raise came from Amit Makhija, opening the pot to 115,000 from the button. That drew another three-bet from David Benefield, coming over the top to 300,000 once again. Makhija promptly shoved all in for 730,000, and Benefield called off the extra chips to put the dangerous Makhija at risk. Let's flip a coin, shall we?:
Makhija: 
Benefield: 
The flop was a beautiful sight for Makhija, coming down 
to give him the set and reduce Benefield's outs to just four. The turn 
was a safe blank, and so was the 
that landed on fifth street.
Tens full earn Makhija the double up, and he's clawed his way back to about 1.5 million, while Benefield is now the shortest stack in the room with 845,000.
