Cohen vs. Benefield in 1.25 Million Pot

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

David Benefield opened for 30,000 from the hijack and Sam Cohen pushed back with a three-bet to 90,000 from the button. Action folded back to Benefield and he asked how much Cohen had started the hand with, which was roughly 625,000. Benefield thought for awhile before four-betting to 225,000 or so, and Cohen instantly moved all in. Benefield didn't seem excited but dropped in some chips nonetheless.

Cohen: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Benefield: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The {2-Clubs}{a-Spades}{10-Spades} flop gave both players a set, meaning had the hand played out differently the chips would more than likely have gotten in one way or another. Neither the {Q-Spades} turn nor {5-Clubs} river were the one outer Benefield was looking for, and Cohen made her way to the rail to celebrate with her supporters, which includes Tristan Wade.
