Dee Friedman Doubles Thru Ryan Welch; Welch Eliminated

Dee Friedman raises under the gun to 900, Ryan Welch reraises UTG+1 to 1,800, and Friedman calls.

The flop comes [Qh8h8c], Friedman bets 3,000, Welch moves all in, and Friedman calls all in for 15,250 with [AcAh]. Welch turns over [AdQs] (two pair, queens and eights), and Friedman needs her higher two pair to hold to stay alive.

The turn card is the [Jc], the river card is the [3s], and Dee Friedman wins the pot with two pair, aces and eights, to double up in chips.

Dee Friedman  –  34,500  (86 bb)
Ryan Welch  –  7,275  (18 bb)

Update: Welch was eliminated about 10 minutes after this hand.
