Welman Gets Some Help From a Flopped Straight

We had multiple limpers in this pot as the flop came {a-}{j-}{10-}. When post-flop betting began, a player in early position led out with 200 with the player next to act bumping it up to 650. The next seat was occupied by Jessica Welman who three-bet to 1,450. Action folded around to the player on Welman's right, who called.

A {7-} came on the turn and Welman shoved for about 3,100, getting a call.

Welman: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-}{10-}

The river was an {8-} allowing Welman's straight to hold and her chip stack to increase to 10,500.
