Welch Doesn't Sweat a Double

Ryan Welch called from the big blind after Sergey Lebedev opened for 54,000. The board was three well-connected middle cards, {6-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}. Welch led into Lebedev for 100,000, then pushed all in for 894,000 after Lebedev raised to 270,000. Lebedev quickly called with top pair, {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, but had to sweat the double draw of Welch's {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. The {3-Hearts} immediately hit the turn, improving Welch to the nut flush and leaving Lebedev drawing dead. He paid off the double-up after the river came {7-Clubs}.
