I can't think of anything good that would come out of using the job offer to try and strong arm the current company to give her a raise.
If it's a good offer take it

Yellowfin is right.
The current job obviously doesn't respect her as they haven't come through on the original promise. How do you think they are going to treat her once she basically threatens them with this deal? GTFO or shut her mouth and keep working.

It's just a function of demand. If she gets a good offer from this other company, it's proof she is in demand and worth more than what she is working for. Either her company ignores that and she walks, or her company recognizes the new value of their employee and ups her salary to keep her. If she is important to the company, they will match it, and business will go on as usual. If not, then she will leave, but hopefully she is civil in the matter and doesnt burn any bridges over it. But if she burns a bridge, oh well, they treated her like shite and didnt recognize her value, so they wouldnt in the future either

It's business, not personal. I don't think it's that wrong to say "Look, I really enjoy my job here. I would like to stay. However there's another job offering me x amount more than here. Is there any possibility that you'd be willing to raise me salary to keep me here?"
Make it a business decision and not a personal one, and everyone usually stays a lot calmer and nicer.

This is the right answer. Holding someone over the desk until they sign your new compensation package is no way to keep your current company happy with you.
I've done it and refused the offer to match after I tendered my resignation / two weeks. I told them that if they didn't think I was worth X amount when I asked for it, that there is no real reason they would suddenly think I was, so I just left.
Gained a lot of respect and have had them try to get me back a few times now.
