Melanson's Quest For Back to Back Survives on River
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Shortly after losing lots of his stack, Dustin Melanson was all in for 730,000.
Dustin Melanson: K?6? 
Hussein Hassan: 4?4?
The flop came J?2?9?. The turn was the 7?. Melanson clapped his hands as the card was dealt as if asking for the river to hit him and that it did as the K? came off to keep his chance of repeating as champion alive.
