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.
