The Deck was Feeling Chilly...
The action was opened in middle position to about 600,000 by Joey Messina before Dustin Melanson three-bet to 1,425,000 as the next player to act. The remaining palyers folded and Messina called.
The 7♣2♥3♠ flop landed and without wasting much time, Messina moved all in for his last 4,000,000. Melanson snap called.
Joey Messina: K♠Q♦ 
Dustin Melanson: Q♥Q♠
Messina was going to need some help but was drawing to just three remaining outs. His rail called for the king and sure enough, the dealler burned and turned the K♥ to put Messina in an excellent position to double. The 8♥ river was a brick and although he had one foot out the door, Messina now sits healthy with the double. Melanson took a hit but still has plenty of chips to make an impact.
