: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Elie Saad has been quite active in the first half hour of day 5. He raised a couple of times and just opened again.
He made it 55,000 to go, only to see Louis Cartarius throw in a three-bet. From the small blind, the German popped it up to 160,000. It was back to Saad, who raised it up once more, making it 380,000.
Cartarius couldn't stand the heat and threw his hand in the muck.
In the next hand, Mats Karlsson raised from first position. He made it 60,000, only to see Saad raise to 160,000. Karlsson called and the two saw the 
flop.
Karlsson checked to his neighbor and folded immediately when Saad slid out some chips for a bet.
