Saad Sees Through Dohler's Bluff
Level 23
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Elie Saad raised to 55,000 in the small blind and Bastian Dohler defended his big blind. Saad continued with 55,000 on 
, Dohler raised to 130,000, and Saad called.
On the 
turn, Saad checked, Dohler bet 150,000, and Saad called again.
The river 
completed both straight and flush draws. Saad checked and Dohler emptied the clip. This time, the German Spin & Go qualifier bet 200,000. It took Saad two minutes, but eventually he counted out the call.
Bastian Dohler: 
Elie Saad: 
"Nice call," muttered the German, whose total airball with queen-high got called by second pair. Dohler had to ship half his stack to his Lebanese neighbor.
In the hand afterwards, Saad snapped off a bluff from Dominik Panka as well and now sits around 1,8 million in chips.
