From early position, Artan Dedusha opened for 4,000. Small blind Dan Smith three-bet to 14,000 and the big blind folded. Dedusha wasn't doing the same, he called in position.

Smith bet 13,000 on the {4-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop and 20,000 on the {10-Spades} turn. Dedusha called rather quickly both times. The {6-Clubs} on the river completed the board and Smith shoved. Dedusha had a big decision with about 40,000 or so behind.

As Smith slid forward the large tower of chips to put his opponent all in, the PokerStars live stream cameras swarmed in and started taping the scene. The two camera teams attracted onlookers from other tables which made for a bit of a crowded situation for a hand not even all that big or exceptional.

"No pressure," Moreira de Melo said with a sense of irony. With the red lights of the cameras still on, the microphones precisely positioned above the table and more and more people watching, things didn't get any easier for Dedusha.

To make matters worse, Moreira de Melo started offering people water since she was getting some anyway. Dedusha pondered some more and by the time Moreira de Melo had made sure the entire table was hydrated enough, Dedusha announced his call.

Smith revealed {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} which was good enough to take down the sizable pot. Dedusha mucked {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and made his way to the exit.
