In a hand that carried over into the next level, Alex Smith was left short-stacked and busted right after the blinds went up.
First, Smith raised to 95,000 from under the gun, and Damian Salas three-bet to 235,000, which prompted Smith to four-bet to 550,000. Salas called. On the

turn. On the 
river, Smith took a long time before betting 550,000 with just about as much behind. Salas took equally long before announcing the call.
Smith mucked, and Salas let out a, "Come on," before raking in the pot. Other players on the table complained that the hand took very long and were unsure when to call the clock, as a significant portion of Smith's stack was up for grabs.
"And now we don't even get to see the hands," another player said.
Right after, the blinds went up, and Karen Sarkisyan raised from the small blind. Smith moved all in. Sarkisyan asked for a count and called once it was deemed to be for 630,000.
