If such a thing existed, it would go to Mr. Smith - albeit not without reason. Smith saw the flop with Daniel Negreanu and big blind Stanislav Alekhin (who, the hand before had taken down a good few chips flopless after reraising from the small blind).

Flop: {10-Spades} {5-Hearts} {7-Hearts} Everybody checked.
Turn: {6-Spades} Check to Smith, who bet what looked like 75,000. Over to Negreanu, who considered for what turned out to be a comparatively short while before moving all in. Alekhin passed, but Smith now sat for upwards of five minutes, hands clasped.

At first Negreanu made some effort at chatting, but after a while just sat there, resting head on hand, staring into the middle distance. Other players at the table got up and stretched their legs, or stared at what was going on on the other table, but all Smith did was say, "That's a really big bet." It was 200,000 more for him to call - an amount which makes a considerable difference. Just when it looked like the whole table was going to drift off, literally, he passed, and Negreanu stacked his new chunkier stack.
