Kicker Joy For Smith

Limit Hold'em:

Another short-stacker fighting hard to stay alive is Justin Smith, who recently doubled up in a hand of Limit Hold'em.

Smith raised preflop from under the gun with Hasan Habib making the call out of the big blind.

They saw a flop of {7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Habib led out with a bet with Smith calling off the last of his chips.

Smith: {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}
Habib: {Q-Hearts}{3-Spades}

It was the old queen-high versus queen-high clash, with queen-high winning when the {5-Spades} turn and {9-Spades} river completed the board. Smith's jack kicker played and he doubled to 55,000 to find a pulse once again in this tournament.
