Smith's Stack Shrinking

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

We caught up with the action on a {2-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop, where Justin "Boosted J" Smith fired a bet of 1,200 from the cutoff. His lone opponent shoved all-in from the small for a little over 3k and Smith called, only to see he was in bad shape.

Smith: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Opponent: {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Smith would need to pair his cards to claim the pot, but the {7-Spades} turn and {A-Spades} river bricked, knocking Smith down to just 3,000.
