Kurtz Hits the Showers

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Kevin Kurtz limped in from early position and action folded around to Alex Smith, who completed his small blind. The big blind checked his option and the flop dropped {4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. Both blinds checked and Kurtz shoved all in for 39,000. Smith thought for a few moments and then called, prompting a fold from the big blind.

Kevin Kurtz: {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}
Alex Smith: {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Smith found himself way out in front after making the call with a middling top pair and was able to fade the two outer on the turn {k-Spades} and river {7-Spades} to win the pot, leaving Kurtz dry on chips nearing the end of Level 13.
