Smith Stuck In Neutral

The last time we walked by Justin Smith, he had just been a victim of the Aces vs Kings cooler, and had dropped down to 11,000. Well he was able to build that back up a bit, but has just lost a pot that has seen his stack fall to...10,500. When we arrived, Smith was heads up with another player on a {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. His opponent had bet out 3,000, and Smith was shuffling some chips together, but he was not thinking about just calling. Smith stacked most of his chips together, and slid them into the middle. His opponent thought for a few moments before calling the rest of his stack off, about 8,000 more. The cards were flipped, and Smith would have to draw out.

Smith: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Opponent: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Smith had the nut flush draw, but his opponent had already made a lower flush. The {4-Hearts} gave him no help, and the {q-Hearts} wasn't much help either. Smith shipped the chips over, then immediately went back to typing on his phone, as is his usual post big hand tradition.
