We are just a few hands in, but we have already suffered our first casuality of the day: David Benyamine. He came into the day with 13,400 chips, but those are all gone after he ran into Mikhail Smirnov. Benyamine raised in middle position, and Smirnov put in a third bet in the small blind. Benyamine called, and they took a flop of 
. Smirnov quickly bet and Benyamine quickly called. The same occured on the 
turn, and the players saw the 
hit the river. Smirnov bet again, and this time Benyamine raised. Smirnov didn't slow down though, and put in a three bet that put Benyamine all in. He called, and flipped over 
for a rivered pair of queens, but Smirnov had 
for an overpair. Benyamine left the table, and Smirnov collected the chips to up his stack to 105,000.
