Smith Sirisakorn has been running over his table during today's first level, scooping the vast majority of the pots he contests. Sirisakorn recently took down a four-way stud hi-lo hand, forcing three folds with a bet on fifth street. He's now approaching the 1M-chip mark.

Semin: /
While Semin had a strong hand, it was a frustrating showdown for him. Semin's full house was topped by Sorgen's, and the Russian player had only a thin chance to escape the damage. Semin hoped for the remaining five, but he peeled another river card instead, leaving Sorgen with a double.
