Smirin and A.Greenfeld drew and have 2.5 each. Smirin was probably conserving strength for his game against Kasaparov today (he drew). Apologies to Eli Vovsha for misspelling his name. I'm also wrong about his age, he's 13 not 11. I was watching this game after black's move 28 and wondered why white is not resigning. Black missed some chances, but finally blew at on his 29th move.
