Giuliano Bendinelli limped in from the button and Zdenek Zizka made it 2,100,000 from the big blind. Bendinelli shoved for 14,650,000, and Zizka quickly called.
Giuliano Bendinelli: A♥2♥
Zdenek Zizka: A♦J♠
Bendinelli was way behind and looking for some help, but didn't really find it on the A♣5♣8♥ flop. An 8♠ on the turn put Zizka within touching distance of the bracelet, but a K♦ on the river meant they chopped it up.

On the first hand of heads-up play, Giuliano Bendinelli moved all in for 7,925,000 on the button and Zdenek Zizka called.
Giuliano Bendinelli: 6♠6♥
Zdenek Zizka: A♣10♣
Zizka had a chance to secure the bracelet if he could win this flip, but his odds suddenly became long when the 6♣4♣4♠ flop gave Bendinelli a full house. The A♠ turn gave Zizka a glimmer of hope, but he instead got the 7♣ on the river to make a no-good flush as Bendinelli doubled up right away.

Players are now taking a short break to prepare for heads-up play.
Oleh Okhotskyi shoved the button for 7,100,000 and Zdenek Zizka called from the small blind.
Oleh Okhotskyi: 4♠4♥
Zdenek Zizka: A♥Q♥
Okhotskyi had the sailboats, and needed them to deliver a double-up otherwise his chances of winning a bracelet would be washed up. A flop of Q♦J♥Q♠ was not a good start for him as Zizka made trips.
The 2♠ turn left Okhotskyi with one shot at two outs, but it was Zizka who improved as he made quads on the Q♣ river to bring play down to heads up.
