Giuliano Bendinelli: K♦8♦ 
Zdenek Zizka: A♦J♠
Zizka hit top pair on the A♣6♦5♥ flop to take a big lead and it appeared that the tournament would finally be ending with the clock pushing 6 a.m. local time.
The J♦ fell on the turn, but Bendinelli spiked the 4♦ on the river to make a running flush as he doubled up into the chip lead.
