According to Harav Hagaon R. Chaim Kanievsky Zt"l,

If someone was thirsty at the end of his meal, and waited to drink water till after ברכת המזון, he must Bentch again ברכת המזון * (דאורייתא)
He must Bentch again
ברכת המזון
Based on the מרדכי who holds if you are thirsty at the end of the meal and Bentch then your Benching was only מדרבנן.
Therefore, Reb Chaim holds, after you Bentched if you drink a glass of water you are now מחויב מן התורה to Bentch (again).

The first Bentching doesn't count since it was only a דרבנן Bentching.
Mori V'Rabi Harav Hagaon
Reb Shlomo Miller Shlita
argues on Reb Chaim
and holds there is no need to repeat the ברכת המזון after drinking the water.
*see Rema O.Ch. 197:4
