Relatively unknown Manoj Viswanathan is your surprise chip leader as the bubble busted during Day 4 play at the WSOP Main Event.
Viswanathan's only known live cash was a 25th place finish at the LAPT's San Jose Tour stop back in May of 2008. Viswanathan is the only player with a chip count north of 2 million chips. All eyes will be on him on Saturday, as we see if this run is for real.
Kevin Saul and Ben Lamb, who had both been dominating for the past few days, both suffered a setback on Day 4 - Saul enters today's play in trouble with 690K in chips while Lamb is still close to the leaders, starting the day with 1.26M chips.
Max Heinzelmann, who sits T-25th on the PTPR Tournament Player of the Year Leaderboard, is one name to look at today. Heinzelmann has collected over 1.5M USD this season in two back-to-back runner-up finishes at EPT Berlin and EPT San Remo and has been trending up, collecting chips on Day 4 - he's currently 10th in chips.
We have 378 players remaining - coming back today at the Rio - here are the most notable top chip counts:
Manoj Viswanathan 2,115,000
Sam Barnhart 1,925,000
Max Heinzelmann 1,672,000
