It was a bloody affair when David Bach and Max Heinzelmann were all in late ... Bach holding kings, Heinzelmann aces - with his tournament life on the line.
Bach got there ... but he didn't hit a king, he actually drew four cards to hit a flush - terrible way for our Day 4 "player to keep an eye on" Max Heinzelmann - he goes from Top 10 to out of the tournament in a few hours.
Bach, the 2009 50K H.O.R.S.E. WSOP Championship (now known as the Poker Player's Championship), is looking to solidify his legacy on the poker circuit - he goes into today's Day 6 play with the chip lead.
We were introduced to Pius Heinz earlier on Day 5 - he had the chip lead going into the dinner break - and now sits second, only a few antes behind Bach.
Kyle Johnson's late surge has him third on the board, while Phil Collins and WSOP POY candidate - the red-hot - Ben Lamb is still in it to win, placing fifth after Day 5 play.
Here is a list of notable players with at least 1M in chips...

It wasn't all roses on Saturday - Kevin Saul, who had a serious chip stack for days now, wasn't able to keep the momentum going, he was eliminated prior to the dinner break on Saturday.
Also gone is the man who held the chip lead heading into Saturday's play, Manoj Viswanathan - didn't take long for him to lose the chip and suffer elimination. Popular pro Daniel Negreanu also bowed out on Saturday.
