The blue 25K chips were colored up during the break, and the 500K plaques have been introduced into play. (Running deep enough in a big tournament to play with plaques should be on the bucket list of every poker player.)

The players return from break to begin Level 35, with increased blinds of 200,000-400,000 and a 400,000 big blind ante. With seven players remaining, the average chip stack is about 9.2 million (23 big blinds). Here are the official chip counts, followed by the remaining prizepool at stake:
