Level 34 comes to an end, and there is a brief break to color up the blue 25K chips. The final seven players asked to look at the ICM numbers for a possible deal, so we had time to get exact chip counts:

Seat 1.  Zachary Fischer  –  16,900,000  (42 bb)
Seat 2.  Sebastian Toro Henao  –  10,500,000  (26 bb)
Seat 3.  Atanas Pavlov  –  17,600,000  (44 bb)
Seat 4.  Abraham Ramos  –  21,700,000  (54 bb)
Seat 5.  Femi Fashakin  –  11,900,000  (30 bb)
Seat 6.  David Frenkel  –  9,400,000  (24 bb)
Seat 7.  Joel Gossett  –  12,400,000  (31 bb)

They weren’t able to agree to a deal, so the original payouts are still at stake:

1st:  $252,680 + Showdown Trophy
2nd:  $175,000
3rd:  $130,000
4th:  $100,000
5th:  $73,000
6th:  $56,000
7th:  $42,500

Level 35 begins with increased blinds of 200,000-400,000 and a 400,000 ante. With seven players remaining from a field of 4,017, the average chip stack is around 14,350,000 (36 big blinds).
