'Chocolate Chips'
During the break, the Tournament Director decided to colour-up some of the chips on the final table.
On the table we now have the famous Crown Chocolate chips worth 25,000 each. Why Chocolate chips you may ask? Well besides the chocolate-like colour they also look very similar to a chocolate biscuit.
With 675,000 worth of these chips on the table, let's hope it speeds things up a little!

We're already 10 minutes into play in this level and already we are seeing the continuation of the previous level's play.
The players are playing extremely tight and passive with only one flop seen so far.
Most normal six-handed tournaments are mostly about three-betting, four-betting and outplaying each other, but in this case it seems like it's a battle of survival!
