On blinds of 6,000/12,000/12,000, Danton Ford opened to 35,000 from under the gun and Dhillon Reddy called from the small blind.
Ford and Reddy went heads up to the flop of A♦7♣2♥. Reddy check-called Ford's continuation of 35,000.
The K♥ on the turn checked through.
Reddy led out for 100,000 on the 3♠ river. Ford gave it some thought and asked to see Reddy's stack. Reddy seemed committed to the pot and Ford found a fold.
Players are approaching their first break of the day with Ford leading the 92-player field.
