Through The Lens of Drew – 11 Hours and 225 Hands Decide the 2018 Main Event

When we reached the heads-up portion, I knew we were definitely in for a battle. What I did not know is that we were about to watch one of the most epic, and longest heads-up match in Main Event history. John Cynn and Tony Miles battled it out for over 10 hours of grueling poker.

Long-Time Chip Leader Michael Dyer Has No Regrets Exiting the Main Event in Third Place

Coming into three-handed play, Michael Dyer was far and away the shortest stack and in desperate need of a double. The first two hands off the deck Dyer moved all in, but neither time was called. Eventually Dyer stuck in his last 22 million holding ace-ten, but was unlucky to run into the ace-jack of Tony Miles. Dyer failed to improve and would hit the rail in third place, taking home $3,750,000.

Through The Lens of Drew – Dyer Dominates Day 1 of the Main Event Final Table

It was the Michael Dyer show on the first of three final table days. Dyer, only trailing Nic Manion to start the day, kept his foot on the gas and was extremely active during play. Now holding a massive chip lead with more than 150,000,000 chips, the next biggest stack smaller than 80,000,000. It will be interesting to see if Dyer's aggression will continue tomorrow, or if he will elect to take a back seat and let the other five players go to war.
