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.

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.
