Houston resident Michael Dyer was eliminated Saturday in third place. After busting out, Dyer said he might consider entering a couple more live tournaments, but feels more comfortable playing online.

“I wanted a little more, but it was pretty good. I can’t complain. Third place, that’s more than you can dream for when you start the tournament,” said Dyer, who won $3.75 million.
