Michael \u2018The Monster\u2019 Dyer<\/strong> is dominating the World Series of Poker Main Event<\/strong><\/a> final table. The nickname comes from his friends Tristan Sweet<\/strong> and a female friend who prefers to be called \u2018Mo.\u2019<\/strong> The pair has known Dyer since 2012 when they met grinding cash games in Las Vegas from the $1\/$2 level to where they collectively are now.<\/p>\n

Sweet is a poker dealer at a major property on the Vegas Strip, and Mo now lives in Colorado. Their vibe fits in with Dyer\u2019s mum table presence. Dyer asked his friends and parents when they arrive to not cheer during hands.<\/p>\n

Mo sits on the rail behind black wayfarer sunglasses and politely declined to share her name with USPoker.com<\/em> or the ESPN production team.<\/p>\n

Meet \u2018The Monster\u2019<\/span><\/h2>\n

The empirical observation of Dyer as an introvert is confirmed by how Sweet and Mo describe him.<\/p>\n

Dyer lives in Las Vegas,\u00a0NV<\/strong><\/a> and plays poker online. The time spent in the lab led to this moment, according to his friends. The aggressive style was cultivated through hours and hours of experimenting for a moment like the Main Event. Dyer played other tournaments this summer but did not cash. The variance now breaks his way at the best time.<\/p>\n

Since acquiring chips, Dyer has bulldozed opponents and won huge all-ins despite not having the best of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s the money at all,\u201d Mo said. \u201cIt\u2019s the performance. He wants to be able to see how his game stacks up against a massive field.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s worth pointing out that he\u2019s been working on his style for a decade, something like that,\u201d Sweet added. \u201cFor him, this is his moment to test it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Main Event is the final exam for all poker players and Dyer is flourishing. Per his friends, Dyer is playing with 100 percent of his own action<\/strong>. $6,000 of his tournament buy-in was accumulated through lammers won in sit-and-gos run at the Rio this summer.<\/p>\n
