Nathan Doudney took a tough beat on the river on his knockout hand, but last night he was down to 29,000 and all in against three other opponents. Had he lost that hand he would've won $38,236. But he didn't lose--he won that hand, and survived six other all in bets today to finish in 3rd for $260,261. That's a difference of $222,025, which, one could say, ain't too shabby.
