Nathan Doudney - 4th Place
Nathan Doudney - 4th Place
Nathan Doudney opened with a button raise to 120,000. After a pause for effect, John Duthie announced that he was all in, and Doudney quickly made the call to put his tournament life on the line.

Showdown
Doudney: {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds}
Duthie: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}

There was a pot in progress on the other end of the table, and Leo Wolpert said, "I'm gonna fold so I can sweat this hand." A crowd of spectators pressed in around the table as the dealer ran out the board:

{9-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {6-Clubs} {2-Hearts}

Failing to improve, Nathan Doudney becomes our 4th-place finisher. He put up a valiant effort today, but there was just no stopping John Duthie. Duthie ran with the chip lead from wire to wire, executing a truly flawless heads-up victory with nary a slip-up. For his efforts, he will be rewarded with a spot at tomorrow's final showdown.

Doudney was supported on the rail by a laundry list of notable faces, including Erick Lindgren, Gavin Smith, David Chiu, Daniel Alaei, JC Tran, Chris Bell, and Peter Feldman. For his work over the last three days, he's going to stop by the payout desk to pick up $214,289. Not too shabby.
