David Nathaniel

Nothing went right for David Nathaniel from the very start of the three-handed Day 3 final table. He was quickly down to 255,000 at the hands of Shaun Davis and was all in for that stack against him again.

Nathaniel: AsAc
Davis: AdKc

“Nice hand,” Davis told Nathaniel.

“We’ll see,” Nathaniel replied.

The bad news for Nathaniel started on the all-diamond Kd8d4d flop. The 7d turn wasted no time and Nathaniel was eliminated in third place after the 8c river.
