Doyle is not going to get many more opportunities like this against Jamie. Remember, there is a long list of people wanting to get into this game, and the game itself rarely runs. This could very likely be the last big confrontation Doyle finds himself in against Jamie. You're acting like Doyle has all the time in the world to wait for better spots, he doesn't. Jamie could easily overplay another hand minutes later against somebody else and after he gets stacked he leaves. Now what? You'll have to wait until the next massive NL game runs sometime late next year, that is if Jamie can still afford to donk off six figures by then.

Jamie is not the only player at the table.

This only means something if indeed Doyle only has one buyin with him, which is extremely unlikely. Besides, we have seen people borrow hundreds of thousands from each other on the show, and I don't think anybody is going to have a problem loaning him money. From what I understand borrowing is a very common practice for high stakes live poker. Don't forget Doyle is also 75, it's not like he can put in crazy long sessions like he might have at 25. Point being that his time in this game is going to be very limited and there is no need for him to pass up a somewhat siginificant +EV spot. A 5 or 10 percent edge might not seem like much, but 5 percent of a million is $50k. Does it still seem so insignificant now?
