Daniel would have had more chips left if he didn't raise with 4 high, call the $10K re-raise with 4 high, and then call $35K after the flop with bottom pair (deuces). That was $50K wasted.

Once again, results oriented. Doyle could have had any number of non-king hands there that Daniel's flop call would have frozen out.
We all know it's not generally smart to call big raises preflop with 42s, but Daniel knows how to play position and he knows his opponents. Plus, it's part of his meta-game strategy. I think he takes that pot away after the flop (or hits) enough times to make it okay for him to play.
