Daniel was trying to represent an overpair - everything he did in the hand was consistent with that.

Except for betting the river; what overpair bets that river?
Likewise, Gus isn't check-raising the trip 5s or the straight on the river, and he's probably betting a lot more than 24k on the turn with trip 5s.

Now, whether or not anyone could make that fold in the heat of battle is a different question, but when Daniel makes the large river bet Gus almost certainly has 99 or 55 to c-r all in.

This is a very good post. DN did play that hand exactly like he had an overpair except for the river. He should have asked himself why Gus would then be check raising. Unfortunately for Daniel there was too much money in that pot for him to seriously consider folding at that point but he knew he was going to be beat. You could see it by the way he put his chips in.
