Doyle had 33 IIRC. It's a bad call because 33 is a coinflip or a big dog against any hand that doesn't include a 2 or 3, and the call is very -EV vs PA's shoving range. Doyle probably realised his skill edge was small or non-existant and was happy to take a coinflip.

Well, recognize that this hand has been taken out of context. That is, maybe PA's shove range at this point had broadened? I'm not sure what Brunson was thinking at that point, or how he was reading PA, but you can't deny that in fact, Brunson had the better hand the whole way and PA was just drawing, yet it was PA who'd shoved.
