I don't know if you are joking, but against anyone else (with similar stack sizes) I think Daniel makes this laydown pretty easily.

No. Daniel isn't able to laydown big hands in this game (the deeb hand in season 1 comes to mind).

didn't he lay down the nut flush to todd brunsons bluff?

Yes and many of us didn't agree with that considering the relatively small amount of money it would have been for him to call and the price he was getting. I can't fault him for not laying down his full house here. He knew he was probably going to lose when he made the call to Gus's check raise but the money was just too much at that point. These guys play on a much higher level than we do and there are other things going on that have to be taken into account like their rep among the other players. Daniel just can't lay that hand down for the small-ish (for him, not us) amount left to call. Sure, to us calling $167,000 would be unbelievable but the pot was so big there it was going to be a call no matter what.
