Super Laydown, although the all in did rightly suggest either a super hand or air - and given the laydowner had only a straight (LOL, heads up 'ONLY' a straight) the fold was the right option.
I was watching that and thought if the guy with the full house had have said something, anything, it may have helped get a call.

it becomes better than good because it was during heads up play where relative hand strengths are massively lower, and because after he folded he only had 20% of the chips, but managed to claw back and win.
difference between first and second was about a million too.
thats what makes it better than just a good laydown
