Obv that's the answer, but that's a hell of a read.

Unlike my girl's call with AJ vs TT, when she was short enough that a coinflip was pretty obv, TT's just ahead of so few hands in a dude's likely range in that spot. Seems like Gus had way too many chips to be flipping there.

He doesn't need to be ahead, he just needs 39% equity. (If, as the post says, he's calling $550K to make $1400K). Even if his opponent plays AK and overpairs only, Gus is at 33% equity already and almost there.

Also, I assume Gus is playing for first, unlike everyone else who is playing to make money, and even taking the worst of it to accumulate chips may be a good strategy for finishing first.
