Default Main Event Hand

This hand has been bugging me for a while and after seeing it again wanted to hear some opinions. Stack sizes may be a little off but close.

7 handed blinds 30/60k 10k antes
Jaime Gold raises utg+1 to 400k (I have only played with Gold for a few hours the day before and when he had overbet big he had a big hand)

Prahlad pushes for 1.4mil folded to me with 1.9mil and pocket 10's

In 3 places the money jumps 250k.

Fold or push?
If I push, Gold has to call 1.5 mil for a pot of about 4mil. Would he fold?

Friedman's push seems questionable given he doesn't have that much FE. He obviously made the currect read. He may have thought he had FE. Also, he may have read the table correctly given TT folds. The play seems maniacal, but he got the money in ahead with pot odds.

The guy with TT maybe should push. He has reason to fear he was dominated from the early popsition action. However, his opponents were both notorious LAGs, and the pattern big stack raises, short stack pushes made their hands suspect.
