You don't know what kind of position this guy was in. 167k might solve a lot of problems in his life and he wanted to be 100% sure that he got it. Nothing wrong with that.

I watched it for the first time last night (at gfs, I dont get cable) and I am now stupider. Nothing like a game show with no skill required.

Although when he had the 500k and the $300 bucks left, they offered in 250k, which was slightly -ev.

Guy has 1/3 equity in $500k, doesn't he? How is taking 1/3 of that wrong?

He Didn't take the deal. Opted to gamble and risk losing everything with no EV advantage, plus the risk premium you'd have to consider with a life changing amount of money on the table. This is what blew me away.
