Default HSP: Benyamine vs. Esfandiari

This week's hand between Benyamine and Esfandiari was the best yet on HSP IMO. I have a strategy question re: this hand. Why did Benyamine just call Esfandiari's final turn raise instead of pushing. To me it was clear he was willing to get all his chips in in the hand, so why not push then? What advantage does calling give him?

I heard Negreneau say "now it makes sense why you just called" after the hand, but no reason was stated. The only thing I can think of in retrospect is that Benyamine was thinking if a scare (straight/flush) card came off on the river, he may not lose any more money if Esfandiari had a set or better two pair.
