Believe it or not, my folding equity increases x 10 by pushing here. Everyone knows I would fold my last 500 to a reraise.

I dont quite understand this because if you had bet 300 and every folds, which I assume you had hoped, then you would have risked less to win the pot and not risked your whole tournament. Also, lets say you had bet 300 and got re-raised all-in by the straight.. then you fold and you still have 500 and a chair. Am I wrong here?

Think about what hands would be able to call Giga's allin and how many would be able to come over the top if he only bet 300...therein lies the answer. Now crunch some numbers and see if it's riskier to bet 300 there or to push.

Any hand can/will raise him if he bets 300. Only a select few can call him there.
