If he felt he wasn't good enough to outplay his opponents, then it was a good call. otherwise, the call seems shaky at best. He had to figure that the best case scenario has him at about a 30-35 percent to win the hand. That is if one player had 44 and another had AQ.

So by calling, he is saying that he knows he will probably lose the hand, but that the gamble to obtain a big chip advantage was worth the risk. Not exactly, the way i would want to go out, knowing that i am that far behind.

If he stays out of the hand he is asssured 3rd place and would have 400,000 chips compared to his opponents at approx 800,000 and 1.7mill. Not exactly a good position, but not awful. Not nearly bad enough to risk your entire tournament life, when you know you will likely lose.
