Wow, did you just intentionally ignore the specific and important extenuating circumstances on purpose? LOL. Of course he pushes, or re-raises if it's a normal, typical tournament structure but in a satellite in this situation it's clearly incorrect.

I would call and try to flop a set then fold when i missed and continue to wait out the shorties. Only reason i would call is because all it takes is the short stacks to get lucky a couple times and the blinds to come through you a couple until you're the short stack, and flopping a set and doubling through here would ensure a seat; folding doesn't ensure it. But it's obviously between fold or call.
