I hope you realise this call is terrible unless he's pushing literally any two. Anything below 96% you lose $EV by calling, assuming you want the normal 0.5% edge

I've begun to think otherwise, although I've never acted on it with a hand of this calibre. If hero folds here, he has less than 5 BBs. Furthermore, there is a ginormous equity transfer here by folding. This hand is one of the more important dog fights for third place because of the players involved. It is one of the battles that affects hero's prize pool equity the most.

For argument's sake, I don't think this is that terrible of a call, particularly if blinds are increasing.
