Here's the payout:
1st place $611,145
2nd place - $329,975
3rd place - $202,790
4th place - $175,010

Here are the approximate chip stacks before the hand.
Mark Seif $1,750,000
Gazes $450,000
Nguyen $400,000
Kang $400,000

This information was pieced together from the Cardplayer live updates section.

This looks about right as far as the chip counts go as I remember 3rd and 4th being "tied" in money. This meant that either by folding OR calling, he was still guaranteed at least 3rd since one of them would be getting knocked out.

He played to win: if he found himself in that exact situation 1,000,000 times against the wide range of hands that could be making those plays that short-handed, he's definitely +EV to call.
