The reason he didn't move all in is because that's the worst possible thing he could do. I don't know the Ted Forrest hand you're talking about but just judging by the holdings and the board that is not even close to the same thing.

First, I really doubt that, although I could be talking out of my ass. Second of all, what king do you put Ferguson on after the previous action?

Maybe your right, but I think if the stack sizes were right (which I dont know if they were) a push may not be that bad

the thing is that ferguson will only call a push with either an ace or a king. Stacks definitely weren't deep enough for him to fold a king. So by pushing prahlad achieves at best a split. So he's either splitting or losing. This makes the all-in raise -EV.
