Default Would you call this bet?

Let's say you're in a super satellite to a major tournament. Assume you would not buy in to the tournament if you don't win your seat.

You have a big stack and you are guaranteed to fold your way into the money. Only one more player has to bust, and several short stacks will be all-in on the very next hand.

A big stack that has you covered pushes in. Everyone folds to you. You have AA in the big blind. So you have a 100% shot if you fold and a 80% shot if you call. Does anyone call here, just for the action?

Note: I know the correct EV play is to fold. But would anyone call, just for the sake of gambling?
