I wouldn't be so quick to call him a fish. Sick call, no doubt, and he knew that he was likely behind, but I think many of the pros feel like they need to build a big stack early if they're going to have any chance against such a huge field. Might as well bust out and go make money in the side games.

I think (correct me if I'm wrong) you miscalculated. He's the 2nd short-stack, so he's not entitled to the full pot, and therefore barely getting 3 to 1
