This is the really interesting part from a psychology perspective. Maximizing his chance of a positive result was more important to him than maximizing the EV of his hand. If he checks, I bet at least $200 and make a crying call of his shove and he's in playing a 1.5k pot with top set!
Obviously the more important part is, would you have hit it?
In live play I am seeing more and more of this shoving huge with the nuts type thing. I really don't understand it.
