no, i understood that gavin had 1900. effective stacks were only 1100 tough, meaning he would be priced in to call a shove. assuming he makes a standard open raise to 300, gavin will be getting 1400:800 odds to call when his opponent shoves, or 1.75:1. this means that he can profitably call with any hand that has at leat 36.4% equity against villain's range. if we assume a very reasonable shoving range of {22+,A2+,KQ}, KJo has nearly 39% equity, so it's definitely a call.

gavin knows all this and realizes that given he's gonna be getting all in anyway if villain doesnt fold, it's a better play to maximize fold equity and just shove. his biggest mistake imo was not sucking out
