Haven't seen this yet, but a couple of things come to mind.
 
One is that Cantu is a loose, aggressive player.  He knows that his opponents know this, and that they should be shoving a wider range of hands against him.
 
Which leads to the second point - this doesn't [I]have[/I] to be aces.  Obviously he's a long way behind big pairs, and he's probably not calling if that's all the villain could possibly have: he's an 87-13 dog in that case.
 
What if the villain has AK/AQ or something like that though?  Then it's more like 67-33, and it's maybe not such an awful proposition.
 
There may also be some advertising benefits to the play.  If he shows he'll call a shove with ten high, people might be less inclined to bluff him in the future.  The flipside, of course, is that they're more likely to shove their good hands expecting action, but he's a big boy and I'm sure he can deal with that.
 
Long story short, it's not a call I'd make.  But there are justifications available if you want to look for them.
