It does make lots of sense while playing a tournament. You can't afford to be outdrawn when there's a big pot in the middle. You'd better take it now with the best hand rather than get outdrawn and lose a huge pot.

Top pair top kicker hands are not unbeatable. They are definitely the nuts against hyper-aggressive player on the flop,but TPTK is often not the best hand when the river card hits.

Cash games are completely different and I can understand the logic about letting the hyper-aggro bluff some money, because most of the time I will win in such spots and if I get unlucky I can rebuy. But this is a tournament and chips are very valuable because you will be out very soon if you let few people outdraw you...

PS. I am sure Elky balances his river all-in range,but I'd bet he tries to bluff only when relatively shortstacked or against people who can't hurt his big stack... I doubt he ever bluffs on the river against someone with bigger chip stack than him when he is above the average stack!
