I would say that this is a clear fold TBH, but as we see Boski took it down. I don't think flipping for your tournament with 30bbs is great play. Especially being that close to the money. Plus the fact he is sitting happily in 17/40, so doesn't need to be risking things here.
Having said that the reasons to call are that maybe it doesn't look like the villain wants a call, so maybe the thought was that they have 22-88 a fair amount of the time here, and almost never have TT-AA with that kind of play.
