At the level they were at, with only 1 hand in trhe pot so far, it really wasn't a bad play to try stealing here. Given his chipstack, he only had about 5 rounds around before he got siphoned off. And, it wight've worked; calling an all in w/q-9os isn't an automatic play. Gus Hansen would've applauded the try.

BTW, how's things in Ron Reagan's home town?
