First off, this is a tourney and fold equity is your life's blood.

He raised preflop, got a A-paired rags 2-tone flop. Why would you NOT cb this flop? Fold equity is reasonably large, you have the draw, and a call by your opponent gives you pretty specific information (your J&T outs are probably not good *or* he also has 2 hearts). If you ask me, betting this flop makes the rest of the hand easier to play.

I have to go back and check the book, Zy didn't give stack sizes or player reads, so maybe Harrington is basing his analysis on those factors. The only thing other than that I can think of is, hero's been cb'ing alot, 2 opponents and a tricky BB reduce fold equity, and he's confident the player behind him will also check, which isn't bad since the free card is good for him.
