This is what I think:-
I think the AJo hand is a fold because there are so many short stacks left in. Hero has 7870 chips remaining, and is pretty much guaranteed to get in the money, even if he folds every hand.
Apart from UTG+3, nobody even has 4xBB remaining, and there are antes too. Only three more players need to get knocked out, so I guess it is better to let them battle it out among themselves.
You wouldn't want to call a push here, have the SB push too, and risk over 700 chips when you don't need to. I think it is better if just another short stack calls the push. Even if you call the UTG push, nobody else calls, and you win, it doesn't really make much difference to Hero's stack.
With the AKo hand, only one more player needs to get knocked out before you get in the money. You wouldn't want to push here, get called by UTG+1, and lose over half your stack.
