Placing in large tournaments is a very difficult thing to do, how many world class players do you know actually finished in the money at last year? It'd be much harder to quadruple up and avoid bad beats etc..... In that scenario you have a good chance to be in a dominating position early on.
Are you willing to gamble? You are likely looking at around a coin flip with that many callers. If you are not ready to gamble, you have no business playing poker, and you should go home and cry in a corner because you will never win by playing THAT conservative.

The quote above states the prize for winning the coin flip perfectly. You will likely place in the money in the tournament if you play your cards right with that big of a chip stack.
