Let me qualify my question as I don't bow hunt.  Is this a high percentage shot?
No!  That is a low percentage shot. 
The rib cage comes together in the front like the bow of a ship.  Arrows are easily deflected along the outside of the rib cage.

Seems like a risky shot to take. 

That being said, my guess is he got a very lucky shot into the Aorta.  Glad to see the animal die quickly.

This. ^ that shot isn't intended to penetrate and connect with vitals. If you look at the anatomy of an elk, they have several large arteries that come down the neck and into the chest cavity, about 4-6" above the visual base of the neck. You slice one of them, and the video shows you what happens, every time. It's a deadly shot if executed, but in the moment I wouldn't attempt it past 20-25 yards.
