What so funny about this hand is hero only made 1 mistake. The preflop raise is very bad, i don't care about metagame or whatever, you give up too much equity here. Once it's capped back to him obviously he is calling.

Betting this flop would be terrible, we want people in the hand who will be drawing dead if he hit. This pot is so huge that a lot of very marginal holdings now have "mandatory calldown syndrome" because of this pot size. The chance of hero winning this pot without showing down is about 0%, especially when his opponents can just put him on hearts, thus there is no reason the 3 bet the flop. The turn and river play are fine.
