he's calling 1/3 of his stack for a set. he's not exactly getting the right odds here to call.

True, which is why pushing or folding on the flop ought to be the only real options against Arieh.

He played the pot only to flop a set, unless he was willing to make a gamble and call on a "safe" flop.

Whatever safe flop exists when you miss your 5 (such as 234, or 3 of a suit to match one of your fives) is too rare an occurance to rationally call and see a flop.
