$2/$4: Facing River C/R

Villain 1 is a mid-aged middle eastern man wanting to gamble. He’s been buying in at the table $100 a piece and finally ran up a stack. He called a cbet holding 3 high with 32o and hit runner-runner 2s on the turn and river to win the pot. He’s also made a 200max bet bluff on the river. He mucked his hand immediately after being called.
Villain 2 is a mid-aged asian man. He talks like a tag but plays a weak-tight style of game. He is capable of folding hands. He likes to take his time deliberating for a couple of minutes before folding even though everyone can smell a mile away that he’s going to fold.
Hero has been having a losing session for the majority of the night. Finally, in quick succession, and after playing snug for a couple of hours, hero is involved in 2 hands in a row taking down a decent-sized pot. The following is the 3rd hand in a row.

Do you call here because it is an easy call with you getting close to 5:1 and only need to be good here 1 out of 6 times or do you fold because a play like c/r the river is representative of the nuts because nobody at this level is capable of doing it as a bluff?
I put in a bet size of a little over 1/3 the pot as a value bet to get paid off by worse. V2 sat there thinking and talked to me trying to get a read out of me. He says he has AQ and thinks this is a chop but ends up folding. When it was V1’s turn, he talks to me and says, “You can’t have it 3 times in a row. I don’t believe you have an Ace. I’m all-in!”
