I don't think H going for it was a good idea. Maybe if your bankroll is made of Adamantium, this can be a hero call you can make with a good handle of volatility, but this should be a disgusted fold 99% of the time even before the king shows up.

What? Of course he does. The only hands H should have here are over-pairs, at best, so V can easily rep a set, get more money in for if he hits, and slow H down -- all of which worked beautifully.
Rainbow under 10 board, with maybe a couple midrange straight draws, and you holding blockers to the nut straight draw? This is an awful board to reraise with. He can shove you right over, and you have no idea where you stand, apart from being in either a WA/WB situation on the flop for a thousand dollars.
