Cook Can't Do What, Exactly?

A huge pot just went down on Blue #30. It was raised preflop from early position by Fernando Gordo to 56,000. Bertrand Grospellier, Scott Cook and Don Tran all called the raise, creating a 4-way pot with more than 225,000 chips in it before a single community card came down.

The flop was {3-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {K-Spades}. Gordo, the preflop raiser, had to act first. He bet 155,000 and got calls from Grospellier and Cook both. Only Tran folded.

The turn {3-Diamonds} paired the board. Gordo fired another 250,000 into the middle. Again Grospellier and Cook both called, creating a gigantic pot of almost 1.5 million chips heading into the river {8-Diamonds}.

Gordo, perhaps sensing something amiss, finally slowed down. He checked. Grospellier also checkd, bringing the action to Cook.

"I can't do it," Cook said after a few moments. He also checked, taking us to showdown.

Gordo: {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} - two pair, aces and threes
Grospellier: {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} - two pair, aces and threes
Cook: {5-Clubs} {5-Hearts} - a full house, fives ful of threes

Cook dragged the pot to increase his count to about 3 million.

No valuebets or raises on any street I don't follow? I realize it's a once in a lifetime oppurtunity but jeez...Seem's more concerned with just surviving I guess.
