This is correct, you have to think about the ranges.
V2 almost certainly has a straight here, or at least that would be what a reasonably cautious player (V1, ie me) who doesn't know V2 well, would have to think. As actually played, V1 raised the turn, and hero was correct in calling the 2 more bets cold, because he was almost certainly up against two straights.
If V1 had just called the turn, he would most likely have a bigger set, with maybe the one combo of top two pair with the open ended straight flush draw. So V1 would have one combo that gives hero 4 outs, and nine combos against which he has only the singe out to quads. So hero has only 1.1 weighted outs, and should not even call for the one more bet (plus he still isn't closing the action).
At game speed it would be tough to make the fold, but I think it would be undoubtedly correct. I just found this spot very interesting, because how many times would you be happy to call for 2 bets cold, but fold for 1 bet? Not often, but this is the spot.
