Here is the situation.

You’re playing an invitational televised tournament. The blinds are 5,000/10,000.

You’re in the Big Blind with 900,000 chips. Everyone folds until a player in middle position, with 1,000,000 chips, who limps in.

The rest of the table folds. You check.

 

The flop reveals

Q♠5♠4♣

You’re first to speak. 
You bet 15,000.

Vilain raises to 30,000.
You call.

 

The turn is 

4♦

You check.

Your opponent bets 55,000.

You’re confident with your trips. You raise to 155,000.

It takes vilain less than 10 seconds to announce a 3-bet to 255,000!

You call.

 

The river shows a

6♥.

You check again, letting your opponent keep on the aggression.

And once again, it takes him less than 10 seconds to anounce…

ALL IN!

 

 

What do you do and what’s your reasoning?

Fold! Fold! Fold! We have no reads on villain and he is doing his damn best to get his chips in the middle. I think this is the nuts and we are behind. We can still fold here and have plenty of chips to stage a comeback. A flopped set is very possible, most likely 55. It's unlikely villain has a 4 after raising the flop thinkg about it, unless it's the A4 of spades. We beat a badly played AA or KK, busted draws and a bluff. I say this is some crazy action for a bluff.

Take a deep breath, fold and find a better spot.
