EDIT: I think it is a cooler actually, considering out that Hero owned the other two villains, and the winner could have just as easily had some stupid flusdraw, straight draw, overpair combo.
While I wouldn't call it a cooler, since we should expect to be at least against another 5 + overcards or more likely another 57... But I wasn't too serious about my question on the topic, just wanted to post this sick hand.

So I answer to my own question: yes, we have to call, especially with so bloated pot preflop. Generally 77xx hands are crap, so we shouldn't expect anyone to have sevens full here... But it's not like "ship iiiiit!!!!!" call, we are calling knowing that we are having like 40%* equity here by avarage, which of course makes calling very +EV

As you can see, even the sevens full only had 60.40% equity here with the nuts... Quad draw, straigh flush draws, overpairs... they do add up!

* = We might be splitting this one, we might be facing hands like 589T, sometimes there's 77xx, straight flush draw is possible, there might be overpairs in some hands...
