Mercier Can't Find Opponent Fold

Level 3

Stud

Facing a complete and two calls, Jason Mercier two-bet to 600 and was met with a three-bet from the original completer as the two other players folded. Mercier made it four bets to go and his opponent called before betting out on fourth only to have Mercier raise him. Mercier's opponent made the call and then called down the whole was as each player's board looked as follows.

Mercier: {X-}{X-} / {A-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Spades}{9-Hearts} / {X-}
Opponent: {X-}{X-} / {K-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{J-Hearts} / {X-}

On seventh after his opponent tank-called, Mercier tabled his {J-Clubs}{J-Spades} / {8-Diamonds} for a pair of jacks while his opponent paused, looked at Mercier's hand for roughly 20 seconds before tabling his {K-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for a better pair.
