The whole idea of a slow-roll is to briefly make the other guy think they have won the pot before squashing their excitement by showing down a better hand that claims the pot. That is not what you described.

So if he wasn't slow-rolling what would you call it? Statements like "I know you don't have a five" are slow-rollers favorite because he's giving you some sort of hope (while knowing full well that he crushes you).

Naaaah.

Villain made quads and was excited to showdown. He wanted the hero to showdown first, wanted to know what hero had because he "knew he didn't have a five." A bad beat, yes; painful, yes...but not a slow-roll.
