Default Re: $650 WSOP sat, turn buttom set, but unraised pot 53 rly?

I think he has jacks up a lot more than a straight here.

Isn't jacks-up (or really any top-pair Jx hand) betting on the flop given the multiple opponents + coordinated board/flush possibilities? I just can't see someone with 2-pair checking this flop given the potential danger. Then again, the $650 WSOP on Stars isn't a top-flight field, so I can consider that the villain ignored the texture of the flop here and gave away a free card trying to get tricky with 2 pair. So I really can't see myself folding in this spot.

Still, I'd expect to see 53 turned over an awful lot here. If I had any kind of read that the villain was thoughtful and paying attention to things like the contour of the flop then I'd give more consideration to folding under the assumption he wouldn't slowplay two-pair or AJ/KJ/QJ/JT here; and unless he's a total donk, I can't see him sticking in a re-raise here with the naked Jack hands, meaning jacks-up is really the only hand we can put him on that we beat.
