Would he play 2 small pair this way? That is the only hand you can beat that would call the checkraise on 6th unless he started with 4 diamonds and made a pair of 4s on 5th street.

It really looks like a straight in 5 or a set.

I might have 3-bet on 5th street to get more information, but would have hated to call a cap.

It all looks right up until sixth where I'd have just bet out. For ming to raise your board on fifth it likely means a set or two pair. He dosent raise on the come often like some players might with something such as (23)2 5 4. I just think a set is too likely here and I wouldnt really be anxious to check-raise and put two bets in with my two pair. If you bet out (ming is weak tight) he is almost certain to call rather than raise with a set in fear that you have one of the jacks underneath for broadway.
