I see this a lot, and almost always it is a blocking bet that results in my taking the pot after a decent raise.

Now you're in the exact spot that I was worried about. You've got 500 left, no pair no draw against a guy who minbet, called your massive raise and then led at you again. He HAS to have you beat here and I think it would be a miracle if he folded to your push, so this is a no-brainer fold.
