I'd tend to go the other way, keep raising him a little bit until he calls or folds. You do have the nuts which is great, but then you'll be first to act on the river, which puts you in the awkward position of having to lead out. If he feels he's vulnerable in any way, he may just call your bet on the river, where he was more clearly willing to go all-in on the turn. Imagine the board pairing on the river and you lead out; now he's afraid and may flat call, and you don't maximize your profit. It's a bit different if he's first to act; you can see if he bets & what he bets, and then raise enough to put him all in - which he'll feel obligated to call more than likely, no matter what the last card was.
