Sure, and he can have J4 also.
Seriously, why would you want to raise a 2x pot size bet with a hand with 8 outs? Maybe they can/should do it with 97s and a back door flush, that hand has about the right odds against one pair, assuming the 9 is live.
My experience at this level is that these splashy limper type are much more likely to just flat if they flopped one of these draws. They played passively preflop, and are now getting aggressive post; this isn't how draws get played by these players. Of course, our experiences can both be correct...
