Fold the turn. The odds of a backdoor straight flush completing on the river are too high.

I want guys like that to stay in the game. Although I said nothing, something to the effect of, "sorry dude, bad beat", would be in order though.

I too want these kind of players to survive, but only long enough for me to get a hand to beat them myself rather than have someone else get his chips.
