3bet? River improves both of us, but lowers my relative hand value.

Okay, my hand improves from a straight to flush, but there's now a better flush that beats me (Kxs, possible but not the most likely) or, more likely, he had an ace. Question is, does he have two pair? My guess is no due to his turn straight call, so should I 3bet? If he has only trips, I'm getting just one more bet, but I likely lose 2 if he has a boat. Thoughts?

I'd 3-bet him all day. Plenty or worse hands than a full house.

3-bet, call a cap.
