I say push. you probably have the best hand here, you you may get called if anyone has an 8 or an overpair.

Is it not worth trying to extract more money?

Yuck, did someone just hit a boat on the turn?

I would bet about half the pot on the turn, so any flush draw does not have the odds to call you. I think that a push won't make you any money. You will only be called by hands that beat you. If your bet is called by anyone, then you can fear the boat. I would then check behind on the river (given the opportunity) or call a small bet.
