i would´ve folded to that reraise on the turn. So many things that could beat you right there.. Higher straight, full house, or even some idiot who may draw out on you on the river with the higher flush. The river was a lucky saviour for you i suppose? What did the other guy have?

I think I would´ve tried to kill the pot on the flop with an all-in.

raise full pot on the flop. you want to knock out any higher flush draws.

The opponent had a full house.
