Either of you do anything different earlier in the hand?

Not much to do, you dont want the flush draw getting a free card, which is what this looks like, but for that price I think I have to call. This could be donk action for sure.

One way you can play this hand better is by making Math your friend. If on the Turn you can't trust your read enough to fold to a River club, then bet enough on the Turn to make calling any River card still be +EV.

As played, Villain has close to proper odds to call your Turn bet assuming you call his River push. His immediate + implied odds are ~3.65:1.

You can cut down those odds by betting the Pot on the Turn. That way, even if you always call the River in these situations your play with still be +EV. No decisions necessary.

NLHTAP has a real good section on this topic.

there is honestly nothing you can do here but call. youre getting almost 4:1 and its not like the 4:1 is a significant number of BB's. i call here 128% of the time for that price

I usually make it more than 2/3 on the turn with a cold call on the flop w/ flush draw
