Estrellas HR Hand #2

Here is a spot I am curious about that happened in the Estrellas 2k HR at EPT Barcelona;

We are playing 10 handed, blinds are 150/300/25. I didn't write this one down, so I'm trying to go off memory and I'm a bit hungover today so I hope this is close.

Hero - I'm playing super nitty and totally card dead. Table should be able to notice I'm not playing many hands, and the ones I do play I've been fairly passive. I'm an early 30's white guy, with a clearly North American accent (I'm Canadian).
Villain - I'm pretty sure he's from North America as well. Looks oriental, but speaks very clean english. Hasn't been too aggro, hasn't gotten out of line.
V2 - Nacho Barbera, playing super tight but not really relevant to this hand other than he is the original raiser.

H - ~33k UTG+1
V1 - ~20k CO
V2 - ~25k UTG

Nacho opens to 600 from UTG, Hero flats with 44, 2 more flats. Flop is 3h4h5c. Nacho leads for 1250, Hero calls, one fold and CO raises to 3500. Nacho folds and hero tanks for about 30 seconds before calling. I was strongly considering a 3b here, but felt it really turns my hand face up and is a much higher variance route. I know he's going to do this with flush draws sometimes, but he's also going to do it with made straights at 55/33

Turn is Kh, action goes check/check.

River is Qc. Hero checks, CO shoves for like 16k into a pot of 9k or so. Hero????

If we call and lose, we still have ~12k, so aren't in desperate shape. Winning would give us the big stack at the table. Folding obviously leaves us with a good stack as well. I'm not really sure that he much in his range that we are beating, so this should pretty much always be a fold?
