Bad beat or Bad Call? (My flopped set vs SB turned straight?)

BN: polpetek: $10.10
SB: pewit: $12.92
BB: sevven45: $9.92
UTG: beliy2000400: $6.47
HJ: tigertonkin: $14.07
CO: karamel'ka93: $16.14
Zoom table no reads whatsoever.
Preflop ($0.15) (6 Players)
tigertonkin was dealt 8 8
beliy2000400 folds, tigertonkin raises to $0.30, karamel'ka93 folds, polpetek folds, pewit calls $0.25, sevven45 folds
standard raise, pewitt calls. I automatically remove 10+ and AK
Flop ($0.70) 8 9 4 (2 Players)
pewit checks, tigertonkin bets $0.50, pewit calls $0.50
The flop is perfect for me. I decide to c-bet to hide my hand. Pewit again just calls. Now I am thinking he may hold 9X but a weak one at that. he may have K9 at most but I reckon A9 probably raises in this spot for protection.
Turn ($1.70) 8 9 4 6 (2 Players)
pewit checks, tigertonkin bets $1.10, pewit calls $1.10
The turn card comes the 6. when he just checks again I smell weakness so I bet about 65/70% of pot for value and to keep my hand disguised. When he calls again I firstly think, what does he put me on. I reckon he thinks I am on bluff and I am probably holding AK, AQ or possibly A9. the fact he only calls to me feels like he has to be on 9X but is scared of me holding a higher pair or A9, I feel his range is around 910 9J.
River ($3.90) 8 9 4 6 3 (2 Players)
pewit checks, tigertonkin bets $2.60, pewit raises to $7.10, tigertonkin calls $4.50
the river is a 3. This is a great card for me as it doesnt change the board. Once he checks the I feel he has given up on the hand. However once he check raises I am like, *** WTF! ***

Looking back the way I have played this hand. (fast an quick) he's obviously assuming I am betting the river. When he raises I am thinking its either a pure bluff because he thinks I have AK and could get me to fold or maybe he hit trip 3s. Either way I win this hand.

I cant' believe what he showed. As it turned out it was a great check by him,

My question is, is this a bad beat or is it a bad call and should I have been able to fold to his raise on the river?
Final Pot
pewit has 5 7 tigertonkin has 8 8 pewit wins $17.29
