I would have pushed preflop in a turbo tourney, 33 is not a hand against 2 opponents. At the turn it is 100% read dependend. But in a turbo i can't find a fold here.

I would say this is totally clueless play from your opponent. An idiotic bet that tells me he is a total fish. cos if he had a straight he's not gonna get the call he wants without his op hitting something incredibly unfortunate and he's wasted a good hand. If he's got nothing he's risking a huge stack to win a small pot on an incredibly dangerous bluff. If he had top pair or two pair he should bet to test the waters but not commit himself. He should in any case try and make you pay just more than the odds to hit your draw assuming he puts you on it.
I would guess though that he's put you on a bluff/draw or mediocre hand like a pair of 9s and has counter bluffed. However I would fold because you have not committed yourself, he has proven to be a weak player and therefore beatable and you have plenty of time for another opportunity. But don't be too tight, you don't want to blind yourself out either.
