Pair of Threes Good?

On a flop of {10-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}, Hevad "Rain" Khan raised an opponent who had bet out 3,200. Khan's raise was for 15,000, which was enough to put his opponent all-in. His opponent called and showed 4-3 for an open-ended straight draw while Khan showed 9-7 for a gutshot. The turn brought the {3-Spades} with the {5-Clubs} on the river, giving his opponent two pair, threes and fives. Khan is down to 22,000 after the hand.
