Okay, I'm only an amateur player but after finishing a live tournament recently, I wanted the opinions of more experienced players, and see if there was a different/better way to play this specific hand. I'm mid-way through a live tournament.
Blinds are 1000/2000 with a 200 ante
Average chips is around 70000. My stack size is 90000

Action is folded around to the button who raises to 6400, playing with about 120000 at the start of the hand
SB folds
I have A♦: T♦: on the BB, so I defend

Heads-up to the flop- 6♦: 8♦: T♣:
Action is on me, I bet 5000 into about 11000. He calls
Turn- 6♦: 8♦: T♣: 5♦:
I bet 14000 into 21000. He raises to 32000. I call
River- 6♦: 8♦: T♣: 5♦: 7♦:
I check, he shoves all in for my effective stack of about 45000

Would you have played this hand differently? I could only put him on: 9♦: :9x: / K♦: 9♦: / 9♦: :7x: / K♦: :Kx: , or a complete bluff.

Spoiler

I called, He shows K♦: 9♦: and I am eliminated from the tournament

Pre-flop you can even consider to 3bet on him with ATs for value against the BTN raiser, but that depends a lot of what kind of reads you have on him. As played I would most likely check to the raiser and I would most likely check/call to keep his range as wide as possible and you don’t need to protect your hand, because you have the best hand and best draw most of the time.

On the turn I would go for stacks with a flush. I don’t think he would bluff to often here and there are some action killers on the river. He could stack off with 2 pair, set or straight here that could shutdown if a 4th :diamond: comes up.

The river is not the best card, but he will never bluff here. So he would have most likely a worst flush and if he has the straight flush it’s unlucky I think.
