Deep in $11 30k Gtd, How do I play this hand from BB?
No reads on villain...should I be folding this preflop bc I'm oop or is the price I'm getting just too good?
Should I raise this flop/get it in or just flat call?
Also, at this point I'm in 10th place with 35 players left...

As played: I like to play the flop tough also if I'm on a draw for the nut flush. But I'm not sure that it's always EV+ in a tournament. After all: If he has an ace as suggested you will be beaten more than 50% of the times you gamble and you'll lose a lot of equity in the tournament. If you fold you will still be in pretty good shape tough. But it's possible you have to play this type of situations very aggresively if you want to end up in one of the top places in MTT:s
As played, this is just the kind of flop you were looking for. The 21000 flop bet isn't quite laying you the odds to call, but you have implied odds so call. Fold any non spade turn card if he bets any more than 1/4 pot.
