Comments
As played, I'm not folding the river for 495. The A is a bluff card for QJ, QT, JT, QQ, JJ, TT, all the clubs, and any other crap that he could be in there with. You chop Kx and pay off Ax. 495 to win 1500 so you need to be right 1/3 of the time and I think its just close enough.
You'll define preflop ranges better and be better suited to not be in a FML spot like this.
Fwiw, I fold pre.
Pre-flop:
You're first to act, and you limp with KQo early in a MTT, that's bad. You should be folding this 100% of the time at this point. The reasons are, it's not a good hand. AT+ here, and pocket pairs can be debatable, though I think most would suggest 88+ is generously large.
Flop:
Okay, so now there's 7 to the flop and you hit second pair... that's not good enough, so betting here isn't great, but part of me likes it to kinda push around anyone with a weak A. If you'd folded pre this would be easy, but betting is likely your best option here. Sizing isn't bad. Two callers though? You're behind.
Turn:
Bingo! You hit. So, you bet out, which I like, but I think the amount is light. The pot should be 350 at this point? I go at least $200, probably closer to 250. I would hope this looks like someone saying to themselves "Some asshole with a K just called my bet when I hit my A, and now I'm going to tilt off my stack". You got re-raised? He has 2540 left, and it's open betting, pot's at about 830, and your call would make it 990, re-raise, make it at LEAST 600 more to call.
River:
This was the best played part of the hand on your behalf.

My bet on the turn was a little less then 1/2 pot, what do you think it should have been? 2/3 pot?
