Hi and welcome to the forums (or at least this one since I don't think you've posted here before).
You played this hand fine. You got your chips in as an 80% favourite and got unlucky - there's nothing more you could have done.
I'll demonstrate this using ICM analysis (which is very relevant because you were the big stack up against the second stack). I'm assuming that the third and fourth stacks were roughly equal, ie. that there wasn't a stack around with like 100 chips or something.
- If you fold you will have 4650 chips worth 31.1% of the prize pool
- If you call and win you will have 9350 chips worth 43.3% of the prize pool
- If you call and lose you will have 800 chips worth 11.0% of the prize pool
Therefore, you need to be (31.1-11.0)/(43.3-11.0) = 62% to win against his range to make this a good call.
Against TT+, AK (which is a very tight range) you are 65% to win so calling is +EV by quite a big margin. Interestingly, KK is the worst hand that you could call with here assuming he is shoving TT+, AK (of course if he shoves looser you can call looser).
By the way, you shouldn't post the results of the hand since they don't really matter (frustrating though they were!).
