TLR is an unknown quantity at this point
The following hand is from a home game tournament, it is reconstructed from memory, 8 players at the table, all know each other very well

Blinds are 3/6, average stack 500

UTG (stack around 650) calls
Hero MP1 (stack around 900) calls with
MP2 (stack 350) calls
MP3 (stack 270) calls
CO folds
button calls
SB completes
BB checks

so we have 7 way action, pot is 42
Flop:
UTG Bets 40, UTG is a very good player, his bet is either a strong high hand, or a decent high hand (top 2 pair) with some sort of a low hand, trying to thin the field so he will have a decent chance of picking the pot later or at least half of it
Hero: Calls, hero is a good draw to the wheel, a weak FD and a firm belief that at this stage of the tournament nobody will try to bluff in this pot
MP1 raises to 120, there is no way MP1 makes a move at this pot, someone asks him why does he raise and he replies I have a set and want everyone out
MP2 moves AI for 270 , at this stage is it very likely MP2 can move in with a draw, which is a move he likes to make a lot, and he is also the short stack.
button SB fold
BB says I have ton of outs but folds
UTG deliberates for a long time and folds
What is Hero's move ?
