Did I misplay this somewhere or was I just plain unlucky?
Ok, this might fit much better into the bad beat forum, but I dont want to cry and complain and rather know, if there was something I could have done better. Maybe a higher preflop raise or something. But the way villain played, that might not have changed the way he played the hand anyway.

What are you trying to accomplish with your raise? Make the worst hands fold incase they suckout on you? A bad beat usually means you played it right and got unlucky. In this case the guy called every street with the worst hand and without odds. You WANT him to call here. The only thing I would have done differently is checked the flop since you are against 2 players and there is a good chance on of them has a K or a draw (and you cant tell the difference if they just call). I dont play tournaments much though so I may be wrong on this last bit.
