i think easy call there, it is early in the touranment, hard to call but there are 4 to the straight there and it may be easy for him to miss seeing the flush. he could have a higher flush than you, or just be trying to represent the higher flush. it sucks being put in that position so early in a tournament. If i knew the stakes of the tournament and buy-in it may be easier. You do have plenty of chips if you elect to fold right there, which if its a higher buy in tournament and worht a lot, then i probably would and just wait til later to try and catch him. If its a small buy in touranment i would snap call, because chances are the tournament doesnt mean much to him and the money isn't really in his mind, hes just trying to push you off the hand, or hope you call with a 2 pair against his straight. I would call if its not worht much in the touranment. If its a $20 or more tournament, and worht a lot, then i would fold and wait for a better position and see what tendencies he continued with to see if i could catch him later.

Considering it's a freeroll I would be snap-calling him here, most likely he has rivered a straight or some 2-pair.

Easy call.

He might just be holding a King. If he has a higher flush, you cant do anything about it but to pay him off.

snap call, there is no sense to think about this hand, villain can play with any two cards, rarely you will see higher flush at showdown.

Definite call, although he could have a higher club for a better flush. I guess my play would greatly depend on how strong he came into the pot to begin with and how aggressive he played to the river. 98% I would call, though

Wow, that's a tough one indeed!
I know I'm late, but I would definitely say call it - considering it being early and in freeroll there is a bunch of morons sorry to say..

You still can't fold, when you're holding a flush on an unpaired board that's one away from a straight, you'll be looking to get your stack in the middle all the time.

protip: change your deck to 4 colors, easier to multitable.

How did the hand play out before the river? From the SS alone you have to call, please tell us you called. Only I could even consider folding is if it was a limped pot, and all the action happened on the turn. It looks like your the BB, if you cold called OOP then... what else could you want?

He bet the flop 200+chips and I call, he bet 200+ on the turn then I call. "What else could I want?"
I want him bet only not more than 360+ chips, not getting pressure to go All in to call, 700 chips left early tournament still manageable to me.
Fortunately "I call this hand" :)
1. I got some read or instinct of his bet on the river.
-Why go all in if he's a flush too?
To tell me he's bluffing and I need to call with an Ace high although he got only "K" and not a flush.
2. He wants to get the pot.
-Betting All in, he's only option.

I agree with the consensus, it is a fairly easy call. I would expect he was betting flop and turn with either KT, KQ with one of his hole cards being a club. He hoped to win the pot through either aggression or catching one of his outs. He caught what he perceived to be one of his outs, since you flatted the turn he wouldn't expect the flush.
There is always the chance you run into the higher flush, but more often than not in the given situation and the way it played the opponent will represent the flush, have the straight and hope to avoid a chop, or catch someone who can't lay down 2 pair.
