Flop comes 7H9HX, so i flop an opened ended straight flush draw. I bet he calls.
turn is the QH, so i hit my flush, I bet again and he calls.
River brings the 5H, so i hit my straight flush with a four flush on the board, I decided to shove my remaining 30,000 into a 11,000 chip pot, hoping he has an ace high flush or maybe a K high flush. Villian thinks about it for a while but then ultimately folds. My mind set was that I could win a massive pot had he had the AceH in his hand, but looking back maybe I over played it. What do you guys think?

Never shove like that, like ever. You have the nuts, what can realistically call your shove and risk entire stack? only Ahigh flush, almost everything rest folds. But in case villain has Ahigh flush, he is never not getting it in on the river. Also, that X is very important in terms of full houses, in case it is a paired board, then flush can not call you, even some full houses can not call.
Therefore, the only way you get payed is if the opponent has 2nd nuts or something, and what are the chances for that?
Bet smaller, if you have a read or history on your opponent, you might even check it hoping he bluffs the river, considering it is a 4 card flush, he can make a shot at it, and bluff you of sets, weaker flushes and so...
Anyways, shoving for value is not a thing, even if you see someone shoving like that, and another one calling, that just means you are pretty much looking at two players who play without putting any thought to it..
