Preflop
Standard open.

Flop
This is a very bad flop for KK, because everyone can have every single combo of 2 pair, and a flopped straight is also possible. You do block the nut straight, and you have a gutshot draw yourself, but all in all I prefer checking back here and ideally seeing a low disconnected card before starting to put any chips in. And if you bet, I like a smaller sizing like maybe 990 chips. You are sizing like, you have the nuts, but actually you only have a marginal made hand and a bad draw.

Turn
This was a good card for you, because it cuts down on the possible combos of two pair and sets, and you also beat QT now. Naked 9X got there, but I dont think, he has much of that other than J9 specifically, and maybe thats only J9s, which is then only 2 combos. If he has a hand like A9, he is likely not calling a big flop bet with someone left to act behind him, although with him being an unknown and this being a 1,1$ MTT, everything is at least possible. So I would also bet again for value. But once again I think, you are going to big. You are setting it up, so there is only something like a third pot sized bet left for the river, which mean, you are basically committing both of you to the pot.

River
The only logical hand, which now got there, is AQ. Given that he will be getting 4:1 on a jam, maybe he is still calling with QX. So its a question of, how often does he have that, compared to how often he has a hand, that actually beat you. If you check back and lose, you will be left with around 40% of the starting stack. Thats probably not really worth your time in a 1,1$ MTT, so having build this large of a pot, I probably just stick the rest in and hope to get called by worse.
