Tournament in question is the $3.30 $1,500 GTD on Black Chip Poker. We are about an hour and a half into the tournament at this point, and get into a very interesting spot on the turn in a big multiway pot. Before I reveal how the hand transpired, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

*** TURN ***: [7s 5d 8d] 10♠
Action is to us. We have turned top pair in a pretty bloated pot after flopping an open-ended straight draw and a flush draw. Given how the action went on the flop, with my 4-bet getting called and overcalled, there are definitely some alarms going off in my head that top pair with a weak kicker is probably beat here. We are up against two opponents, and all three of us are playing pretty deep, with 40+BB stacks effective, to start the hand. There is now about 8400 in the pot. We have about 8000 chips behind, and both opponents have us covered. What is your line here, and why?
