Preflop
If CO had isolated to a more reasonable size like 4BB, I might just call here to try to lure the limper to come along with a lot of dominated hands. But when CO size incorrectly (he basically ignored the limper) I prefer 3-betting, and you got the limper to come along any way.

Flop
I dont entirely love the fact, he donk jammed the flop, but at the same time I am not going to fold TPTK. The SPR is less than 3, and you are playing a freeroll, which is not the right place to make nitty folds. If he limped and then cold called a 3-bet with anything, that beat you on this board, or if he was slowplaying AA or KK, then good for him. I think, there is enough stuff, you are ahead of here, like various draws, QX with a worse kicker or even just random spass with hands like A8 or AJ, to justify getting it in.

Wouldn't be thrilled to but its a call.
We cant go folding TPTK to draw jams can we now 😎

As soon as I saw the word "freeroll" it changed my perception of this entire hand. In a live tournament for real money, I'm not putting my whole stack on it. For free? What the hell?

Thank you for posting
We want to think about why the shove? 1 we 3 bet which is normally a premium hand-- As many have said that they would not fold therefore unless the V has 0 poker skill then they have AA beat or have a huge combo draw which means a flip for us at best- 2 We have a very slim redraw to the nuts---3 We have a skill advantage taking a flip negates that---4 we block top pair so fewer combos of TPWK which the V might shove-- 5 Folding leaves us with 50+bb so we can still apply that skill advantage---
Calling is fine but we can fold as the V's play leans less to a shove by 66 or Q3 and more to a shove by 98ss or better which gives them 57% or better
