FYI this forum is for limit cash game. You'll probably get better answers in the appropriate tournament forum.

Without reads, CO looks like flush draw plus overcards, or maybe a combo draw, but could be overplaying top pair. In a cash game, as played on the flop, I check call turn and river. Considering this is a tournament, I might find a fold on the turn if my read said that this villan can raise a scare card on the turn, but I expect to lose to a flush fairly often if I call down. Folding to preserve tournament life might be the right play.

Also since I'm totally new I might be wrong about my comment about where to post this. And my advice might suck. I'm trying my best.

Tournament hands are fine here, they've been asked before, including by me.

Probably just check/calling down on the turn.

This is one of the biggest mistakes in the hand IMO

If he had a flush draw, he now made it. And that hand was the only hand apart from top pair I could beat that puts in 4 bets on the flop.

I'm not even sure he's 4 betting flop w/ a 7 (he might because he's likely a fish, but probably smarter to assume he'd go into calldown mode with it).

I actually think his most likely hand when he 4 bets the flop is a draw. You should check call down and hope to see 65.
