Would you have called as played?
Look, the hand is a cooler and even if you think that a flush is a big part of his range, you still have outs.
The thing is, the way you played the hand, you told villain you have a big hand. Moreover, the way played, you also took out most of the flushes from your range.
So when he bets, he's got to be thinking you have overpair + and he's still betting. Given ICM, if you are disciplined enough, maybe you can find a fold. Maybe. I am not sure I would, I would have to be playing A+ game.
At this spot, holding the supreme nuts, it's tough to play this hand bad. Since outside the flush draw, the board is really dry and you are taking villain's calling outs, I would lean towards a check/call line, though the bubble does counsel towards fast playing your hand.
Regardless, don't sweat the hand. Maybe if you become a crusher, getting this spot right might be the difference between being great or good, but I bet you have many many many other leaks you can deal with first.
