think you can fold the river.

I don't think you went wrong. A little larger bet on the flop, like 500 - this is contrary to what I said before but the blinds are higher and it's an important pot.
If he calls, and you think he has a jack. I think you have to be prepared to check/fold. I would not give him control and check/call down this hand. I'm either betting or getting out. Of course I don't know if I get away from it, I could end up shoving - which has to be wrong here. He doesn't have KK or QQ which are the only hands you beat because he would have re-raised preflop imo.
If he ends up with a 9, well, he's a donk.

I play it the same. I dont like a larger bet on the flop because youre WA/WB.

since this is a 1.50 buy in and a turbo, I play pretty much the same pre and on the flop. However I wouldnt slow down on turn. I'd bet 1k and if he's got a J I'm dead but thats ok. I used to play these tournaments when I was new to poker and as far as I remember people quite frequently showed something like Q10 for a rr straight call on flop.

Bingo. I was gonna post the exact same thing before I saw you did..I probably play it the same here, I'm not folding river when we under repped our hand the whole way

He is not betting a 5, an ace at the river (the only hands he could have other than a higher pocket pair)
He may bet T's - K's hoping you call with an ace. I dump the hand though.
