Capable opponent, table dynamic has changed recently as your big lead has been slashed by PotHarry knocked someone out in 4th. Pele likes folding till he is short enough to just push.

As played,call I think

If wrong, bully Pele from here on in

Im not sure i like trapping with this hand pre oop.

I think post flop is alright but calling the turn raise is player dependent imo but fine against an unknown. As played i think we have to call our hand has been under represented really and no way he puts you an overpair due to preflop line.

i dont like the linp pre flop here either what flop you want to see apart from you got or another with a 7 on it where you oppo gets frisky with a pair

Limp pre-flop is fine, otherwise you'll be out of position and might get into a pissing match with the BB and if he calls and you  find 2 overcards you could be completely F'ed. So the limp is fine for me, though I understand the case for a raise.

Don't like the min-bet on the flop very much..looks too stabby.

Nothing has changed on the turn..the 8 is completely irrelevant...but with his little raise he has taken all initiative away from you as you check on the river. I am not advocating a re-raise here but I would expect him to do this with quite a wide range as, again, you min raise here. ( I probably would have check-called here after he called my bet on the flop for a bit of pot control.

When you check to him on the river and he moves all-in you're not beating anything other than a bluff here really. You've spent a lot of time on the same table as this guy..would he do this on a bluff? You've played this like you've got hot air..so he could very well be at it.

It's a fold for me on the river..looks like your typical SB/BB pissing match to me that you encounter soo often in the final 3 or 4 of a tourney..and the part that I suck in as I ussually can't find the balls to make the right calls here...very curious to know what you did and what he had.

As played I am leaning towards call river as he raised before the 4...if he is the kind of player who races an ace preflop.I don't like preflop but I doubt you'd be posting for something so simple as that and don't mind it urself. I 30k flop and 50k turn btw. I guess I would put him on 86 if life sucked.
