Weak turn bet. Lead more.

Way you played it, I can't call off all my chips with TPTK here.

Re: Can someone identify my flaw here?
 

Pre-flop and flop look good. You probably have to put your opponent on Ax with the call on the flop. I'd bet a little more on the turn - just enough to make a heart or straight draw the wrong price - maybe 2/3 the pot. I like the small bet on the river. But the reason why I like it is that the only hands my opponent should have where he re-raises are those I'm behind (with the possible exception of AK but even that I don't think he flat calls pre-flop and pushes the river). So I'd make a blocking bet the way you did and fold to his push. You still have plenty of chips to play.

Re: Can someone identify my flaw here?
 

Yes, I definately should have folded on the river.

The weakest part of my game is the inability to fold. My curiosity and stubbornness to give up the pot always drives me to call. I need to work on that.

This is a huge flaw, especially so in tournaments, because your curiousity can cost you tournament life. Save those chips for a better spot.

Like Garland said, I like the blocking bet, but you HAVE to fold the river there.
