I'm not too fond of this flop check. Let me figure your thought process out: "I've got top set (the nuts right now). I need to check to let my opponent bluff at me."
HOWEVER, it *appears* as though you've been making continuation bets the entire tournament, so a check on that type of board (with that much money in the pot) is definitely going to raise flags. I would say villain checks behind about 90% of the time here. Also, we can't be too fond of the two diamonds. I would just bet about 2/3 of the pot and hope villain has something to play along with (AK, KQ).
