Default Can I get out of this alive?

The table was very loose and this is the first level.

My stack: 985
everyone else in the hand has close to that or has me covered.

Blinds: 5/10

My hand: 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on the button

PREFLOP: First 3 players limp, next 3 players fold, I call, sb completes, BB checks.

FLOP: 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (T60) 6 players
Checked to UTG, UTG BETS 70, 1 fold, MP1 calls 70, I call, blinds fold.

*I elected to just call here although an all-in is reasonable because I'd rather keep the pot smaller if I can and bring the hammer down AFTER I make my hand then to risk my tourny with a smaller edge. I know my hand is a monster but I'm a "bird in the hand" guy I guess.

TURN: K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (T270) 3 players
UTG BETS 120, MP1 folds, I RAISE to 300, UTG GOES ALL-IN,

I now have 605 chips left and the pot is 1295.

I call and he shows the nut flush w/ ATs leaving me with 1 out instead of the 2 I figured I'd have if behind.

Is there any way I don't go broke on this hand?
