OK - this is NOT a bad beat post. I lost, and I really do not think I could get away from it. But the more I thought about, I started to wonder if a better player would lay this down. Here is the scenario---

51 left with about 2700 runners starting. I am in about 20th position chips wise, with about 250K. New table for me (been here for maybe 1 lap) and it seems very passive (my last table was a push fest). Here is the hand--
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t16000 (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

MP1 (t188214)
MP2 (t359142)
MP3 (t76768)
CO (t210758)
Button (t120878)
Hero (t244729)
BB (t329400)
UTG (t478532)
UTG+1 (t286416)

Preflop: Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls t16000, 4 folds, CO calls t16000, 1 fold, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t62400) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)
Hero bets t16000, BB raises to t312600, UTG folds, CO folds, Hero calls t211929 (All-In).

Turn: (t602929) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: (t602929) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: t602929

Results in white below: 
Hero has Tc 7h (three of a kind, tens).
BB has 8c Th (three of a kind, tens).
Outcome: BB wins t602929. 

Obviously when the flop hit, I was happy, I bet out, hoping for action, got it, insta called, and then was sad...

In reflection, my kicker sucks. Does anyone not call here? One line of thinking would be that this guy is in about the same position as me and woudl he really risk his whole stack on a bluff or over pair? Or am I just being results oriented....
