The opponent was very agro and raised a lot and 3betlet,
Preflop K7S I defended BB, due to the weak kicker I didn't 3bet on the flop, but it might have been a better solution, RI called a small bet for T, would you have given R?

They could be bluffing after the missed flush or overplaying their Tx if they're very aggressive - that shove could be anything so it's a gamble with tournament life.

In this situation, a flop with straight and flush draws is perfect for their range, they can easily have Qx Jx Ax and a better kicker as you've said. But can't fold here with top pair.

Now A of diamonds on the turn adds another flush draw suit and QJx get there. Against an aggressive player with the biggest stack on the table, they will not fold a 3-bet - if that is what I would do to represent Ax, I have to be prepared to see a 4-bet and a possible shove too - which I'd fold. However, shoving here increases the chances for a fold much more than a 3-bet does, but can we really do that here? I would prefer letting them lead too.

River blocked flush draws and they are in the perfect position to place maximum pressure, they probably put you on those draws and perhaps they wanted you to fold Kx Tx Ax too. Can never be sure it's a bluff, as it can be their tactical play to get Hero Calls - some aggressive players are unpredictable, especially in the blinds.

You lost the minimum here and you still got a decent stack to build back up, folding is best in my opinion. GG and GL!

As played you were very close to GTO including fold on river 75% of the time---The V was not GTO preflop though they only raised 2.5bb---Why? Was that standard for them to make smaller raises? If we assume our V is not GTO we want to look for exploit indicators- bet sizing deviations or patterns are what we want to take note of. Does this V bet larger with bluffs to get folds - do they bet half pot with value etc etc---Whenever we have an aggro player on our table we want to focus our attention on their play and get as many reads as we can before we get into spots like this.
