Analysis
In this tournament hand, with 8 players, you held 8♣ 6♣ in the cut-off position and faced multiple aggressive bets.
When Player 8, on the button, raised to 200 after a call, you called with a marginal hand. It may have been better to fold here given the weak starting hand and the aggressiveness of the table.
On the flop of 9♠ 3♣ 2♣, you continued betting with high card top pair. Player 8 called, and the other player folded.
After the turn 7♣ that completed a club flush for you, you decided to go all-in, perhaps overestimating the strength of your flush with a weak 9-high card. Player 8, who had a stronger flush with Q♣ 10♣, called and won the main pot. However, you also won the side pot with your smaller remaining bet.
In the future, avoid investing large portions of your stack with marginal hands, especially against aggressive opponents. Consider folding earlier when facing significant aggression to preserve your chips for better opportunities.
