Applying pressure, final table bubble river spot

Blinds: t12,000/t24,000 (5 Players) CO: 66,418
BN: 1,269,268
SB: 707,122
BB: 971,191 (Hero)
UTG: 756,520
Preflop (36,000) Hero is BB with T 6
3 folds, SB calls 12,000, Hero raises to 80,000, SB calls 56,000
Flop (180,000) 4 5 2
SB checks, Hero bets 70,155, SB calls 70,155
Turn (320,310) 4 5 2 8
SB checks, Hero bets 136,555, SB calls 136,555

So my pc is playing up but river was 9s, villain checks, pot is 593420, villain has 416412 remaining.

I know a lot of you guys would have checked pre however villain is playing very passively, I believed it to be a good spot to apply pressure.
The tournament average stack was 640000 with 10 left and there were two stacks under 100000. On opr his biggest cash to date was >$200 and by laddering up from 10th to 8th he would have improved his biggest cash.

Flop I thought was an easy c bet with the gut shot, I was also assuming a large portion of his range would include broadways, connecters and weak aces.

Turn was pretty amazing I thought as we turn the double gut shot, we block his straights with the 6 and we can safely keep repping over pairs, I was thinking of betting a larger sizing but wanted to maximize fold equity on safe rivers for us to shove.

River I think we should shove, all his one pair with draws have missed, plus overs with flush draw. We have all over pairs in our range plus sets of 88 99 which villain doesn't have. Also believed villain SHOULD be over folding given icm pressure. The negative is we have a very workable stack if we give up and down to 10bb if called. The tournament wasn't super tough.

Any ideas of how to play this post flop after our pre flop action would be great. If anyone is curious I shoved, he thought for 5-10 seconds and called with A5dd. Gutted!

I think I like your line post. Pre, if you are going to raise the absolute trash, you should raise to at least 4-4.5x. It doesn't make sense to raise a little above 3x allowing SB to call most of his limps, which is exactly why he is limping (unless you had a read indicating otherwise).

Your right, a larger raise would Def get more fold equity from his limps. I would have preferred a larger raise size if we were slightly deeper. Do you not think that there might be something to be said for raising smaller to keep the spr higher. We could potentially maneuver him off his hand over 3 streets easier?

First of all I don't like applying pressure with T6o, I prefer to wait for a nicer sittuation. Since you 3bet him, I agree with q3timmy, it has to be at least 4x. On the flop I would cbet 55%-65%...I think 70k is to good for him, specially with he has a any str8 or flush draw, or even a pair. Turn I`d go check check for pot control and river would bet something like 150k...

I feel a turn check may be best, once he calls flop his range properly Ax, flush draws, pair and straight draws, 76 and 89. Sets and overs unlikely as no raise pre but possible as low board. None of this range is folding turn given stack sizes. If you bet turn and he raises big Im not supper happy calling to hit draw my draw. check you can may hit your draw and stack him if he has set/straight or you can bet river which will have far more fold equity and preserve your stack if he calls to play on in the "soft" tornie.
