Playing the big boys

Top 2 places each get $14,000 packages, next 3 share $4000 excess...so probably the biggest game I've ever played in!
Been playing for short of an hour...very tight and only hands I've played were small pots.

Holding top pair top kicker...in hindsight if I'd raised the pot I would have taken it down there and then.
But no, maybe being gready I wanted somebody else to play so I could raise...it all worked just as I wanted...

End of game 963444015

Now this isn't a bad beat thread...I know it was unlucky...but did I basically play it wrong?
Should I have been pushing the betting after the flop instead of being a smart arse and looking for the check/raise?
Or even folding to the pot bet?

Ah well...qualified for this $1090 entry game by filling in a questionaire, then winning the resultant freeroll, so it didn't cost me anything...just a few pipe dreams that's all.
