Preflop: You are nearly chip leader and only 7 guys left. With JJ I would raise 3xBB in that case. But your call is not really bad beacuse of your bad position.
Flop: You bet the pot, he raises and you call, seems okay for me.
Turn: You check and wait what he is doing. I would have done the same. His bet on the turn, however, was very bad. He could have draw to his straight or flush for free!
Now the chip position comes into consideration: Against someone with less chips I would have raised all-in. But your opponent is the only one with more chips than you. Therfore, I would have folded on the turn.
River: Difficult decision. The pot is very large. I think your call is okay.

I put Booya on a medium pair and never really considered the flush draw since he raised me on the flop. He is a calling station.

On the turn you shouldn't make a weak bet like that, after betting 600 on the flop. You have to decide whether or not you still think you have the best hand, and either bet larger or check.
