Board
Seat 3: acemagnets2 (button) (small blind) showed and won (9790) with a full house, Queens full of Deuces
Seat 4: Cricket_Fire (big blind) showed and lost with a flush, Ace high
Did I make the right call? I've gotta pay 3070 to win 5670 (and the tourny). That's ~1.8 to 1 (close to 1/3 right?). Odds of making my hand (assuming an ace is good) is ~48%. Correct call, right?
Thank you!

Your opponent went all-in at the flop which means that he hit the board and you haven't had more than a flush draw and ace high. Thats a coin-flip decision at best. That you were lucky at the turn and that your opponent was even luckier at the river isn't a point.
If your call was right is maybe a matter of taste. You were the chip-leader and many players would take the chance to take out their opponent from that position. In my opinion the call wasn't right. You may have a coinflip-decision almost anytime preflop in heads-on. I'd prefer to wait for a real opportunity.

Good call. Your getting good pot odds and you if you lose you still 3700 in chips left.

After you put that 1k in on the flop it's hard to get away from it. I don't think you had the pot odds to call, but it cost you alot to fold it too. From a complete gamble standpoint I dont' mind it, but you can't feel that great about it either. I think you could make a case for folding or calling here.
Don't be result driven though, after you hit the flush I bet you were hurting your arm patting yourself on the back on what a great call it was till the river fell.
