Blunder
You definitely should have raised pre-flop.
Most importantly, I dont agree with your all-in raise after the turn:
1 - You let 4 opponents limp in "your" pot, 2 spades come on the flop and one of your opponents calls your post-flop bet. If he had made two-pair or trips, we would probably raise with that flop to shove away the draws. A call can mean two things: he is on a flush draw (the first thing you've got to have in mind) or he has hit a pair.
2 - You bet like that because you thought you had the best hand, but what do you expect to achieve with that bet? The only hand you can beat is one pair, and noone with just a pair of queens would call, especially so early in a live tournament. So, you can only expect to steal the pot, at best, with your all-in bet (and you could do this with a standard bet of half the pot, without risking your tournament). Most importantly, if he was on a draw he would now have completed his flush and would gladly take all your chips.
Therefore, IMO that play has a very negative expected value and is a big big blunder.
A standart cbet or a check is are the only plays you can make here.
