€1 PL O MTT: Overplayed my huge stack in a PKO tournament for a huge bounty

The tournament started with 100 BB. It was at level 7, 7 minutes for each level, and the late registration and rebuy would end at level 8 (where the stacking stack would be 20 BB). The starting stack was 25 BB at that point.

The situation at the start of the hand was follows:
SB: 130.41 BB, €1.36 bounty
BB: 316.32 BB, €1.68 bounty
UTG: 25 BB, €0.50 bounty
CO: 119.18 BB, €2.24 bounty
Me (BTN): 135.91 BB, €1.50 bounty, hole cards 6d 4c 3c 2c

The above stack represented about 3-4x the tournament average stack, with most of the leading players at my table.

Pre-flop:
SB posted 0.5 BB
BB posted 1 BB
I got dealt 6d 4c 3c 2c
UTG folded
CO raised to 3.5 BB
I called 3.5 BB
SB called
BB folded

Flop (11.5 BB) 9d 5s 2d
SB checked
CO bet 8.05 BB
I raised to 21.85 BB
SB folded
CO raised to 77.05 BB
I raised to 132.25 BB
CO called all-in, matching 115.58 BB, so 16.74 BB returned to me

CO showed Kd Qd Qs 3d, and I ended up being 41% to 59% underdog.

The €2.24 on his head had masked my rational thinking here to the extent that I risked my lead of the tournament. When should I have stopped raising and just called?

I have not read the whole hand JUST FOLD preflop
If you are going to chase low hands do not block the best hand you can make- straight flush -with the cards in your own hand- JUST FOLD this hand and any like it in the future-
JUST FOLD --the frequency of you making a nut hand is soo low JUST FOLD.

Good Luck in your future PLO games---
