Leading With a Flush Draw in a Multiway Pot

Today's hand comes from a €2,000 side event I played in a tournament series in Europe not too long ago. It was early, with the blinds just 50/100. I had about 30,000 to start this hand, with my opponents all at around 25,000 and the table playing short-handed with six players seated.

A player in middle position raised to 250, and three players (hijack, button, small blind) all called behind him. I was in the big blind with and called as well, and with five players in the hand the flop fell , giving me a flush draw.
