Flop call is very questionable.
Turn check-raise is bad IMO. This board will get checked through so many times against passive opponents. And check-raising doesn't protect your hand as anyone with a flush draw will call anyways. Bet the turn for value.
Looks like MP3 filled up with a set or with AK. MP1 probably spiked trips. I'd probably check-call the river given that you'll get some overcalls from weaker hands when you are ahead.

You could have folded the flop. You have 4 outs to the GSD, needing 10.5:1, while the pot is only giving you 8.5:1. I guess you could make up the extra in implied odds, so a call is borderline.

You also could have bet the turn. You hit your hand, so you want as much $$$ in as possible. MP3 obviously loves his hand, so bet and get MP1 to call and MP3 to raise so you can 3-bet. Why would you want to force MP1 to call 2 cold when you have the nuts? (For now, at least.)

River sucks with MP1 waking up, but you can't fold now. At least, I couldn't.
