Folding the river here would be terrible.

MP1's excessive flop action could easily be a bigger overpair, top pair or (unlikely) a straight trying to "punish" the flush draws. You're getting 11.5:1 on the river with your 7th nut (lol) flush, you have to call, even though you probably haven't won. With the board pairing, there's not much you can put MP1 on that you beat here except perhaps TT or JJ with no diamonds, but you have to make this river call as you've got there.
