Any thoughts on how this hand was played?

I'd play it the same way. I think the river bet is close though, as UTG+1 could have twopair/set and be scared of a flush/straight since the river completed a bunch of draws. However, I think the times you are ahead of both MP1 and UTG+1 (and get a bet out of both of them) makes up for the times that your river bet is called/checkraised by UTG+1/MP1 and you lose.
