Default Strange hand I observed this weekend

I witnessed the following hand in a very soft 20/40 game at Commerce this weekend. Think about how each of the key participants played their hands -- what would you have done differently in their seats?

The key participants were:
Boyishly handsome guy (BHG): A young guy who works for a major Internet company. He's been very aggressive and has shown down several winners tonight.
Goofy Southerner (GS): A middle-aged guy who calls people "fella" and has been consuming several glasses of wine. He cold-calls too much and generally only raises with the nuts.
Random guy (RG): He's got a big stack in front of him, but he's spent a lot of time bonding with the big dinner next to him and hasn't played many hands lately.

BHG is in MP, with GS to his immediate left. RG is on the button.

Two limpers to BHG, who raises with AA. GS calls with KK, two more callers, RG limps on the button with 5d6d. Blinds and limpers all call(!).

Flop: 755 rainbow

Checked around to GS, who bets. All call (OK, maybe one early limper folded, but there were a lot of chips being splashed around here).

Turn: 2

Checked to GS, who bets again. One limper, the RG, and the blinds all call. BHG check-raises, GS 3-bets. RG calls, blinds fold, BHG calls.

River: 9

BHG checks, GS checks, RG bets, BHG calls, GS calls.
