Calling draws on paired boards is dicey due to RIO. I don't hate it here due to the bet is small relative to large stacks behind and we shouldn't get ourselves into commitment decisions if hitting and not good, but it's still dicey.
I hate checking the turn. The Button could have easily been cbetting air on the flop with his 1/3rd PSB (this would be my sizing) to setup a turn check, and he could even easily be pot controlling with an overpair once 2 players call this board. We're mostly targeting getting paid off by the fish and have for some reason totally missed on attempting to do that.
As played, I just flat. A check/raise just blows him off of most hands. I would then donk the river and fold to a raise (I'm actually a little concerned on why he's still betting).

V tends to give up a lot (very fit/fold) so even after his raise there's a decent chance I end up playing against the fish.
This V basically never c-bets with air, so he probably has an overpair or 9T/A9s.
Not too concerned about RIO considering he has very few boat combos in his range. 78 would be a much dicier draw here.
I think the turn is my only real opportunity to build a bigger pot because so many rivers will scare him or improve his hand. I guess I could call and hope for a brick river, but I don't think he's folding over-pairs to a x/r here.
If I donk the river, it has basically the same effect (and similar sizing), but the board has probably just gotten scarier (or my hand has been ruined).
