We should check flop with bottom 2 here, right?

$55 ACR tournament
About 20 players from bubble. Three heathiest stacks at the table, each with over 60 bbs involved. V1 has 82 bbs and min raises from UTG. I have 67 bbs and call from HJ with QsTs. V2 in BB is table chip leader with 102 bbs and also calls.
Flop (8 bbs): AsQdTh. Both Vs check. I check. Does anyone advocate betting here? I just feel it's pretty likely this hand either clobbered V1's range, or he has a pp smaller than the board and I won't get any action from worse, or hands that have a lot of equity even if I'm ahead.
Anyway, here's the rest of the runout.
Turn (8 bbs). Jh. V1 checks. V2 bets 4 bbs. I call.
River (16 bbs). 7s. V1 bets 8 bbs. I fold.

I called the small bet on the turn either to win on a check back, or to catch a Q or T. I would have folded to a larger bet, but the price seemed well worth it with my stack being able to stand losing four more bbs without too much impact. If QT comes on river and he bets, I am not raising. The real dilemma is if he checks.
