Default River spot with 55, check behind or bet?

Very early in the 50k on stars, no reads on villian.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)

UTG+1 (t3030)
MP1 (t3430)
MP2 (t2970)
MP3 (t2970)
CO (t3000)
Button (t2970)
SB (t2410)
Hero (t2970)
UTG (t3220)

Preflop: Hero is BB with , .
2 folds, MP1 raises to t60, 4 folds, SB calls t50, Hero calls t40.

Flop: (t180) , , (3 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, MP1 checks.

Turn: (t180) (3 players)
SB bets t140, Hero calls t140, MP1 folds.

River: (t460) (2 players)
SB checks, Hero ???

Final Pot: t460

He seems pretty weak after the river, do you think I can win by checking or are hands like 77/88 in his range that I could maybe fold out?

Check. I think your hand wins enough at SD, and his better hands call your bet enough, that betting here as a bluff is a mistake.

He bet into 2 people on the turn with an extremely drawy board, I think he has you beat. OTOH, bluffing in position on the river in small pots which have had little action rarely works (that is, you can rarely get someone to fold if they have a hand with any showdown value), so I'd check.
