Helin Makes the Right Call

Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Kym Nguyen opened to 3,000 from early position and Joonas Helin called from middle position.
The flop came 8?9?6? and Nguyen check-called a 1,500 bet from Helin.
Both players checked the 7? turn leading to the 6? river. Nguyen bet 4,000 and Helin called.
Nguyen could only show A?J? for a bluff while Helin turned over A?9? for two pair and took the pot.
