Third Pair Good for Astedt

Level 12
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Thomas Santerne appeared to call but instead min-raised blind on blind and Niklas Astedt defended his big blind.
Both players checked the K♦J♣2♦ flop and Q♥ turn. The river was the 9♥.
Santerne checked and Astedt bet 20,000. Santerne thought before calling.
"Jack," said Astedt tabling J♠8♥ and Santerne mucked.
"What just happened!" said tablemate Sam Grafton. "Did you just value bet third pair?"
"He knows me," said Santerne.
