Just want to add, that the value hand, which makes the most sense for Villain to have here, is a boat. It would be weird for a flush to play passive on the turn and then aggressive on the river, when the board has paired. It would also be really loose for him to call the preflop 3-bet and the flop C-bet with any hand containing a naked 9 like K9 or 98, when he cant have 9X of clubs, since 9c is on the board. So I dont think, he have a lot of trips here.

It would however make sense for him to play this way with a boat. On the turn he is concerned with the flush, so he just check-call, but when the board pair on the river, he dont want to risk letting Hero check behind with a hand, that might have called. So he is repping kind of thin, but by betting large on the turn Hero has if anything slightly overrepped his hand. So it would require a lot of balls for him to actually risk his entire stack on a river bluff in a 3-bet pot on a A high board, where Hero can have all the AK/AQ in the world.

As a general rule for stakes like 5NL or 10NL, if you call off an entire stack on the river with top pair, you are probably getting taken to value town far more often, than you are getting shown a bluff. Calling in spots like this also drive up variance, so if you make it your default to fold, you will probably find life at the poker tables more profitable and also less tilting.
