Good Fold by Mattila?

Level 6
: 200/400, 400 ante

Jussi Mattila and Chino Rheem are busy exchanging stories on the felt. Both players have also been actively playing tons of hands as well.
In a recent hand, Mattila opened to 1,200 before he called a three-bet of 4,000 from Kaupo Tenno.
Flop:
"Good? Bad?" asked Mattila to Tenno.
Tenno stayed stoic throughout and Mattila check-called a bet of 4,500.
Mattila checked again after the came on the turn and Tenno fired out for 12,000. Mattila thought for a moment before he turned over the
for at least top pair as he folded.
"What did you have?" asked Mattila.
"Aces," said Tenno. "Been waiting for aces."
"You are a bad liar," said Mattila which got a laugh from the entire table.
