Thin Value or a Bluff?

Level 9 : 300/600, 50 ante

Chris Moneymaker opened to 1,300 in early position, Lee Childs defended his big blind, and both players checked on a flop of {8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Spades}. The turn was the {5-Diamonds}, Childs led out for 1,700, and Moneymaker called.

The river was the {k-Hearts}, Childs fired out another 3,600, and Moneymaker begrudgingly called. Childs announced that he had a pair of eights, showing {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, and Moneymaker mucked.

"I'm not sure if that was a bluff or a value bet?" Moneymaker asked no one in particular.
