Did Someone Order the Nut Flush?

Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Mathieu His opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 60,000, and Umesh Babusukumar called from early position. The rest of the table got out of the way, leaving the two to battle it out heads-up.
The flop came 2♦5♣3♠, and both players opted to check.
On the 8♣ turn, Babusukumar checked again, prompting His to fire a bet of 50,000. Babusukumar smoothly called.
The river had Babusukumar lead out for 125,000. His contemplated, then made the call and mucked immediately when Babusukumar flipped over the nut flush with A♣Q♣.
