Bretzfield Calls For River Card Correctly But Still Loses

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Matthew Bretzfield
Matthew Bretzfield

There was a three-way all in preflop with Matthew Bretzfield with the shortest stack.

Matthew Bretzfield: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Kelly Kielbasa: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Harry Lodge: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}

The flop came {8-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts} to give Lodge the spade draw. The turn was the {4-Diamonds}. Bretzfield called for a deuce for the wheel and indeed it came the {2-Diamonds} as he celebrated.

But then he noticed that the sixes of Kielbasa had the higher straight and his joy changed to him walking to the payouts.
