Stroke Misreads Hand

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was on the river as the board read {6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{k-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}. John Barker bet 5,000 on the river from the small blind into a pot of about 15,000. Shawn Stroke thought for a decent amount of time before calling.

Barker said "you win" and tabled the {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for ace-high. Stroke turned over his hand which was the {q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for queen high which he quickly realized was not what he thought as he claimed he thought he had queen-six and Barker took in an unexpected pot.
