You called with WHAT?

CHIMPS NLHE 6-max tonight. I chip up early when my KJ flops trip Jacks against Snarf's pocket KK. Having decided early on that I was going to play aggressively, I stole a lot of smallish pots and stayed toward the top of the board for a while.

Then this happened:
Full Tilt Poker Game #5959203557: CHIMPS II - Event #13 (42844498), Table 3 - 30/60 - No Limit Hold'em - 21:33:36 ET - 2008/04/08
Seat 1: zsg (1,340)
Seat 2: djm182 (2,155)
Seat 3: enuf-fo-bofus (2,870)
Seat 4: rascony (1,445)
Seat 6: Aces88ss (3,355)
Aces88ss posts the small blind of 30
zsg posts the big blind of 60
The button is in seat #4
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to djm182 [Jh Kd]
djm182 calls 60 (I'm UTG, but with two paint cards in 6-max, why not?)
enuf-fo-bofus folds
rascony folds
Aces88ss folds
zsg checks
*** FLOP *** [6h Qs Js]
zsg checks
djm182 bets 120 (This may take it down. Just under pot-sized)
zsg calls 120
*** TURN *** [6h Qs Js] [3d]
zsg checks (OK, another check. The 3d helped nobody.)
djm182 bets 240 (Try again to take it down)
zsg raises to 480 (What would he check-raise with? I read this as it happened as a steal attempt to counteract my aggression)
djm182 calls 240
*** RIVER *** [6h Qs Js 3d] [8s]
zsg has 15 seconds left to act
zsg checks (and right here I think I'm right)
djm182 bets 450
zsg has 15 seconds left to act
zsg calls 450 (OK, he's got a decent Q)
*** SHOW DOWN ***
djm182 shows [Jh Kd] a pair of Jacks
zsg shows [Qc 4s] a pair of Queens (WHAT???)
zsg wins the pot (2,250) with a pair of Queens

Obv., this crippled me. But how on God's green earth do you make that call?

FYI, here are my notes for zsg:

"Will defend his BB to the death if hits board in ANY WAY."

(Nope, not kidding.)
