it's pretty lame that they only have holdem and no lhe/nl distinction
I'm pretty sure I would have won the low stakes award otherwise but I can't compete with all those NL donks

It's not a trifecta because you there was a call on the turn. You didn't get max value. This should be pretty obvious. It's a sexy I think.

btw, apart from Stox's basic poker U vids on MTT, can anyone recommend some basic MTT vids for noobs? I don't want to get too much into it, posting in the mtt forums etc, but I wanna have some decent understanding about how I can get the most value out of the sn freerolls.
If I ever manage to ship one it would have a big effect on my roll being a busto stakes grinder.

It's a legit trifecta because capping the turn w/AA in that hand is awful. And it's definitively not a sexy because the definition of a sexy is a check/raise after giving up the initiative.

It doesn't matter if it's awful or whatever strategery wise, it still isn't actually a trifecta. This is explained in the link that was posted. That's part of what makes a trifecta such a rare and desirable animal for your collection. The conditions have to be just right for it.

The only time I've ever c/r x3 was as a bluff in PLO, and my opponent threw his cards at me.
