That's what I thought. I'm wondering if the dealer agreed with the other player because she didn't see the straight, either, and wanted to save face by claiming she would have called the hand anyway.
I've done this before when a player tables a hand and I can see the dealer looking at the tabled hands with a little confusion, I'll say, "Their 8 makes a straight" or whatever, and they'll usually nod, thank me, and ship the pot. But this dealer made it seem like I was out of line for correcting my friend's misdeclared hand.
