Lower tie chance but higher equity multiway

I was playing in pokerstrategy equilab, seeing how well specific hands would fare against ATC. I did monte carlo simulation of 33 vs two opponents playing any two cards for 2 billion hands and found something surprising: these were the results:
Everyone seems to have approximately the same chance of winning. But 33 has lower chance of tying, yet it's equity is higher than the others. The only explanation i can think of is that maybe 33 would have more two-way ties than three-way ties, but my intuition thinks the opposite should be true, since 3 is a low card seems unlikely that it would tie against only 1 opponent. So why does this happen?
