Two unpaired hands with all four ranks live: AJ vs 76s. AJ wins 59.6%, 76s wins 40.0%, and 0.4% of boards chop. The favorite isn't running away with it — 40.0% of the time 76s pairs up first or backs into the better runout — but higher cards making higher pairs is enough to keep AJ in front.
Here's the intuition behind 59.8% to 40.2%: AJ wins roughly 1 of every 2 times the chips go in, but the underdog cashing 40.2% of the time is exactly why you can't slow-play and let it draw for free.
