Two unpaired hands with all four ranks live: AQ vs T8s. AQ wins 60.9%, T8s wins 38.6%, and 0.4% of boards chop. The favorite isn't running away with it — 38.6% of the time T8s pairs up first or backs into the better runout — but higher cards making higher pairs is enough to keep AQ in front.
Here's the intuition behind 61.2% to 38.8%: AQ wins roughly 2 of every 3 times the chips go in, but the underdog cashing 38.8% of the time is exactly why you can't slow-play and let it draw for free.
