Battle of the Pocket Pairs

Brandon Becker raised to 45,000 from late position and was called only by Corey Burbick from the hijack. The flop came {q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, and both players opted to check. The {4-Hearts} fell on the turn and Becker check-called a bet of 82,000 from Burbick. When the {a-Clubs} hit on the river both players decided to check again.

Becker flipped over his {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} but then Burbick revealed his {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and scooped up the pot.
