Default Why the slight increase in win% here? (from poker calculator)

Hi, I was playing around w/ poker calculator. I was wondering why top and bottom pair had a slight advantage to top two pair in the following scenario:

Flop is a[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] j[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] t[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

According to two dimes calculator...

9d 7d 418 42.22 563 56.87 9 0.91 0.427

whereas...

9d 7d 392 39.60 589 59.49 9 0.91 0.401

So, why the slight bump in win% for AT over AJ? don't quite see how having another T in play helps the other guy in this case, but I'm probably missing something obvious.

Thanks for yur help

one less diamond for 97 to hit. The 10 of diamonds makes A10 a full house
