What happened to the bb player? Did he fold on the flop?

[CardSharpCook]

Well, UTG+2 is either trying to buy a free card with his min-raise to see if his AK can hit, OR he is nervous about his overpair. Since this is B&M, I make some kind of thoughtful grunt at seeing the 2nd club and then push in all my chips. Since this is B&M UTG+2 MIGHT actually fold his overpair, which is why I am making this bet. I'm not at all worried that UTG+2 has a Ten, but if I check here, he'll likely check behind (gaining confidence in his overpair OR getting a free draw to a winner).

BB folded on flop

I'm not at all worried that UTG+2 has a Ten. quote

He raised preflop and reraised UTG+1 on the flop of TTJ. What makes you so sure he doesnt have a Ten?He could have TT, KT. AT. 9t. or QT.

[CardSharpCook]

He raised PF after a limper. If we can assume he is a good player, the only hand he would do this with is TT. He min-raise on the flop is a scared bet. People who just flopped trips don't make scared bets. They either call behind or they raise a reasonable amount.

You are ignoring PF play. Out of position, after a limper, UTG+2 raised. IF he is a reasonable player, there is only one hand he would do this with. The ONLY remaining combination of TT. If you just flop quads, are you really going to scare out the BB and take the action away from UTG+1??? If you want to include hands like ATs, KTs.... well, then you have a problem, because the only people who raise here in this situation with ATs are very unpredictable players who might butcher the flop like this, because they just don't know any better. HOWEVER, most players that don't know any better limp with these hands PF.

No, UTG+2 does not have a ten. And if he does, FINE!!! Sometimes you get the fish, sometimes the fish get you.
