A Pair of Queens Beats a Pair of Jacks

We found Eddie Sabat mixing it up reraising his opponent preflop for 1,500. The under-the-gun player called and both were awarded a flop of {Q-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts}. The guy under the gun moved all in and Sabat made the call.

Sabat: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

We then saw a turn of a {2-Spades} and a river of {4-Diamonds}. neither of which helped Sabat's losing pair of jacks.
