Yeah, hadn't really considered this point. Makes it seem more likely that either of them could have been limp/calling preflop with small pairs and then taking the chance no one had a jack or over pair.
For the record, the turn came another Jack and UTG bet 1/2 pot and MP2 folded. Hindsight is a beautiful thing but that 1/2 psb had me thinking he was desperate for a call. I'll never know though.
