I am curious why you chose not to c-bet when you hit the pair on the flop. I think I would have bet, and maybe even overbet, like put your $45k bet in on the flop instead of the river. Or just stack it in, and far more often than not you will pick it up right there and add $60k to your stack.
Your top pair will usually be ahead in a spot like this and if they want to call and try to put a beat on you why not let them. Every now and then they will have a crusher hidden away and you will look like a fool but so what, who cares.
Like i said every street was close imo, flop check a little bit of pot control, a little bit of hand strenght disguised. I obviously could’ve just bet , but thought it was more profitable to check, both decisions are close imo.
