These were their cards in descending order of chip counts:

UTG+1 Player:  
Francisco Torres:  

The board came , and Torres flopped a set of jacks and rivered quads to win the main pot and triple up to about 70,000 in chips. Torres celebrated so loudly that the entire room heard about his quad jacks.

Meanwhile, the middle-position player won the much smaller side pot with his pocket kings to eliminate the UTG+1 player.

Torres told us that he’s been on a run of quads, winning an all-in earlier today when his pocket queens made quads against ace-king, and yesterday in the poker room, he won a high-hand bonus with quad kings.
