Antoine Goutard had raised from the cutoff and Joaquin Carmona shoved on the button. Action folded back to Goutard who called.

Joaquin Carmona: {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Antoine Goutard: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The flop came {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}{j-Hearts} to give Goutard quads immediately while the whole tabled gasped and laughed at the same time. Carmona got up from his chair as he was drawing dead.

The {7-Diamonds} on the turn and the {3-Clubs} on the river was just a formality as Carmona was sent to the payout desk to collect €6,370 for finishing in 24th place.
