Phillip Hilm Doubles with Quads

Philip Hilm, starting the day with 7,175 in chips, got his short stack all in preflop vs. an early-position opponent. Hilm showed {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} and was in a race situation against his opponent's {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}. Hilm flopped a set when it came down {J-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}. The turn was the {K-Hearts} opening up a straight draw for his opponent, but Hilm caught the case jack on the river to make quads and double his stack to 14,000.
