against Hanny Kiroloss' 
and the flop had already come 
, much to Kiroloss' dismay. The 
came on the turn but then the dealer slowly turned the river card over, the 
. Kiroloss jumped from his chair, let out a loud whoop, and yelled "YES!" He then calmed down a bit and shook the other player's hand who took the whole situation very well considering he had just been eliminated.
As a result of his celebration Kiroloss was assessed a one-hand penalty but he took it willingly and with a huge grin on his face. "I don't mind" he said as he stacked up his new chips.
