Sometimes a Penalty Isn't So Bad

We heard a bit of commotion going on at a nearby table and headed over to see what was going on. A player was all in holding the {j-Clubs}{10-Spades} against Hanny Kiroloss' {4-Spades}{4-Hearts} and the flop had already come {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, much to Kiroloss' dismay. The {5-Hearts} came on the turn but then the dealer slowly turned the river card over, the {4-Diamonds}. 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.
