Elton Chester (Florida) had a big smile on his face, reacting to the commotion that followed his all-in with pocket queens.

At Table 9, Ellton Chester (Florida) would be sitting with Q♠ Q♣ on a 7♦ 4♣ 3♠ flop, having just shoved for his remaining 6,250.  The action would then proceed to go: all-in for 24,000...all-in for 11,000...and then all-in for 25,000.  That would be three consecutive all-ins after that of Chester, who could only look up and smile, as the dealer figured out the side pots.  Once everything was organized, the hands would be tabled:

Flop: 7♦ 4♣ 3♠

Chester: Q♠ Q♣
Player X: 4♦ 8♦
Player Y: 3♥ 4♥
Player Z: 3♣ 6♠

Turn: 2♠
River: 2♣

Ellton may have thought his hand wasn't the best with all the action that followed, so it didn't come as much surprise to see someone else holding two-pair.  Luckily for Chester, the turn and river would come running deuces, counterfeiting his opponents two-pair.  Ellton scooped up the main pot, which was worth over 35,000, putting him well above the early chip average (26,600).
