Default AA holds up!

Background: I'm playing at a guy's flat in Edinburgh, NLHE, blinds are 10p/20p. I buy in for the minimum £15 and by the end of the night have £20 (roughly). The guy who owns the flat wants some sleep so he says: 'right, last hand'.

Im on the big blind, look down at AA.

Action pre-flop:

UTG raises to 70p, fold, Gus min-raises to £1.20, Tom raises to £3.20, Ryan raises
to £7, all before it gets to me. I don't want to be up against 4
other hands, and the only real option for me here is to push, right? So I push for £20 total and UTG calls, Gus calls, Tom folds, Ryan calls. Their stacks respectively were £14, 12 and £18. So after splitting up the side pots, we flip them over.

UTG has AK
Gus has J-10 (he was just in it for the value)
Ryan has QQ
I have AA

Flop: J-K-9
Turn: 8
River: 4

My aces held up, and I take down a £64 pot on the last hand. HEHE. Before I could move, I had a raise, re-raise, re-re-raise and a re-re-re-raise.

Comments welcome.

I take it these guys you play with don't really care too much about money...I believe 20 euros is about $30 or so American, correct? Well, with the exception of the pocket queens, I don't see how any of the calls could have been made...When faced with the first re-raise, AK should have known he was at a coin flip at best, JT had no business in the hand..even for the value...and queens...honestly I think I would have been able to fold them to the massive reraise and calls. Doesn't matter though - you came out on top, so nice job!
