It doesn't go by who had the better hand in that last hand? Say I lost to trips with a pair of kings and the other guy lost to those same trips, but with a pair of jacks. I've never had to deal with that situation, but if I had I think this is how I would settle it, not that makes it right.

Ten players left- If Player A had one $500 chip and the Kings, Player B has T10k and the Jacks, both all-in against Player C with 15K and the trips..... Player A came in 9th?

If Player A busts out on the first hand, with Kings... then Player B busts out on the second hand, with Jacks.... Player A gets to be 9th, because he busted out with a better hand?

If you didn't know the stack sizes, but you knew they weren't equal... and I told you one player moved all-in, another player with a lesser stack called and then another short stack called behind.... and the first player wins, who would you decide is knocked out "next"?

If you agree that the order of the all-ins don't matter, as far as order of knockout, then you might agree that the ranks of the losing hands don't matter either.


Does that make it a little more clear, as to why it's chip stack and time of bust out, rather than hand quality?
