Question for those of you who are "math inclined"...would it make sense for the guy in 5th place to "fall back" on the FTP rules for the site going down and take that payout (his share of the remaining pot based on current chip counts I guess) than it would for him to play it out?

Generally no, the short stack usually gets screwed in multi-way chip chops. I guess if he thought he had a significant skill disadvantage it may be ok, but not normally.

Assuming absolutely no skill difference between the 5 people left, and assuming they are each convinced that they will bust in the order of the chip count, it would make sense for the bottom three people to take the payout based on chip counts. The top two should fight it tooth & nail.
