3 playersI'm all in pre-flop
Flop is all diamonds which gives me a flush.
After the flop the other 2 players are all in and there's a side pot for them.
We see each other's cards. Both have pocket pairs, I'm ahead.
Another diamond and I'm now losing to a higher diamond in 1 players hand.
The hand finishes with no changes to that status - I have a flush, another player has a higher flush, the last player has a pocket pair but was in a side pot with the hand winner.
The winner takes us both out, who came second in this hand please?
It determined who won points and money

You're in third place because you had the smallest stack.

The action in the hand and your final hand does not matter. The flush vs pair, etc Your stack prior to the start of the hand is what matters when a big stack knocks off two smaller stacks in a single hand.

3rd place. All about stack size when it comes to elimination. The only relevancy hand ranking goes to is which pot goes to whom.
