Hi,
While I was playing SNGs yesterday I came across one strange thing about which I still feel kind of dumbfounded. It was 6max hyper-turbo satellite. There were three players left (including me) with top two to win an entry, so it was on the bubble. One of my opponents had a bigstack while I and the other guy had exactly the same amount of chips. BTN (guy with the same stack) shoved, I called from SB and bigstack overcalled us and eventually won the hand. So I checked the tourney lobby to find myself placed as a bubble boy, on third place. I'm wondering why..
I guess it's not a thing that would happen very often, but when it does, it could make quite crucial difference, so I'm sure it has to have some rules.
The only thing came to my mind was that it might be determined by strenght of losing hands (as I was beaten by both of them - i.e. guy with the same stack had the second best hand), but it seems weird to me.
Does anyone have any idea on what is decisive in such cases? If you think it's strenght of losing hand as well, then what would be decisive in case where two same-stacked guys have even the same losing hand?
