Have always wondered this. let's say I'm in the final table of a tournament, 3 players left and I'm in second place. What happens if there is a 3-way all in and the chip leader wins?

Do we chop 3rd and 2nd place prize money? Or did I finish in second because I had the most chips before the all in?

In this situation you finish second due to the chip count, no chop, :deal:

Ahhhhh, chip count before the hand. Makes so much sense. I've 5 way tied and been the bubble boy before in a MTT, had no clue how they decided the tie. I thought "strength of final hand" or something like that. Thank you for this.
