Hi all, I am new and I have a question.
I have just returned from a friendly home tournament (we usually play a cash game but decided we didn't have enough players).
we had four players and said we would have a prize for the winner (75%) and second place (25%).
at the final hand, the three remaining players all went "all in".
the chip leader won. one player said there was no second place, just joint third. The other said that the second place went to the person with most chips at the start of the hand.
Does anyone know the correct answer? They both seem to make sense. At one point someone said it would go by dint of where you were sitting - so if on the first hand everyone went all in with identical stacks, and one player won - the second, third and fourth spots would be awarded just by where you were sitting - this seems very odd.
Does anyone know the real answer.
Thanks
Jack
