Single table NL tournament at Gaming Club. Of the four players left I'm the short stack. I payed the BB of 640 and find I'm dealt 22. I have exactly 300 left at this point - not enough to cover the SB. The other players are all around 3000 each.
UTG raises all-in, slight chip leader in MP reraises all-in and the button calls all in! Couldn't be a better time to put my measly 300 in the pot. From this point on, the Gaming Club software deals this out in a couple seconds... way too fast for me to catch all the details. UTG turns over 99, MP turns over KQs I think and the button turns over TT. I can't recall the flop with any accuracy, but it's immaterial to this post. No one improves their hand except lucky me when I catch a third 2 on the river. Then the software shuts down the table and gives me first place. There was at least one sidepot, but the tournament ended anyway. I would have thought that the winner of the sidepot(s) and I should have kept playing. Am I missing something or is this faulty software? I'd be annoyed if I were the guy holding the second best hand.
