Split place

[MyMindIsGoing]

Lets say we are three people in the pot with 4 persons remaining. I have 500 chips, another guy has 100 and a third bigstack has both of us covered. Now the bigstack sets us both all in and we both call and lose to him. Should this be a split 3rd place (splitting up 3rd place money) or should the person who started the hand with most chips of the two who went out get the 3rd place by himself? Prima splits the money, witch I think is wrong, what does party/stars do?

Not sure about Party/Stars, but I think UB gives u 2nd and the other guy 3rd - based on chip count before the hand, as it should be.

Yeah, Ive had that happen on Prima several times. Especially on the Extreme Turbo SnGs. I think this makes those Extreme Turbos less profitable because this situation comes up alot.

pokerstars and party both give the person with more chips predeal the better rank.
