If finishing 1st and 39th is the same thing, and you are 14th out of 50 left I'm going to assume you can basically fold into 39th and qualify.. this came up in HOH2 I believe, where folding pocket aces would have been a good strategy if say there are 10 people left and top 9 get the same thing (and the person wasn't in jeopardy of losing, let's say he was in the top 3)
