Who Gets Second Place

Question: Who finishes in 2nd place?

Top 3 Beginner Rooms

Situation:

1 table, 3 players remaining

Player #1 goes all in with $10

Player #2 goes all in with $15 (a side pool of $5 is created)

Player #3 sees the $10 and $5 raises

Player #3 wins the hand and game, gets 1st place money

Who gets the 2nd place money

- players #1 and #2 split it?

- Player #2?

Answer: I understand your question but let me adjust it slightly so it is clearer:

Player #1 goes all in with $10

Player #2 goes all in with $15 (a side pot of $5 is created)

Player #3 calls

Player #3 wins the hand and game, gets 1st place money

The rule for this situation is that the person with the second amount of chips, gets second place. So in the example above, Player #2 had more chips when the hand started so he gets second place and Player #1 gets third.
