Who finishes second?
Question:
Three players remain. The big stack goes all-in with Q6. The 2nd player goes all-in with Q9. The 3rd player goes all-in with AQ. After all five community cards are turned, the big stack wins because he paired his 6. The player, with AQ, has the next highest hand. The third player has the worst hand - Q9.

At the start of the hand, the Q9 player had two more chips than the AQ player. Who takes second place? The AQ with the higher hand or the Q9 with 2 more chips at the start of the hand? Thanks
Answer:
If there are no side-pots, it doesn't matter who has the second-best hand. One could say that both hands lost. In this hand, the player with Q6 scoops the pot and wins the tournament. Second place goes to the player with the most chips before the cards were dealt.
