A comment left with our earlier post offers one possible explanation for why we were shuffled down in the order. We think (but we could be wrong) the rules for multiple take-outs vary from house to house. In our local live tournaments, the player eliminated with the larger stack gets the higher finish. (That was our case in this tournament.) But we've also seen cases where the first player to push gets the higher finish.

So we didn't win $10 Wednesday night after all. We'll have to do better, to put the payout beyond question. In the meantime, we're reminded of these classic words:

The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. -- Job 1:21
