22: BBA: Order of Finish and Bounty Prizes

In games played with big blind ante, if ITM and two or more players bust, the player with the larger starting stack after the ante is put in will finish higher. Likewise if a bounty is in play the player with the larger stack after the ante will receive the higher prize.

Three times now I have finished 2nd but have been ranked 3rd and it has cost me elo and arena points. This is terribly wrong.

When 2 (or more) players bust out in the same hand, the finishing order is determined by the pre-deal stack size. I had a bigger stack than the other player in these 3 games yet he ended up ranked ahead of me. This is terribly wrong. No poker room on Earth would ever get this ranking wrong.

And any regular poker player knows this.
