Weird rule question ...

[MrDarling]

This will probably never happen in real life, but I'm sure there is a rule about it :
Single table SNG, first 3 cash.
First hand every one go AI. One player win it all.
Who get 2nd and 3rd prize?

Happened in my MTT 2 weeks ago. The person who lost, but had the most chips prior to the final hand gets 2nd and the other 3rd. As was the case in the tourney in which I played, 3rd & 4th went out at on the same hand with the same number of chips. Therefore, 3rd & 4th payouts were put together then split evenly for both players.

every one have the same amount of chips when going AI

Ohhh, sorry missed that part. I'm really not sure.
If you see this, please denote all of the players involved and send me a list.

I imagine that falls under the, "it's not going to happen, so let's not make a rule" category.

But, if it were to happen, the 2nd & 3rd place prize money would be pooled and split between the nine people who tied for second.

[MrDarling]

actually a situation like that can happen : On the bubble, or anywhere in the money where there is a gap, two players with the exact same chips count go AI, 3rd player that covers bust them both.

2nd and 3rd would be split evenly to all others.

[Dave B]

I know that.

[BeerWench13]

It's the most logical solution, IMO.

Is that a made up email??

So let's see - 9-man $100 SnG on Stars paid $450/$270/$180

Everyone goes all-in and one guy wins. He gets $450 and the rest get $56.25 each. Not good. If you were the player to the right of the original all-in guy, you could fold and guarantee $270. That is a +EV play.
