That's a good question. I believe it goes in order of who gets knocked out, right? So the question is who shows first? Assume C shows last. And C's hand beats A's hand beat's B's hand. A shows, B shows. B gets knocked out, B's in third place. C shows, A gets knocked out, A's in second place. But C could show first, or A and B could have equal hands, it doesn't matter at this point. Ranking is based on who exits the tournament when. So really, it's not your cards that count at this point for A and B, it's luck, just luck. There might be some other rule that comes into play when two or more players get knocked out on the last hand--standings might be determined for those players another way. But it probably depends on the tournament and the situation.
