Early Bird Benefit - Bubble Protection - What happens if multiple players are eliminated at once around the bubble of the tournament?

When the 'bubble' is about to occur in a tournament then the event will switch to 'hand for hand' mode, this means that a new hand will not begin until all tables left in the event have completed the current hand.

In this scenario the time of elimination will not determine the finishing order of players, however, the amount of chips each player started that hand with will be the deciding factor. With the eliminated player with the largest stack at the start of the hand being placed highest. Further places will also be decided via this method with the player with the smallest starting stack being placed last out of the eliminated players.
