Who would win 2nd prize in a texas holdem poker tournament in this situation?

three people are all in.

person A (with king-king) has 200 chips.
person B (with ace-10) has 50 chips.
person C (with 10-4) has 100 chips.

the cards come down Q-10-Q-2-5.
person A wins but who comes second, B who had a better final hand or C who had more chips than B?

It would be 1st A 2nd B and 3rd C

regardless of chip count they were all-in so chips became mute. Since A had KKQQ10 they won
Since B had QQ1010A(higher kicker wins the hand of B,C)
Since C had QQ10105(lower kicker lesser hand loses to B)

If A had not had "cowboys" B would have won correct? thus B would have beat C. This being said C would have beaten A without the "cowboys" they would have taken the second side pot and B taking the main pot leaving A with third side pot or what his opponents could not match.

Pot 1(everyone matching B’s all-in)150
Pot 2(A matching C’s all-in)100
Pot 3(A being the only one automaticly wins this pot)100 of course there would only be a third pot if A went all-in first.

A(without K’s) 100 chips
B(without A having K’s) 150 chips
C(without A having K’s) 100 chips

    I would have to say person C. But, it depends on if person B bets or checks out their hand. If person B bets first and doesn’t check, then he will win. It is all about betting at the right time…
