  Can you please fix it so that players sitting out cannot win when they are all-in for their last chips. This is how it is on Stars and GG Poker and indeed live poker.

  This is actually a feature, not a bug!  We did it this way on purpose, and although it is different than live poker and some other poker sites, one might argue that there's no objectively correct way.  One of the advantages of online poker is being able to do things that would not necessarily be practical or efficient in a live setting, and allowing a sitting-out player the opportunity to win when all-in is one of those things.

   

  With that said, your feedback is noted and appreciated.  If anyone else has an opinion on this topic you'd like to share, please do... we listen.  In the meantime, we will discuss internally the possibility of changing this.

  Ooof really?
  
  I cannot think of a worse way to bust an event to someone who sit-outs their way to ITM or a spot in a satellite.
  
  If your not present your cards should be dead, imo.
