Starting chip counts rank players knocked out in the same hand
When several players are eliminated in one hand, their chip values at the start of that hand determine finishing order and prizes: a smaller stack is treated as eliminated before a larger one. If starting stacks are equal, the prizes for the tied positions are split evenly.

In the event multiple players are knocked out of the tournament in the same hand, for purposes of determining finishing positions in the tournament and attributing any prizes, the aggregate value of chips held by such players at the start of the hand they were knocked out in will be used as a tiebreaker, with the player(s) with the smallest aggregate value of chips being deemed to have been eliminated before the player(s) with a higher aggregate value of chips.
In the event multiple players are knocked out of the tournament in the same hand and started the hand with the same chip count, any prizes associated with such finishing position(s) will be distributed evenly amongst such player(s).

Qualifications & exceptions
For Electric Poker, the spinner selecting a prize does not end refund eligibility before the first card.

contrast (model-proposed): Cancellation after play starts uses a prize split instead of refunds — Before the first card, cancellation refunds buy-ins; after play starts it provides prize allocation without refunding buy-ins or other costs. The different outcomes turn on when cancellation happens.
Cancellation after play starts uses a prize split instead of refunds
Once the first card has been dealt, cancellation does not refund buy-ins or other tournament costs. Already eliminated players receive any prizes for their finishing positions. Of the prize pool left after amounts already paid to winning positions, half is divided equally among players remaining at cancellation and half is allocated by their shares of tournament chips at the start of the canceled hand. The stated example gives $1,150 to a player with 65% of the chips when two players remain and the undistributed pool is $2,000.

In the event a tournament is canceled after the tournament has commenced: (i) players will not be refunded their tournament buy-in or any other costs attributed to the canceled tournament; (ii) player(s) who have been knocked out of the tournament prior to cancellation will receive any prizes associated with their finishing position in the tournament; and (iii) fifty percent (50%) of the canceled tournament’s prize pool minus any amounts already paid to winning positions (“Unattributed Prize Pool”) will be distributed equally between the remaining players in the tournament at the point of cancellation, and the other fifty percent (50%) of the Unattributed Prize Pool will be distributed on a percentage basis according to each player's chips (i.e., the aggregate value of the chips held by a player divided by the aggregate value of chips in the tournament) at the start of the hand when the tournament was canceled.
As an example only, in the event a tournament is canceled with only two (2) players left, and the tournament prize is to be awarded to 1st place only, one player had sixty-five percent (65%) of the aggregate value of tournament chips at the start of the hand when the tournament was canceled, and the Unattributed Prize Pool was two thousand dollars ($2,000), the player with sixty-five percent (65%) of the aggregate value of tournament chips would receive one thousand one hundred fifty dollars ($1,150).
Qualifications & exceptions
Eliminated players keep prizes for their finishing positions.
The remaining pool excludes prizes already paid; chip shares are measured at the start of the canceled hand.
