Poker interruptus

I've used this title several times before. Last night, I experienced poker interruptus once again. It's never fun. This time, instead of being due to a power outage, it was due to my internet connection going down. This happened at a most inopportune time - when there were just 13 players, including me, left in a tournament which paid 12 places. I think I was in seventh place when the plug got pulled. Mirabile dictu, even though I was automatically sat out, I finished in seventh, for a healthy chunk of change. What this means is that the remaining players kept fighting each other, instead of silently colluding to share my dead chips amongst themselves. When players fight, knockouts happen much more frequently than they otherwise would. Those knockouts gave me my nice payday :-)
