An unexpected $17,000 bonus

Last night, I made the money in the only tournament I entered. On hand 87, when I was already in the money, I had the shortest stack remaining in the tournament. I was in 16th place, on the bubble of the first money jump. When I lost the hand, I fully expected to have finished in 16th. Mirabile dictu, when I looked at the lobby, I found that somehow I'd finished in 15th, and had received an extra $17,000 for my failing efforts :-) The only explanation I could come up with was that the player who came in 16th, who'd been at a different table, must have hit the rail mere seconds before I did.
