1st place guy only needed to wager $7601 to cover 2nd place. As for 3rd place, can't really blame her as she should've had no chance if 1st and 2nd wagered rationally, but I often see people in that position bet $0 just in case. If the two players don't bet rationally, it's more likely that they'll bet everything or all but $1, not all but $1700, so doubling the $1600 doesn't really have much value.
