So I play in a weekly poker tournament that pays you $2000 in chips if you get your aces cracked. This happens every time it happens throughout the night not just the first time.

Last night:
Player 1 goes all in for about $5000
I call with $4000
Player 3 calls with less, about $3000. (Making the numbers easier but about these amounts)
We flip AA, AA, 55.
Player 3 gets a 5 on the river to win the pot. Me and P1 chop the rest.

So the debate was were our aces cracked? They paid us both $2000 but now the new rules going forward is they were not. I thought the whole definition of cracked aces was you lose to an inferior hand? We both lost to an inferior hand. They said we won money but we really didn't. Had one of us hit a flush or something in the side pot and lost to a full house or something I get it but in this case we tied. What do you guys think?
