Worked example
Antes of 40,000 · 25,000 · 15,000 · 8,000. The clock runs out and the 8,000 is out: 7,680 splits three ways, 2,560 to each ante still in; 320 goes to the pot.
Round two: the 15,000 is smallest. 14,400 splits two ways, 7,200 each. Round three: the 25,000 is out and the 40,000 is paid 24,000, then takes its own 40,000 back and the 1,920 pot: 75,680 in all.
