new to poker & having difficulty understanding some things

zadoc

finding it tough so far, think i'm getting bad beats - maybe i'm making bad decisions!

played in BH & confused, can some one explain please?

3 players in pot

smallest chip stack goes all in

largest chip stack calls

middle chip stack goes all in ( me )

middle chip stack wins pot -  ( 2 pr ) 

smallest chip stack goes out

largest chip stack gets head prize ( 1 pr )

how does that work?

From what I can see you had the smallest chipstack 1520 the other guy had 1725 and as you did not have enough to knock out BUILT4SIN the other player took the bounty.

you have less chips than the other stack so you dont get the prize
