Hate to correct, but this is incorrect (in most TDA/WSOP/PokerStars tournaments). If its a final table and 2 players are eliminated at the same time, the one with less chips ends up in a lower position whether its 6th and 5th or 3rd and 2nd respectively.
You are thinking of a situation, where it is hand-for-hand on an actual bubble or final table bubble. In that case if two players at different tables get eliminated simultaneously they split the payouts.
