WTN (the network that Betcoin is a skin of for tournaments) pays out their tournaments in an odd way.  When you make the money, you get paid that right away into your account.  Every time you ladder up, you get paid THAT amount (the difference between the previous amount you earned and the new amount you earned) right away into your account as well.  So when you bust out, you actually aren't "due" any more money because you've already been paid all of the money that you cashed for.
