As to the original question, split 3rd between them unless they agree to a coinflip or something.

Split is correct.

Or you could let it ride................

I say it is split pot.

But they should both be scrutinized for their play on the bubble.

Thanks for all the responses.

Some additional details which I left out of the OP...

- 3 places pay. 4th gets nothing.
- 2 players left after the 2 bust out so I can't really touch the 2nd place money.
- questionable bubble play not up for scrutiny/criticism (even though it should be).

Correct, at least according to Robert’s Rules. Under section 15. TOURNAMENTS:

#35.... Players eliminated on the same deal who start their final hand with an equal amount of chips receive equal prize money, with the best hand on that deal receiving any non-divisible award.

Not sure about TDA, but I'll bet it says (pretty much) the same thing

read: I was one of the all-ins, so go easy on me...I thought a 7-2 offsuit was good in position! (j/k)

2 bust outs chop 3rd place money, IMO.
