| What is the rule in tournaments if the person in line to post small blind is eliminated? Does play continue with just a large blind for that hand? |

| Drakkar - you are correct there is just a large blind at the next hand. This is because otherwise the large blind would miss a turn (if he was the small blind) which would be unfair on all other players. |

that is all dependent on where you are playing. Ex.
PokerStars uses a "forward moving button" rule in its tournaments. According to this rule, no player ever receives the button twice in a row; at the completion of every hand, the button is moved clockwise to the small blind. The implication of this rule is that when players are eliminated, there may be players who get a reprieve from one or both blinds. The forward moving button is common practice in online poker due to the technicalities involved in adjusting the blinds after players are eliminated. Since these are basically random occurrences, no player will receive any long-term advantage, and the rule is necessarily fair for all players. |
