There were only three players and the number to advance has to be less than or equal to half the group size, at max. Barring ties, only one person could move to the next round in that group.

Hi all,
it seems as I don't understand well the way tournaments work. At this tournament
http://www.chess.com/tournament/thematic-matches-amp-tournaments-presents-french-defense-tarrasch-var---c03
the tournament is set as # Advance = 2, so I expected two players to advance to the next round per group.
But I've qualified 2nd in my group the second round (http://www.chess.com/tournaments/player_summary?id=121094&member=sharcashmo) and my status is Eliminated. What I'm missing?
It's just curiosity, as I know I'd be wiped out the final round :D, but I thought I was understanding all tournament rules and I'm not able to catch this one.
