For individual lots that ended earlier or at the same time, those guys almost certainly got a message THEY had won the lot. That's just the software doing its thing. It wasn't doing any comparing, because the software did not link all the lots together. Powell did not win the set, because some of the individual lots were still open and the sum ended hgher. The unfairness is Powell was unable to continue bidding. But that doesn't make him the winner.
Anyhow, it's all moot now.
