The player who submitted the highest bid will buy the field. If multiple players made the same bid, the winner is chosen randomly.
The winner pays exactly the amount he has bid, other players don't pay anything.
The auctions are resolved in the order of the field numbers. If you don't have enough money left for your other bids after buying a field, your bids are lowered to you current amount of money.
