Still Entitled for the Main Pot?

Hi,
I am bothered now because of a recent tournament where in I went all in. In that tournament, there were two other players aside from me and all were matched.
In a certain round, a player bet to get a side pot. Well, player 3 at some point didn’t want to go in, however, he was thinking of staying in for my “all in”.
What do you think, in case player 3 went out, will he still be entitled for the main pot?
Thank you.

Denzel,
A side pot is just a continuation of the original hand. If an opponent bets out and player 3 folds, he forfeits his rights to the original pot.
