RISC application when there are two life estates back to back

16. “O to A for life, then to B for life, then to A's heirs.”

If we are in a jurisdiction that has not abolished the RISC, then we know that the contingent remainder in A's Heirs is not valid, but my question is, who (A or B) gets the heir's remainder? Is it A becuase the CR was in A's heirs? Or is it B because they are the last estate listed before we strick out the invalid future interest in A's heirs?
