i was there, last hand definately completely made up. I believe the cardplayer's reasoning is completely accurate. They can't have a non winner for a POY event so whoever was ahead when the chop comes (whoever gets the bracelet in the chop terms) gets the win and the POY points, so they have to make up a hand to get him the win.

Why can't they? The POY is a marketing program. But their reporting, and the integrity of it, is part of what makes them believe they are the "Poker Authority." They should simply report, a deal was made, game over. Anyone who follows updates will understand how and why that happens. But to make up hands so that it somehow doesn't tarnish POY just does not look good for them.
