Given the level of cheating that occurs in poker, I would be shocked if this sort of stuff is not going on already.

What level of cheating? Marked cards and stolen chips are on a totally different level than a backer-sponsored system designed to advance certain players in the tournament. Again, this would be the sort of cheating that would be so hard to conceal, that, contrary to you, I would be shocked if it was going on. I don't know all the various cliques in poker, but I still don't accept the premise.
