True, it looks a bit like it, but they really had a secret deal, what`s stopping them to share the money after the show is over? During a tourney it would be a concern (especially after his ridiculous collusion-attempt with his buddy during the WSOP, he should`ve gotten disqualified after the footage came out, if that would be possible), but in a cash game... Not sure if they really wouldve done this during taping of the episode, if they were colluding in some way they`d have saved it for after the show and without the cameras filming it. After all nobody would`ve really lost money in this case.

Dos, I'm not suggesting that they had an agreement to chop their profits or anything, that's too sinister and blatently illegal. What I'm saying is that perhaps they made a gentlemen's agreement to not really try to hurt each other bad or make big moves/bluffs against one another.

More or less the same thing that a lot of casual NL players going to a casino together who are friends will do with one another, especially HU. You know, just check a lot of stuff down, play very straightforward and pretty much soft-play one another. But if a big hand goes down (monster over monster) its not like 1 guy owes the other money or anything.
