Default Is this 90 year old lady a fake?

Hey guys. I'm a fan of Darren Brown, but this episode seemed just a little too unbelievable. He (apparently) taught this really old lady to be an expert Sit 'N Go player going head to head with some of the UK's finest. The payout was so small it was laughable (only like 1000 pounds/$2000 USD). That's the first hint. Second hint was that apparently she was only going on tells/body language. I think the other players just softplayed her, and the dealer probablly brought in a cold deck too. On top of that the cards aren't very visable because of the poor quality upload, which could lend hints to if she was being softplayed. 90 year ol' granny lasting 90 minutes in a SNG with sharks? Come on! I bet that tourney didn't even air! Why? Fake! Simple!

Here are the YouTube links:

If they rigged the deck then surely they would have made sure she won?
