If ESPN started faking hands don't you think some players would protest and soon it would become public knowledge that ESPN is fabricating some of it's poker coverage?

One likely counterargument to this post is that the two stacks of blue chips were actually Phil Ivey's chips (since Phil was sitting to Reed's right). But if you look at the shot of Reed contemplating a call, you can see that Ivey's chips are quite far away from Reed's cards.

Since I read this thread before watching the episode, I was watching for this hand. And it's still on TiVo if I need to go back. The chips we see when looking at his cards are clearly Ivey's. I'm going to have to think about this one, but I think that in order to have the depth of field they do on the hole cameras, they are using some sort of fisheye lens. That can distort appearances and distances between objects.

Some photo expert want to take it from here?

ESPN did not fake Tommy Reed's laydown, he even discussed his bonehead move directly after with Phil Ivey. If ESPN started faking hands don't you think some players would protest and soon it would become public knowledge that ESPN is fabricating some of it's poker coverage?

No, thats why its called a conspiracy and if it weren't for enterprising, intuitive, extremely smart and logical people like the OP we would never find out

I talked to Tony D during a cash game at the Bike earlier this year, and he confirmed that he did lay down trip Js to Phil Hellmuth as seen on the 2003 ESPN coverage of the Main Event.
later, Greg Raymer (FossilMan)

T30,000 preflop raise, call, call.
Flop A J x (2 Diamonds) check-check-check
Turn T bet in front of Reed @T60,000 He folds his set of Tens, the QQ calls
River is a blank 67 of diamonds goes all in QQ calls and pats himself on the back.

At least this is pretty close!

Just watched it. I agree with the guys who said it's not faked, he looked too ashamed at the end.

And the little talk with Ivey, wow. You couldn't have written this.
