Who do You Believe, Phil Hellmuth or ESPN?

I've found 2 instances so far of hand splicing for wsop04

-Mattias Andersson's black aces hit a flush on turn to knock out some other guy who made a queen-high flush on flop. The footage of the closeup of Andersson before he gets his cards is taken from another hand.

-(I think) The hand where Annie Duke makes her two-pair "Nuts", forcing Seidel to fold his hand when it's down to three at the PLO/8 final table taped simultaneously with the women's limit holdem. When the camera is over Duke's shoulder the board shows mostly rags, but when the camera goes back over Seidel's shoulder, the board shows some paint.

Not sure about #2

We should ask Arieh if he really folded 2-pair on the river, since we know Luske had aces.

(And I trust Hellmuth over ESPN at this point)

I would be willing to believe that the hand is real as we later saw Arieh for a K high flush when he sniffed a boat (at least I think we saw his cards on that one). On this one he was playing lower two pair against someone who could play A-x so it doesn't seem that odd.
I've seen the other two a I would agree, something "just ain't right".
