Has the hand played between Scotty Nguyen vs Chuc Hoang been discussed as far as hands being faked by ESPN?

As you may recall during the 2003 WSOP ME coverage, apparently Hoang had KK and Scotty had AK, and the board came Kxx, and Hoang moved in. Scotty agonized for about 5 minutes and finally laid it down.

However, this was at a non-tv table (no hole card cams) and the cards were never shown down. How would they have known what they had? Do the producers go over and ask the players? That really doesn't seem realistic.

I noticed something like this with chip stacks for one of the WPT events. I know stacks fluctuate but it was crazy how someone would have the short stack but they would show them as the chip leader (when they showed the leader board) and then a few hands later they really were the chip leader. Very bad editing!

Many believe the producers just asked the players what they had.

That can obviously lead to trouble, asking poker players what hands they had.
