Just been through the hand history of the whole tourny and now im pretty sure they were working together, before heads up they played only 2 hands against eachother which are both suspicious, heres the other hand.

button had Q8o and BB had a king with 2 of hearts
you can see that the big stack is trying to dump chips to his friend but when the running hearts come he has won the hand so has to check it down to the river to stop his mate from busting out.
Do full tilt give any compensation for these situations? ive found some1 colluding before and sent an email but just got auto reply and nothing else
