Cheating?

There was no bribery involved at all. Players are allowed to divide the prize (and nothing else) when no other players can be affected, like in the finals.

In the finals that seems rather irrelevant. But yeah, he offered money in exchange for the concession.

But if you consider that the prize for the championship is the money prize + the champion title and that they came up with a value for the championship title. Then they simply split the whole thing evenly.

[Jeff Kruchkow]

It could be that instead of giving him 100 and then splitting, they did an uneven split like 1400 and 1200 instead of 1300 and 1300.
