Did Michael "Gags30" Gagliano and Brian Sherrier pull shenanigans to bank $8500 overlay on $10k guaranteed on Pokerstars New Jersey?

"LuckySpewy1" (not to be confused with Luckychewy) noticed the above bizarre "$500 High Roller, $10k Guaranteed" tournament on Pokerstars New Jersey.
The tournament completed in 10 minutes, with only 3 players, and the $10k guaranteed pool paid out despite just $1500 in buyins, for a spectacular overaly.
How did they manage that?
It was a perfect storm. Once the tournament gets to 3 players, it's official. If it gets to heads up, there is no more registration, and the third person can't rebuy.
Additionally, LuckySpewy claims that Gags backs the other two payers, making this look very suspicious. How was this over within 10 minutes, if there was honest play?

Gags claimed that he wouldn't risk his livelihood from that site just to score four figures:

He seems to be implying that he did a heads-up chop to "save time", and that there was nothing shady.
A bit hard for me to swallow, but I would have to see the hand histories to draw further conclusions.
