Your math is way off, but I understand that you were too busy trolling to come up with an accurate assessment.
There were less than 900 players on Day 1 A, so even if you had only one shady partner and there was no possibility that you could be moved to the same table as him after the start, the odds would be roughly five times more likely than your 1/500.
If two people wanted to maximize their chance of starting on the same table, they both would register late in the day. Due to Harrah's system of assigning seats to late-comers, they would probably have a 1/5 to 1/20 chance of being together.
Unfortunately, this type of scam to defraud stakers does go on. You don't necessarily need set accomplices. You just need to get relatively deep and then make an offer to a table-mate.
