Whether he actually saw the card is less clear, but certainly the timing of the two events gives that impression.
So given that, how are you so sure that it's "highly unlikely?"

He's not giving himself a freeroll, that's your opinion. Had he missed the first board I'm sure he would have stuck to "Once, once, once".
You have the right to change your mind about running it twice, the other party doesnt have to agree, it's a gentleman's agreement.
The problem with this hand is Harry's timing. Of course he is allowed to change his mind about running it twice and he doesn't need Chris to agree if he wants to go back to running it once. But when should he be allowed to change his mind? He is clearly right on the border.
For everyone saying that Harry definitely saw the turn card first, you are saying he is a liar? And that everyone at the table are all lying too? Just to keep a bad player in action at the game? Maybe I'm naive, but I feel sorry for the people who see things that way.
