Dirty tips scam tonight.
GameTrekker tipped $19.99 with about 20 minutes left.
Phil ignored it, while speaking to chat, for about 5 minutes.
He then read it out and said that he 'guesses' he will count it as $20, but that meant Nico was still top tipper with $20.
Phil then resumed playing the game
without adding the tips to the tip counter.
This happened for a couple of minutes, then just as he said he'd finally add it to the tips goal, Nico dropped $50 to hit the hat goal, right at the 15 minutes remaining mark (assuming no OT).
Definitely something fucky going on with that bizarre handling of money.
Also worth noting this is the standard pattern once again of an early mid-sized tip, followed by a large parting tip to round out the goal in the last 10-15. This pattern has happened 3 times in the last week with (alleged) different people.
EDIT: Phil has been striking a bunch of really weird poses tonight.

He held this pose while reading out a lost of upgrades. For several seconds.
At one point he also leaned all the way over to his chat so his face was off screen and threw his arm around the back of the chair.
This pose is particularly ill-advised with this hat on.
EDIT 2:
Uh-oh.
A real Nico is in chat complaining he didn't tip.
Phil is suddenly defending the tipper, saying it just wasn't the Nico in chat, that it must be a coincidence and their name may also be Nico, and that it's all cool, don't worry.
Phil is perfectly aware of who this tipper is - he didn't verify the $50 when it came in. Their name is not 'Nico'.
He just allowed a whale to impersonate a chatter - something he
explicitly said not to do and he's playing dumb that this is some other, random Nico.
