Attached is how the images looked as close as I could get to the mirror. A dead heat was probably the right call because you can't get an image on the mirror, and even if you could you don't know if you have the angle exactly correct. The video camera angle likely doesn't match the true angle of the photo finish line, causing some distortion.
That said, I think if you had the 1 in the 3rd spot, you got the short end of the stick having to share money with those that had the 8. Watching live and seeing those stills I'm about 99% certain the 1 was third.
