Did anyone get Kobayashi graded as a winner?

[milwaukee mike]

some confusion on sites that had kobayashi as a choice, since he won via satellite.

sites without kobayashi as a choice are also getting questioned if they only had "who will eat the most hot dogs" type of wording and only had chestnut or field as the choices

i had no action on this event but i'm curious as to how this is being graded out there
