Language Barriers on Table 9

"I want to get on this table!" said Van Marcus, popping out of his seat to sweat a big hand at Meenelai Bold's and Lee Jin's table. Bold check-called a bet of 12,500 on a flop of {10-Spades} {4-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}. When the turn fell {8-Spades} he checked again, prompting Jin to move all in for roughly 50,000 chips.

Bold tanked for several minutes. In the middle of his tank, he started typing on his phone, drawing indignant protests from tablemate Michael Marvanek. A floor was summoned to the table to explain that such behavior was not allowed. One of the other Mongolians also came to the table and started speaking in Mongolian with Bold. This drew further protests from Marvanek.

"There's been too many warnings on this table already," Marvanek complained. "Just start giving them penalties."

Meanwhile, Jin called the clock on Bold. The floor supervisor announced thirty seconds, ten seconds and counted down from three. Bold seemed not to understand what was going on and was very surprised when the dealer killed his hand. He tried to drag his cards back out of the muck but the floor told him his hand was dead. Annoyed, he took his cards and flung them over, exposing pocket queens.
