Lost in Translation

Giles Smadia, one of the top chip leaders so far, recently had a little controversy on his table. Smadia is foreign and his English can be misunderstood at times. In one hand, the dealer though that Smadia said "call" when indeed he did not say it. The floor was called over and the situation was cleared up.

With so many playes coming from all over the world for the World Series of Poker, this kind of issue can be a common occurrence. If there's one thing that doesn't need any translation, it's the chips and the cards.
