"English only please," said the dealer to players over on Table 11. That's the case here at EPT Kyiv. As was mentioned in the subsequent discussion, some EPT events allow for other languages to be spoken. But here in Kyiv it is supposed to be English only when hands are in play.

Soon after, Russian Sergei Pevzner -- one of those whom the dealer was addressing -- raised from middle position, and it folded around to Miami John Cernuto in the big blind. Cernuto flashed his hand to Pevzner -- a couple of baby cards -- before folding.

"Good?" asked Cernuto. "No," said Pevzner with a smile. "He knows English now," laughed Cernuto. "This guy knows every language," chimed in another player, referring to Pezner. "A little bit of English, a little Japanese, African languages... he's legend!"

As far as the language of chips goes, Cernuto has 115,000 now with which to communicate, while Pezner has 72,000.
