Default Re: Was Hachem being unethical?

[ QUOTE ]
An unfortunate part of the situation is that Minh Ly isn't exaclty a master of the english language and couldn't have understood the full implications of what Hachem was saying. Ly is one of the best players in the world and I'm almost positive he would have folded if he could have completely understood what Hachem was saying.

The man speaks with a very thick accent, but he knows English.
I've seen him in a number of interviews, he doesn't require a translator or anything.

Moreover, despite the fact that it's not IMO relevant to this situation (in so far as I believe Minh knew what was being said), a man with his table experience can probably decipher with surprising accuracy, just by watching the players, exactly what was going on even if he didn't know what was being said.
