Only English in France
Right now at the final table, there's a fairly comical situation occurring between the players, the dealer and the floor staff. Giovanni Rosadoni only speaks French, with a little bit of English here and there. Whenever Dan O'Brien or John Monnette say something, Rosadoni responds in French. Once in awhile, he'll utter a very short sentence in English, but it's rare.
O'Brien is often the one trying to bridge the language gap between he and Rosadoni, but it's just not working. Sometimes, there is a bilingual dealer in the box to translate, but during this rotation, the dealer also doesn't understand or speak French, so he can't translate.
"Could you imagine being at Commerce in a three-handed game where everyone else speaks Spanish and you don't?" asked O'Brien to Monnette.
"It's happened to me before, but with Vietnamese," responded Monnette with a laugh.
"Yeah, but I'm talking about the players, the floor and the dealer. No one can help you," O'Brien went on as the two laughed about it. Even the dealer and the floor staff were laughing because the situation is simply a very rare, comical one to occur.
O'Brien added that he feels a little bad about it as the English speakers are the one's intruding, so to speak, on Rosadoni's country. Still, everyone is getting a light laugh of the situation and it continues on.
