It is true that it was Vesper who may have told Le Chiffre or someone close to him that Bond knew about his tell. Right?

Because I just remembered that Le Chiffre looked slightly surprised that Bond had managed to buy back into the game for five million. When you think about it, Le Chiffre had no reason to be surprised, since one of the tournament's stipulations was if a player's first 10 million is wiped out, he or she can buy back into the game for another 5 million. So why did Le Chiffre looked slightly suprised that Bond had managed to buy back into the game after being wiped out? I think that it's obvious that he had expected Vesper to refuse to give Bond the extra 5 million.

I believe so too, other's disagree (and this is an ongoing debate) but I believe it was Vesper, not Mathis, who was helping Le Chiffre out all along.

I agree too, and hopefully BOND 22 will clear up the Mathis story.
