187: A high-stakes gamble, who will emerge victorious?
They entered the VIP private room.
There were 5 people in total.
Everyone unanimously suggested playing cards.
Stud poker.
Chen Yang wasn't very good at it, but he didn't object.
Sun Yun was very excited.
Clearly, this was her forte.
In the first few rounds,
Chen Yang folded every time, carefully observing the performance of each player.
From the 4th round, Chen Yang started to bet small amounts.
Later, he still actively folded.
By the 8th round, he had already lost 500,000 US dollars.
By the 11th round, he had lost a total of 1,000,000 US dollars.
The other players
looked at Chen Yang with amusement.
Chen Yang, this big spender, didn't believe in bad luck, however.
He insisted on calling, and even occasionally raising.
He lost even faster.
Sun Yun looked at him, wanting to remind him, but held back.
At the card table,
talking too much would definitely offend people.
Fortunately,
Sun Yun's skill and luck had always been very good.
She won quite a bit.
Of course,
the luckiest person was a man with Gold-Rimmed Glasses.
He was about thirty years old.
His four eyes showed a shrewdness.
He won even more than Sun Yun.
In the next few rounds,
Chen Yang occasionally raised, and surprisingly had good luck, encountering big hands a few times.
Unconsciously,
under the good fortune of the Gold-Rimmed Glasses and Sun Yun,
he actually turned the tide.
He went from being a loser to a winner in one fell swoop.
Sun Yun was a little surprised.
The other players, however, didn't believe in bad luck.
This kid just got lucky.
If they didn't win all his chips today, these people were all useless!
But Chen Yang sneered inwardly.
With his Golden Eyes,
how could he lose at cards?
Losing at first was just to show weakness and mislead his opponents.
Now that the foreplay was enough,
it was time to get serious, revealing his sharp fangs.
In the next few rounds,
Chen Yang's chances of raising became higher and higher.
Some people didn't believe in bad luck.
They were directly defeated.
Of course,
Chen Yang wouldn't always win.
He occasionally had to "make a mistake" to let someone take advantage once.
This made these people even more certain
that Chen Yang was just incredibly lucky.
Going back and forth like this, with constant pushing and pulling,
Chen Yang's winnings had reached 8,000,000 US dollars.
Sun Yun won a small amount of 3,000,000.
The Gold-Rimmed Glasses won the most, up to 25,000,000.
The other two players lost a total of 31,000,000.
Fortunately,
these two were both wealthy and experienced gamblers.
This amount of money was still within their tolerance.
The following rounds entered a heated phase.
Everyone's calls and raises
became larger and larger.
They all wanted to win back all the money they had just lost.
Unfortunately,
the more you wanted to win money, the more you lost.
In less than half an hour,
the Gold-Rimmed Glasses' winnings reached 78,000,000.
Sun Yun won a small amount of 12,000,000.
Chen Yang became a dark horse.
His winnings actually reached 75,000,000.
Only the other two players lost miserably.
The chips in front of them were less than half.
Both of them had lost their minds.
Fortunately,
in this round, they drew a big hand.
One had a full house, and the other had a flush.
Both were quite strong hands.
The two of them didn't hesitate, directly pushing all their chips forward.
"All in!"
"All in!"
Since they were going to lose anyway, they might as well take a gamble.
If they lost, it would be over.
If they won... then they would completely recover their losses and make a huge profit!
Seeing their excited expressions,
Sun Yun was a bit unsure.
Her hand was also very strong.
Four 8s and a 10, which was a four of a kind.
In reality, her hand was stronger than those two guys' hands.
What she hesitated about was
she was a winner, having won 12,000,000, so was it necessary to go all in directly?
If she won, everyone would be happy, of course.
But what if she lost?
Not only would the 12,000,000 she won be lost again,
even her principal would be eaten up.
After much thought, she still pushed all her chips forward.
"All in!"
Fortune favors the bold, and the timid starve.
She was also an experienced gambler, and she had that much courage.
Seeing all three go all in,
the middle of the gambling table was full of chips.
The Gold-Rimmed Glasses' eye twitched.
The muscles on his face couldn't help but jump.
He was too excited!
Only he knew that his hand was the strongest.
A straight flush!
In stud poker, the strongest hand is a straight flush.
His luck today was really too good!
The Gold-Rimmed Glasses pushed up his glasses.
He feigned surprise and said:
"Everyone, you're all playing so big?"
Everyone looked at him.
They both hoped he would call and worried he would call.
Their hearts were conflicted.
Sun Yun asked him,
"Are you in or not?"
The Gold-Rimmed Glasses looked troubled.
"My hand isn't that strong, but since you're all in, and I've won so much, how can I not call?"
After saying that,
he waved his hand.
He pushed all the tall stacks of chips in front of him into the pot.
"All in!"
Seeing his pained expression,
the first two players were overjoyed.
This time, they would definitely make a comeback.
And make a huge profit!
Finally, only Chen Yang remained.
Chen Yang was a novice.
His skill had always been criticized by everyone.
Yet, a large pile of chips was stacked in front of him.
He was clearly a fool with money.
Everyone hoped that he would also go all in.
To provide more chips for the final winner.
To be a money-giving child for once.
As for whether he could win?
That was not even in anyone's consideration.
Firstly,
the first two players went all in first.
They definitely had big hands.
And Sun Yun was an experienced gambler, skillful and lucky.
If she didn't have an absolutely big hand, how could she go all in?
The Gold-Rimmed Glasses was even more obvious.
He was a perennial winner.
So far, he had won the most.
Whether it was experience, skill, or luck,
he was the best among the 5 people.
Don't let his pained expression fool you.
No one believed that if he didn't have a good hand, how would he dare to go all in?
Only Chen Yang was left.
He was a careless, big sucker!
Although he also won money, most of it was pure guesswork.
Relying on beginner's luck.
Not a single person believed that he had even the slightest chance.
Skill had nothing to do with him.
"I'm all in too!"
Chen Yang casually swept all the chips in front of him into the pot.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
The fool fell into the trap!
This round was a huge gamble!
With the large number of chips provided by Chen Yang,
a total of 500,000,000 in chips gathered on the gambling table.
Whoever won this round
would immediately possess 500,000,000 US dollars.
Excluding the casino's cut, it would be at least 350,000,000 dragon coins.
Everyone's eyes widened.
They nervously watched this decisive moment.
The cards were about to be revealed.
The first two players were restless.
At this moment, they finally realized something was wrong.
They had thought
they had big hands and could go all in.
They didn't expect that the next few people were even more ruthless.
Without a trump card, who would dare to go all in?
This round was not stable!
They couldn't wait, and one after another, they revealed their hole cards.
One was a diamond flush.
One was a full house, three 10s and two 9s.
Both were considered big hands.
However,
seeing these hands,
the remaining people all breathed a sigh of relief.
The third to reveal her cards was Sun Yun.
Four 8s, one 10.
A four of a kind.
The first two players' faces instantly turned ashen.
It was over!
They had lost completely!
Sun Yun didn't have time to enjoy the joy of victory.
Instead, she nervously looked at the Gold-Rimmed Glasses.
The Gold-Rimmed Glasses smiled slightly, not making her wait long.
He flipped his hand.
Directly revealing his hole card.
Wow!
A spade straight flush, with the highest card being a King.
Such a hand was infinitely close to the strongest possible hand.
He was 99.99% sure to win.
According to the rules of stud poker,
a flush is greater than a straight, a full house is greater than a flush, and a four of a kind is greater than a full house.
The strongest is a straight flush.
And in a straight flush,
the highest point value is an Ace, followed by a King.
When point values are the same, spades are the strongest suit.
Therefore,
the Gold-Rimmed Glasses' hand was truly very strong!
A straight flush, King high, and it was spades.
With such a hand, who still had hope?
The first two players, including Sun Yun, were all stunned.
No one had expected
the Gold-Rimmed Glasses' luck to be so good!
To get such a big hand!
If he didn't win, who would?
The Gold-Rimmed Glasses was triumphant, his eyes already fixed on the chips on the gambling table.
He was silently counting.
How many chips was this, and how many US dollars could it be converted into?
He subconsciously
wanted to reach out and embrace the chips.
"Wait!"
Chen Yang suddenly spoke, stopping him.
"Buddy, I haven't revealed my cards yet, what's your hurry?"
