34 gambling god: ON (1/2)

Riggs successfully joined the table-- Seraphina told him. They are currently 7 people around the table including the dealer. He does not have any idea why did she ask him to join this specific table. Glancing at the people around him, everyone was a new face to him and

no one seems to be important or at least to him.

Regardless, he could not care less. He likes gambling and the money he was using was not from his blood and sweat, thus, whatever the result, whether he loses or win, he was just following orders.

His happy thoughts of gambling on Seraphina's behalf were abruptly stopped --realizing he might get dismissed for doing so. Did he got played out by her? He cursed himself silently for falling for her trap and blamed the casino for making him distracted. With a little hesitation in his heart, the dealer finally distributed the shuffled cards and the game started.

At the first few rounds of the game, due to his sour mood, his chips were decreasing big time, yet, he did not felt a pang of guilt nor annoyance since the money was not his and that 'cunning fox' might put his high paying job to end.

On the other hand, the person that kept winning was laughing loudly as if it was the best day of his life. He glanced at him before a new round started.

”Goodluck, young man.” he gleefully said. Riggs emotionlessly peek at his cards. Seeing him still looking down, the middle-aged man across him laughed as if he knew the round was for him again.

The dealer revealed three cards on the deck resulting to another ”fold, raise and call” from the players around the table.

Then, the dealer once again revealed another card making the man that kept winning eyes lit up. He raised the amount to 30,000$ without hesitation. Riggs go for a call followed by two more players.

The middle-aged man raised the amount one-fold once again. Studying his blank reaction, the boastful man could not discern if he's bluffing or not while the other player gulped a mouthful of saliva.

To play it safe, both players and Riggs went for a call.

The dealer revealed the last card.

The boastful man laughed hysterically as he got a straight flush while the other man on the table only had a full house and the other only got a pair. The man's gleeful laughs stopped when Riggs revealed his cards -- a royal flush.

'Does he think I'm a joke?' Riggs thought.

Riggs as if his first winning sparked his gambling-self, he smiled from ear to ear.

”young man, I underestimated you.” although the lucky player of the night lost to him, he does not sound annoyed but rather he gained his respect.

Then another round started again with Riggs as if forgotten the world and his 'Gambling-God-Riggs mode' is on.
