Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Ace of Spades (2/2)
The first round dealt two cards.
One hole card, one up card.
Lin Chuan’s up card was a Spade K.
Lin Chuan casually glanced at his hole card, and the Five of Diamonds appeared on the live stream.
His card rank was the highest.
“All-in.”
Lin Chuan pushed all his remaining chips out, then leaned back with his hands on the edge of the table, smiling, his eyes serene.
The other five players at the table were stunned.
The audience in the live room was a bit stunned too.
[Hole card Five of Diamonds, how can he dare to go all-in?]
[Is this the Zhou Xingxing style? Going all-in at the start!]
[A tribute to Brother Xin, I cast my vote for him!]
[Indeed, going all-in truly is a form of wisdom, hahaha!]
[This is getting interesting, Scarred Man at seat 7, you have a pair of Qs, quickly go all-in with him!]
[The other players’ cards aren’t bad either, there’s even one with a pair of 8s.]
Sure enough.
The Scarred Man at seat 7 followed.
“All-in.”
The few others, with a frown, decided to follow through directly as well: “All-in.”
Table 2, everyone goes all-in!
It suddenly got interesting.
After going all-in.
The police officer dealt the remaining three cards promptly.
The current situation.
Three players’ hands didn’t form anything, instantly ousted.
Player 10, only had a pair of 8s.
Scarred Man at seat 7 had one pair of Qs, one pair of 4s, with a Q as the hole card.
And Lin Chuan at seat 9 had a Spade flush with 10, J, Q, K, but his hole card was a 5.
The Scarred Man was confident of victory, looking at Lin Chuan, “Brother at seat 9, is your hole card the Spade 9 or the Ace of Spades?”
In an all-in, the chance of getting a flush is negligible.
Unless you cheat.
But the Scarred Man had been watching Lin Chuan the entire time. Lin Chuan, in a short-sleeved T-shirt, hands resting on the table, had made no suspicious moves.
So there was no possibility of cheating.
The audience in the live room, aware that Lin Chuan’s hole card was the Five of Diamonds, had already written him off.
Most people watching table 2 had cast their first round of votes for the Scarred Man at seat 7.
The Scarred Man’s popularity suddenly topped that of table 2.
“Reveal the cards.”
The Scarred Man confidently revealed his hole card Q.
Three Qs, with a pair on the side.
[The Scarred Man’s gambling skills are obviously much better than those of the handsome guy at seat 9.]
[The handsome guy at seat 9 acted too hastily, going all-in at the start.]
[I judged right from the start, seat 9 doesn’t have the look of a Gambling King.]
[Gamblers who go all-in at the start usually want to gain a psychological edge, to overwhelm the opponent with sheer bravado, but seat 9 has met his match.]
Off-camera.
Shen Qianqian was continuously monitoring the situation at table 2.
She furrowed her brows, muttering, “With a hole card of the Five of Diamonds, how can you compete for the title of Gambling King, how can you reveal the trickery of cheating techniques, how can you promote your book?”
At the gambling table.
Lin Chuan looked at the Scarred Man’s three-of-a-kind with a pair, and smiled, “Indeed, everyone here is talented, the skills are not bad.”
The Scarred Man chuckled and said, “Young brother, we’re both castaways here, you’re also not bad, just slightly less skilled than me.”
“Slightly less skilled?” Lin Chuan smiled.
Then, unhurriedly, he reached for his hole card and slowly flipped it over.
Ace of Spades!
