Chapter 90: Gambling (1/2)
Tevez was looking a bit unnatural. He completely didn’t expect Xu Cheng to dare to play like this! Now, he really regretted not doubling his bet to force a reveal on his card!
How dare he play him like this!
In the third round, Xu Cheng’s hand was still trash. He took a look around, and he could only beat Tim’s but not Tevez or Lin Guiren’s hand, so he couldn’t really try and bluff. After all, this trick wouldn’t work if the opponent actually had a good hand and dared to raise. If bluffing gets exposed, then Xu Cheng would also end up losing a lot of money.
In the third round, Xu Cheng directly folded, and Tevez laughed. “I thought you were going to keep on bluffing.
“It’s not like I don’t have a brain. Even if I think my opponents are idiots, I know they won’t fall for it twice, am I right?” Xu Cheng laughed. Such an indirect insult.
Tevez snorted and folded as well, and Tim got the round.
When the fourth round was dealt, Xu Cheng didn’t even look at his hand and said to Tevez, “How about let’s play something more exciting this round?”
The other three players at the table all looked at him curiously, and Xu Cheng smiled and said, “Let’s not look at our hand and place our bets, how’s that? If someone can’t hold it anymore, he has to double his bet to check his card, and then he has to double the amount each time he raises.”
Lin Guiren also felt that this might be more entertaining so he agreed, and only Tim and Tevez exchanged a look. Seeing them hesitating, Xu Cheng chipped in, “I think this Mister that goes by the name Tim must not like this very much, right? It would make it hard for you since you had been counting cards, right?”
Tim awkwardly coughed and said, “I’m fine with your suggestion.”
Xu Cheng smiled, and then he looked towards Tevez. “How about you?”
“I will gladly join.”
So, without looking at their hand, Lin Guiren first raised 50 thousand yuan.
Xu Cheng directly threw in 500 thousand yuan, and it slightly shocked Lin Chuxue, who was by his side.
Seeing Xu Cheng directly raise 500 thousand yuan, Tevez paused for a moment. Then, he looked at him in disdain and said, “Who are you trying to bluff? No one has seen their hand, and you think just throwing in 500 thousand yuan will scare us off? I’ll raise too, 500 thousand!”
Tim also directly threw in 500 thousand yuan.
Lin Guiren was also a bit shocked to see his son-in-law this bold and resolute now, quite unlike his character in the past. He was a bit dumbfounded, but he also raised 500 thousand yuan as he patted Xu Cheng on the shoulder and said, “It’s good for young people to be bold and resolute, but don’t take unnecessary risks.”
Xu Cheng smiled, and then he threw in 1 million yuan in chips, his face not showing a hint of nervousness, as if he wasn’t taking a risk at all, but rather that he could see all the cards.
Tim also raised a million.
Tevez wasn’t in a rush to follow. He first looked at Xu Cheng and said, “If you play like this, then you will soon run out of money.”
“You don’t have to worry if I have the money to keep on playing or not. If I run out, I will just go and take out more. Are you raising or folding?” Xu Cheng smiled and asked.
Tevez muttered in his heart, Very well, I was just worried that you would not walk into my trap. But, if you want to play big, then I will accompany you. Just don’t lose to the point where you have to sell your wife to pay me back the debt.
“Of course, I’m a shareholder here, obviously I wouldn’t want to discourage our guests from betting big, right? Since you really want to play like this, then sure. One million, I raise as well! Blind,” Tevez said.
Lin Guiren laughed, “Purely on luck? I raise as well!”
Then, playing completely blind, Xu Cheng took out the remaining 3 million and went all in. “3 million yuan, still going blind.”
Then, he immediately looked at Lin Chuxue who was by his side. He handed her his card and said, “There should be 20 million left in the card, can you withdraw and exchange it into chips for me?”
Lin Chuxue took the card, nodded, and then got up, following the staff to go and get more chips.
“Oh, are we playing seriously now?” Tevez revealed his white teeth and said, “Very well, I will accompany you.”
Then, he told the staff to get him 10 million yuan in chips using his title as a board member. In fact, he wasn’t feeling too confident. Although his family sent him to run this casino, he wasn’t given too much cash. For the majority of the time, he was living a lavish life with the bonuses he was paid by the casino. Most of the money he earned at the casino still had to go back to his family, so he couldn’t advance too much.
