Chapter 73: All-In (5)

Liu Dong wasn't lying. In fact, when the first card was dealt, he already knew the value and suit of the first ten cards. No matter how he bet, he wouldn't lose. Actually, in the last round, he intended to go all-in, but seeing Han Lei hesitate and even show some signs of backing down, he decisively placed a two million bet. With a set of three tens, Han Lei also chose to call.

"It looks like I won the first round!" Liu Dong said.

Seeing the calm smile on Liu Dong's face, Han Lei's expression changed. He snorted heavily and said, "Don't get too cocky, this is just the first round!"

"That's perfect, I'm just starting to get interested!" Liu Dong laughed.

At this moment, Duan Zhiheng had already used a long ruler to push the chips Liu Dong had bet, along with Han Lei's 4.6 million, in front of Liu Dong. Soon, a dealer neatly arranged the scattered chips.

The new round quickly began.

Just like the previous round, Liu Dong didn't look at his first card. With the first round as a foundation, no one said anything.

Han Lei's second card, the King of Spades, was clearly larger than Liu Dong's Six of Diamonds.

"Mr. Han, it's your turn to speak!" Duan Zhiheng said.

"I bet 200,000!"

"I call!" Liu Dong also threw out 200,000 chips.

As Han Lei requested another card, the third card was quickly dealt to both of them by Duan Zhiheng. However, compared to Liu Dong's Jack of Spades, Han Lei's card was much better.

The King of Diamonds, combined with his previous King of Spades, made a pair. Regardless of the other cards, Han Lei's hand was already much better than Liu Dong's, so he couldn't help but show an excited smile.

"600,000!"

Seeing everyone's attention focus on him again, Liu Dong couldn't help but smile faintly. He then picked up his cards and, facing Han Lei's expectant gaze, threw them out and said slowly, "Sorry, I fold!"

"You?" Hearing this, a look of surprise and anger flashed across Han Lei's face. He had planned to take advantage of his good hand to bet more, win back the money he had lost to Liu Dong, and further win today's game. He didn't expect Liu Dong to fold voluntarily.

To be honest, although Han Lei wasn't a first-time gambler like Liu Dong, his gambling skills were only slightly better than a beginner. Usually, at the table, everyone would give way to him because of his status as the heir to the Han Group, so he mostly won. This had made him arrogant and overconfident. He always thought his gambling skills were far superior to others, but in reality, they were only slightly better than a beginner's.

If it were some experienced players, they would be even more cautious when they had a good hand, and they wouldn't bet heavily right away, as it could easily scare off their opponents. In All-In, unlike other gambling games, players can choose not to follow.

Since Liu Dong chose to fold, it meant that the 200,000 chips he had bet became Han Lei's prize. This gave him some comfort, even though 200,000 was a small amount, it was still the first money he had won from Liu Dong.

The time passed as the two continued their intense game. In the next twelve rounds, Liu Dong mostly lost, either by folding or having a worse hand than Han Lei. In the end, not only did he lose the 4.6 million chips he had won from Han Lei, but he also lost half of his original 10 million chips.

"Mr. Han's luck is really good today, winning twelve rounds in a row!"

"I think that guy doesn't even know how to play All-In. He's definitely going to lose this game!"

"Actually, I admire him. He's lost so much money, but he's still calm and composed. Does he still have confidence that he can win?"

"Let's see. The game isn't over yet. Maybe he can turn it around!"

Hearing the comments around him and seeing the pile of chips in front of him, Han Lei couldn't help but show an excited smile. "What about it? Are you thinking of folding again this round?"

Hearing this, Liu Dong looked at him with an unchanged expression and pointed to his Ace of Spades, smiling and said, "I finally got a good card, so I want to play it well." He paused, then picked up 500,000 chips from his table and threw them out.

"500,000, I wonder if Mr. Han is willing to follow?"

"Hehe, of course. My King of Hearts isn't small, so I'll follow! I also bet 500,000!"

Seeing Han Lei's chips, Duan Zhiheng dealt the third card to both of them. Liu Dong got a King of Spades, and Han Lei got an Ace of Hearts. This time, the two cards were exactly the opposite of the previous ones.

Without considering the hole cards, and with the two face-up cards being the same, according to the All-In rules, the suit would determine the winner. Following the order of Spades > Hearts > Clubs > Diamonds, Liu Dong's card was still the highest, so it was his turn to speak.

"1,000,000!"

"I follow!"

The fourth card was particularly crucial because it could determine the strength of the hand. In the previous seven or eight rounds, Liu Dong had folded when the fourth card was about to be dealt.

"Haha, this time it's my turn to speak!" Han Lei laughed, holding his Ace of Diamonds.

"Of course!" Liu Dong said indifferently. His card was just a Ten of Spades.

"Alright, I bet 2,000,000!" Han Lei could have bet more, but he was afraid Liu Dong would fold again like before, so he only bet 2,000,000. He was still nervous, looking at Liu Dong with a probing gaze.

"I follow!" Liu Dong laughed.

"Good, you have some courage! Dealer, deal the cards quickly!" Han Lei said impatiently.

Duan Zhiheng didn't waste any time. To him, a game with only 20 million was nothing. If it weren't for the high salary offered by the Black Tiger Gang, he wouldn't have come to this illegal gambling den. Of course, there were other reasons that he wouldn't share with outsiders.

The fifth card was dealt. Liu Dong got a Jack of Spades, and Han Lei got a King of Clubs. If we only consider the face-up cards, Han Lei had two Aces and two Kings, which was the best possible two pairs in All-In. Compared to Liu Dong's four cards of the same suit, which were just a high card, Han Lei's hand was much better!

"It looks like it's my turn to speak!" Han Lei said smugly.

"Of course!" Liu Dong's expression remained calm.

However, seeing Liu Dong's calm demeanor, Han Lei felt particularly uncomfortable. After all, he was the one winning. He said sarcastically, "I want to bet 2,000,000, but it seems you don't have that many chips left?"

Indeed, Liu Dong's remaining 5 million had already been bet 3.5 million, leaving him with only about 1.5 million.

Hearing this, Liu Dong smiled, "Since that's the case, why don't we go all-in and decide the game in one round? What do you think?"

Hearing his words, Han Lei was taken aback. He looked at Liu Dong, unable to understand where Liu Dong's confidence came from, given that he hadn't even looked at his hole cards.

"What, all-in? Unless he gets a Spade Q to form a straight flush, he will lose this game completely!"

"Straight flush? Don't be ridiculous. The odds of that are less than one in a thousand. Do you think he can get a straight flush without even knowing his hole cards?"
