Chapter 78: All-In (6)

As Han Lei asked for a card, the two players soon received their third cards from Duan Zhiheng. However, compared to Liu Dong's single Jack of Spades, Han Lei's card was much better.

A King of Diamonds, and if combined with his previous King of Spades, it made a pair. Without mentioning anything else, Han Lei's hand was now much better than Liu Dong's, so he couldn't help but show an excited smile.

"Six hundred thousand!"

Seeing everyone's attention focus on him again, Liu Dong couldn't help but smile faintly. Then he reached out to pick up his card from the table and, facing Han Lei's expectant gaze, threw it away, saying slowly, "Sorry, I fold!"

"You?" Upon hearing this, a look of surprise and anger flashed across Han Lei's face. He had originally 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 give up voluntarily.

To be honest, although Han Lei wasn't a first-time visitor to the casino like Liu Dong, his gambling skills were only slightly better than a novice. Usually, at the gambling table, everyone would give way to him because of his status as the heir to the Han Group, so he mostly won more than he lost. This had fostered his arrogant and overconfident habits at the table, always thinking his gambling skills were far superior to others, when in fact they were only slightly better than a novice.

If it were some experienced players, they would be even less likely to call when they had a good hand, and they wouldn't bet heavily right away, as it could easily scare the opponent away. Unlike other gambling methods, in Texas Hold'em, players can choose not to follow.

Since Liu Dong chose not to follow, it meant that this round was over, and the 300,000 chips he had bet would become Han Lei's prize. This gave him some comfort, even though 300,000 was a small amount, it was the first money he had won back from Liu Dong.

The time passed bit by bit as the two engaged in intense gambling. In the next twelve rounds, Liu Dong mostly lost, either by not following or by having a worse hand than Han Lei. In the end, not only did he lose back the 4.7 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 Texas Hold'em; he's bound to lose this game!"

"Actually, I admire this guy. He's lost so much money, but he's still calm and composed, as if he still has confidence in winning."

"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, pointed to his Ace of Spades, and said with a smile, "It's not easy to get such a good card, so I want to play it well." He paused, then picked up 500,000 chips from the table and threw them out.

"Five hundred thousand, 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 put out his chips, Duan Zhiheng dealt the third card to both of them. As a result, Liu Dong got a King of Spades, and Han Lei got an Ace of Hearts. This time, the two cards matched the previous ones.

Without considering the hole cards, and with the two visible cards being the same, according to the rules of Texas Hold'em, the suit would determine the winner, with the order being Spades > Hearts > Clubs > Diamonds. This time, Liu Dong's hand was still the best, and it was his turn to speak.

"One million!"

"I follow!"

The fourth card was particularly crucial because it could determine the strength of the hand. In the previous five or six 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 said, holding his newly dealt Ace of Diamonds.

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

"Alright, I bet two million!" In fact, Han Lei could have bet more, but he was afraid Liu Dong would back out again like before, so he only bet two million. He was still nervous, looking at Liu Dong with a probing gaze.

"I follow!" Liu Dong said with a smile.

"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 at stake was nothing. If it weren't for the high salary offered by the Black Tiger Gang, he wouldn't have come to this country where gambling was illegal. Of course, there were some other reasons that he couldn't share with outsiders.

The fifth card: Liu Dong got a Jack of Spades, and Han Lei got a King of Clubs. If only considering the visible cards, Han Lei had two Aces and two Kings, which was the best two pairs in Texas Hold'em. 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 seems 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 now. He said sarcastically, "I want to bet two million, but it seems you don't have that many chips left?"

Indeed, Liu Dong's remaining 5 million had already been bet 3.6 million, leaving him with only 1.4 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 really couldn't understand where Liu Dong's confidence came from, especially since he hadn't even looked at his hole cards.

"What, all-in? Unless he gets a Spade Q to form a straight flush, he's completely out of the game!"

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

At this moment, Wang Haitao, sitting on the side, couldn't help but remind him, "Brother, be careful, don't be rash! If you lose this money, it's really gone!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong smiled kindly. Although he knew Wang Haitao had the idea of recruiting him into the Black Tiger Gang, his sincere warning still made Liu Dong very grateful.

"Don't worry, Brother Wang, I have a plan!" After saying this, Liu Dong turned his head and looked at Han Lei, who was hesitating, with a cold smile in his heart.

'To make him die, first make him go crazy.' The twelve consecutive losses were the final preparation for this moment. He knew that with the advantage of his hand and Han Lei's arrogant nature, he would not refuse the all-in proposal.

Sure enough, as Liu Dong expected, Han Lei nodded heavily. "Alright, all-in it is! My luck is so good today, and my hand is so strong, there's no reason for me to lose to you!" He didn't believe that Liu Dong could get the one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand, Spade Q to form a straight flush.

"Alright, let's do it!" Liu Dong smiled and pushed all his chips forward, and Han Lei did the same.

Soon, Han Lei was the first to reveal his hole card. "I have a King of Clubs, three Kings, and two Aces, a full house. Unless you have a straight flush or four of a kind, I'm definitely winning this time!"
