Chapter 250: The Storm Beneath the Calm
In this round, the n.o.ble lady’s cards were much better than the previous round. She had a 6-7-8 flush.
Without hesitation, the n.o.ble lady threw the chips in. “Follow with two million yuan!”
After one round, the chips in the pool were close to fifty million yuan.
Then it was Jian Ai’s turn. She didn’t stop throwing two million yuan worth of chips into the pool. Just when everyone thought that she was going to continue following, Jian Ai took another two million yuan worth of chips and threw them into the pool. Then, she looked at the n.o.ble lady with a faint smile and said softly, “Four million yuan. I’ll look at your cards!”
The n.o.ble lady was stunned as if she hadn’t expected this little girl to see her cards first.
Because she was next to her and she had yet to add her bet for the second round, if she were to be eliminated this time, it would be equivalent to adding one less bet.
On the other hand, Jian Ai was doing this on purpose. In the previous round, she had tricked this n.o.ble lady once, so she wanted to make her lose a little less in this round. As such, she chose to see her cards first so that she could be eliminated early.
Although it was said that the wool came from the sheep, this was still a bit of kindness from her.
When she came back to her senses, she placed her cards on the table and turned them to Jian Ai.
The other players stared at Jian Ai’s face, trying to capture her first reaction when she saw the cards.
However, Jian Ai still had a faint smile on his face. There was no change in her expression.
Since she already knew everyone’s cards when the cards were dealt, why would she be surprised?
On the other hand, the n.o.ble lady seemed to be very confident in her cards. Just as she was about to watch Jian Ai throw away her cards, she saw Jian Ai slowly raise her head to look at her, then gently shake her head at her. “Sorry!”
With that, Jian Ai threw the lady’s card into the fold area.
It was obvious that Jian Ai had better cards than the n.o.ble lady!
The n.o.ble lady’s expression remained unchanged. This was also a form of respect for the game. No matter how good her cards were that she lost, she could not show any sign of it.
However, she could not calm down in her heart. A flush was her best combination today, but she lost?
Could it be that she had a straight flush?
Then, it was the j.a.panese man’s turn to add his bet. Someone had already seen someone else’s cards. With a pair of aces in his hands, although it was a great combination, it wasn’t a guaranteed win.
Four million yuan worth of chips were thrown in. The j.a.panese man chose to look at Jian Ai’s cards.
Jian Ai raised her eyebrows and placed her cards on the table without hesitation.
With just a glance, the other party threw his cards into the fold area expressionlessly and then returned Jian Ai’s cards to her.
In just two minutes, Jian Ai had eliminated two players. The chips in the pool increased to sixty million yuan!
There were still five players who hadn’t given up yet. Jian Ai, who had eliminated two players in one go, had become the target of concern.
After the j.a.panese man and the n.o.ble lady were both eliminated, the player after Jian Ai became Ji Haoyu.
“Add five million yuan!”
Ji Haoyu had no intention of looking at the cards at all. He directly threw the chips into the gambling table and raised the bet to five million yuan!
With that, one had to throw in ten million yuan to look at someone else’s cards!
The player after Ji Haoyu was a blond, blue-eyed foreigner. The cards in his hand were J-Q-K, the largest flush. This was already a sure-win in most games.
“Follow with five million yuan!” The blond man followed in without hesitation.
The remaining two people didn’t want to take the risk, but they weren’t willing to give up their cards. They threw in ten million yuan worth of chips each to look at the blond man’s and Ji Haoyu’s cards respectively.
Both of them were eliminated. The chips in the pool had reached ninety million yuan!
