Chapter 268: Ice City Card King
In the afternoon, it was almost time to agree with Sister Zhang, Xu Qiang left the group and went straight to the club, but there was a person who arrived at the club before him.
It was Han Yufan, talking to a man in his thirties in a private room.
"Mr. Huo, are you confident?" Han Yufan looked at the man in front of him.
Huo Yongjian is a poker expert.
He is very talented in playing poker, and has a well-known nickname, known as the king of cards in the ice city, and has no opponent in the ice city.
Han Yufan met Huo Yongjian in the United States Casino, when Huo Yongjian killed all sides with his excellent card skills, which attracted Han Yufan's attention.
Later, Han Yufan found out that Huo Yongjian and him were on the same plane, and the two of them met, although they did not become good friends, they also exchanged contact information.
When Xu Qiang showed excellent card skills, Han Yuhan thought of Huo Yongjian, in his opinion, Huo Yongjian was the king of cards in Bingcheng, and Xu Qiang was the most powerful, and he was definitely much worse than Huo Yongjian.
"You don't have confidence in me?" Huo Yongjian smiled.
"Not really, it's just that Xu Qiang is not an ordinary person. As soon as he thought of Xu Qiang, Han Yufan had a headache and a wave of anger.
"It doesn't matter if he is an ordinary person or not, because in the field of solitaire, in the world, there are only a limited number of people who can be my opponents, and in Huaxia, there are only two or three people who can be my opponents, and none of them are surnamed Xu!" Huo Yongjian smiled coldly.
"That's good!"
"Don't forget your promise, if I win today, no matter how much I win, I will keep half of it!" Huo Yongjian looked at Han Yufan.
He and Han Yufan had an agreement that the money taken out from Xu Qiang would be divided between the two of them, because Xu Qiang was the fat sheep brought by Han Yufan, and his gambling money was also from Han Yufan.
It can be said that Han Yufan invested, and he was responsible for the specific operation.
"Of course I remember, and if you lose......"
"I'm self-financed when I lose, I don't want you a penny!" Huo Yongjian interrupted Han Yufan's words, he didn't think anyone could beat him.
As soon as the two finished speaking, Sister Zhang and the others arrived.
Then a quarter of an hour later, Xu Qiang also arrived.
Entering the private room, Xu Qiang found that the layout of the private room had changed.
After a simple adjustment, a table was placed in the middle of the private room, and there were some seats not far from the table to make it look like an auditorium.
It is clearly a temporary transformation into a venue, although it is a very non-standard arena, and even the players and spectators are not separated, but it can barely be called a stadium.
"Sister Zhang, it seems that you guys are really painstaking!" Xu Qiang said with a smile, he found Han Yufan again, and once again hid behind the screen.
must be afraid of seeing him, afraid of being picked up by him.
"Brother Xu, it's not right for you to say that, I'm just trying to let you have a good time, I'll introduce you, this is your opponent today, Huo Yongjian!" Huo Yongjian, who was talking to Han Yufan about conditions just now, was introduced to Xu Qiang by Sister Zhang.
Huo Yongjian looked at Xu Qiang and wanted to smile contemptuously.
He doesn't know Xu Qiang, which means that Xu Qiang is not a person in the card circle, at best he is an amateur, why compare with him?
At this time, some of the audience walked in, not many, that is, less than twenty people, but none of them looked like ordinary people.
Xu Qiang immediately understood that it must have been deliberately invited by Han Yufan, the purpose was to see his jokes and see his humiliation.
At the same time, with the help of their mouths, the news that Xu Qiang lost only his underwear was spread, making Xu Qiang embarrassed in this circle.
"Han Yufan, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you again!" Guessing Han Yufan's intentions, Xu Qiang smiled coldly, he came today for only one purpose, to win!
"Everyone, let's start betting now, bet on Xu Qiang to win, 1 to 3, bet on Huo Yongjian to win, 1 to 0.3, start betting now!" Before the game started, a man in his forties stepped forward.
"Who are you?" asked the man.
"Hello Mr. Xu, I am the manager of the club, and my surname is Sun. ”
"Manager Sun, I'm betting on myself to win, I'm going to bet 100 million, do you dare to accept it?" Hearing that his odds were 10 times different from Huo Yongjian's odds, Xu Qiang was a little dissatisfied.
Don't you look down on him?
So he found the person who asked everyone to bet on it, and directly bet on himself to win.
Hearing Xu Qiang's words, Manager Sun seemed a little embarrassed.
On the one hand, as the two sides of the competition, it is generally not allowed to bet, and on the other hand, the bet amount is too high, as high as 100 million.
If Xu Qiang wins, he will pay Xu Qiang 300 million.
Although in his opinion, Xu Qiang's chance of winning is very small, but after all, there is a chance of winning, in case Xu Qiang wins, wouldn't they lose a lot?
"Since Mr. Xu is so confident, Manager Sun, take Mr. Xu's bet!" A man in his fifties in the audience suddenly laughed.
Seeing that Manager Sun immediately took the bet after hearing it, Xu Qiang guessed that the man might be the senior management of the club, or even the owner of the club.
A dealer walked in, just like the dealer in a real movie blockbuster, a young woman with a bit of pose, and someone pushed two large stacks of playing cards with a cart.
He Guan casually chose one of them and opened it in front of the two of them.
"Let's keep it simple, I heard that you played a single draw last night, it must be what you are best at, I don't bully you, let's just play a single draw to compare the size!" Huo Yongjian looked at Xu Qiang.
Looking at his appearance, he didn't take Xu Qiang to heart at all.
And the surrounding audience also talked about it at this time.
Hearing the surrounding discussions, Xu Qiang knew that Huo Yongjian was very famous, and he turned out to be the king of the Ice City card, and no one was optimistic about Xu Qiang.
Even when he bet just now, there were only two people who bought Xu Qiang to win, one of them was Xu Qiang himself, and the other was probably going to try his luck, and he only pressed 100,000.
"When you lose, don't use that as an excuse!"
"Lose?" Huo Yongjian felt as if he had heard the funniest joke.
He smiled as he checked the poker handed over by the dealer.
Rubbing his hand on the playing cards, he threw the poker to Xu Qiang.
Xu Qiang took it and looked at it again, but he didn't find any problems.
In Xu Qiang's opinion, this is normal, after all, it is in full view, even if Huo Yongjian cheats, he will not choose the link that is most likely to be exposed.
The dealer began to shuffle the cards, which was really beautiful as in movies and television.
Then press the cards to the middle of the table and wipe them with your hand.
A deck of playing cards is evenly unfolded like a fan, but the row is downward, indicating that two people can draw.
"I can't bully people, you come first!" Huo Yongjian looked at Xu Qiang.
He's excited today!
According to the agreement with Han Yufan, as long as he wins a game today, he can take at least 100 million in cash, which will only be more, not less.
And he happened to be short of money recently, because he learned from others to invest, and as a result, the project he invested in lost money, and he lost many projects in a row, and all the money in his pocket was wiped out.
He urgently needs a lot of money now, otherwise he would not agree to Han Yufan's harsh conditions, win half of the money, and pay out of pocket if he loses.
He agreed to Han Yufan's harsh conditions, on the one hand, because he was really short of money, and on the other hand, he was confident that he would win the game, so he seemed very excited and relaxed in the ring. Even when drawing cards, he deliberately let Xu Qiang come first.
"Aren't you afraid that I will take the king away?" Xu Qiang smiled.
Some people can't stop them!
"Don't be afraid!" Huo Yongjian pouted.
How can the king be so easily sucked away?
In order to draw the king accurately, it is necessary to remember the order of each card when checking the cards just now, and then see the dealer's shuffling technique, and see what order each card finally moves to.
"Bet first! I'm afraid that if I take the king away, you will be too scared to bet! I'll give 10 million!" Xu Qiang took out a chip.
"Joke, I'll be scared by you? You give 10 million, I'll follow, and then you will be 10 million!" Huo Yongjian didn't pay attention to Xu Qiang's words at all.
Not only did he follow, but he followed.
Generally, you will only do this if you have absolute confidence to win.
"I won't take advantage of you!" Xu Qiang threw out another 10 million chips.
Finally, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he directly drew a card!
Clean, no hesitation at all!
Seeing Xu Qiang take away my cards, Huo Yongjian's face changed.
"It seems that I underestimated you, your eyesight and memory are very good!" The smile on Huo Yongjian's face disappeared, and he stared directly at Xu Qiang.
Although Xu Qiang has not turned over the cards, he already knows the result.
Because he had memorized the order of the rows, he could remember exactly what each card was on the unfolded fan-shaped playing cards.
It's like a poker card that has been drawn, he doesn't have to show it to know what it is.
"Looks like you're throwing in the towel!"
"Hmph, don't be too complacent, I admit that you have two hits, if I draw first, you will definitely have no chance of winning, but your good luck is only this game!" Huo Yongjian said with some regret.
He really underestimated Xu Qiang's strength, he thought Xu Qiang was an amateur, but he didn't expect Xu Qiang to have a professional level.
Even among professional players, you can write down all the cards when you check them, see every reversal of order in the shuffle, and finally draw the cards you want accurately.
Fortunately, there is still a chance to save, it is only the first game, as long as Xu Qiang is not given a chance next, he will still be the final winner, and the final winner can only be him.
"What's going on, who won it?" Sister Zhang, who was in the stands, was confused, because the playing cards that Xu Qiang got hadn't been lifted yet.
As for Huo Yongjian, he didn't draw cards at all.
But listening to the conversation between the two, it seems that the winner has been decided.
They expected to win Huo Yongjian, but from the analysis of the dialogue between the two, the winner was actually Xu Qiang, which made Sister Zhang a little difficult to accept.
"Of course the one who got this card wins!" Xu Qiang turned the card over.
King!
When the size of the single sheet is compared, there is no bigger one than the king.
Seeing that it was the king who Xu Qiang turned over, everyone let out a burst of exclamations, no wonder Huo Yongjian didn't draw cards, because the biggest one had been drawn by Xu Qiang.
Seeing Xu Qiang turning over, and hearing everyone's exclamations, the corners of Huo Yongjian's mouth twitched twice, the victory that should have belonged to him was transferred because of his humility.
It's not about losing in ability!
It was the loss that was not noticed for a while, which made him feel very wronged.
"It's okay, it's my momentary negligence, in the next game, I will win the beautiful show, I want Xu Qiang and everyone present to know that I am the king of cards in Bingcheng, and no one can beat me on cards!" Huo Yongjian comforted himself in his heart, and at the same time secretly swore an oath.
Not only to fight for a breath, but also to earn more money.
