Section 286 Journey 15
As mentioned earlier, two people are competing for luck. So from the first card, the two men didn't hesitate to pile the bet to the highest.
Then there will be nothing, the split is completed, and everyone will show their hole cards.
Although it is said that playing cards on the surface, half of it depends on luck, and the other half depends on technique and psychological games. But that's normal, and for now, that's something else.
At least the dealer himself knows exactly what cards are on both sides. After all, it is now the third round of reshuffle, and he is familiar with what cards will appear in the two people. On the cards of both sides, Lu Wu has a pair of eights, while the tuberculosis ghost is a pair of sixes, and it looks like Lu Wu has an advantage. However, Lu Wu's hole card is a miscellaneous card, while the tuberculosis ghost's hole card is a six. That is to say, at the end of the draw, Lu Wu will appear a pair of eights, and the tuberculosis ghost will have three of a six. This is a very good hand for tricking enemies into falling for it. Of course, I won't talk about it now, but I've already reached the upper limit anyway...... All in all, it will be a no-brainer victory. The tuberculosis ghost directly won back all the money he had lost in the previous game.
After the cards are dealt, the tuberculosis ghost will be in the hand of the hole card a flash, three of a kind of six. He looked at Lu Wu triumphantly. And Lu Wu motioned to the strange woman who called over to increase her luck to turn over the hole cards. Obviously, as he said, with the help of the luck of the beauty.
This kind of superstition has existed since ancient times. More in the casino. People always believe that some nobles, beautiful women and the like are born with good luck, and they want to get a little bit of this good luck through various means. However, this time it was not about luck, it was all about being decided in advance. As mentioned earlier, don't talk about an unknown beauty, even if the president of the United States comes to help you flop, you will still lose.
The beauty's slender hand gently picked up the covered card. All eyes were focused on the hand, which placed the cards on the table with a light release.
It's an eight! Now it's three against three, and three eights overwhelm three sixes. The crowd of onlookers, even those casino staff who didn't know the truth, couldn't help but let out a bottom-down exclamation.
The face of the tuberculosis ghost changed from pale to iron blue in an instant. He glared at the dealer on the side, and the dealer looked at the three of a kind of eight against three of a kind of six, without any suspense, with a look of disbelief.
The people around me didn't suspect it. Even if you are an experienced veteran, it is estimated that this kind of game is rarely seen. Of course, a tuberculosis ghost is a typical anger. It's clear that you're not lucky, but it's easy to get angry with the dealer.
The staff on the side pushed the chips to Lu Wu's side. Because he saw that the colleague who dealt the cards was still stunned, he couldn't help but gently pull the corner of the opponent's clothes with his hand, reminding the other party not to be in a daze, and to start the next game.
The dealer came to his senses, and even he didn't realize that his sideburns were soaked in cold sweat. When he folded the cards and shuffled them, he accidentally made a small mistake that left a fold mark on one of the cards. Because of this, he changed to a new deck of cards and started shuffling them all over again.
Not to mention him, the group of people in front of the surveillance screen were surprised.
Everyone's attention was focused on the two people facing each other at the table. Now, the chips in front of the two men are almost equal. The tuberculosis ghosts that had won from Lu Wu and Ren Jian had already lost a large part of them. On top of that, a hint of unease already appeared on his face.
It is normal for a gambler to never appear on the face of the expression. It's worse than being expressionless. Fortunately, the gambling king is the gambling king, and with the sound of shuffling, his expression gradually regained his composure.
Hardly anyone noticed that the dealer's arm trembled slightly when he stopped shuffling. This does not bode well for dealers. Shuffling is an extremely delicate action, and every slight change in the body will lead to the shuffling of different cards.
A new round of dealings has begun. This time it's finally not a "race of luck". The two men raised gradually as usual. But in the final round, Lu Wu unsurprisingly pushed high chips again.
If everything is right in the shuffle, then the round should be a straight beating two pairs. The tuberculosis ghost is a straight son on his side, and Lu Wu is two pairs on his side. Lu Wu's hole card is a miscellaneous card that has no use.
The tuberculosis ghost showed his hole cards and made up a straight. It shouldn't be wrong, it won't be wrong, the dealer told himself in his heart. Everything is normal, Lu Wu should be two pairs...... Under normal circumstances, he was absolutely sure. But...... The dealer doesn't dare to say he's 100% sure now.
Lu Wu smiled and motioned to the beautiful woman he had temporarily invited to help open the cards.
"Hulu!" someone shouted. The dealer's face was pale and his legs were weak - if it hadn't been for the colleagues around him who noticed that he was not good and helped him in time, he probably fell straight down like this. Several people noticed the dealer's problem, and someone helped him to the side and sat down, and an enthusiastic colleague poured him a glass of water. But he held the cup in both hands, just staring at the game mechanically, not understanding what was wrong. His shuffling technique, the technique he was proud of, was now failing again and again, and it was an inexplicable failure that even he couldn't figure out.
Of course, his departure did not affect the game. A large amount of chips were pushed to Lu Wu's side. In this case, a new dealer arrives at the table.
In another part of the ship, several completely dumbfounded planners had already sensed that something was wrong. It's not normal, no, it's not right! Someone has ordered a replay of the footage, the slow-motion one.
There are several cameras in the box. While you can't peek at a player's cards, it's handy to see what's going on at the table. After all, we all know that as long as the action and speed are fast enough, in fact, many people can do things that people can't even notice. A lot of so-called magic is built on this foundation.
However, during slow-motion playback, all of these tricks come to light.
The dealer was in poor health because of a sudden illness, so it was natural to change to a dealer. The new dealer moves slowly, it can be said to be slow. He also made a special move with a new deck of cards, but no matter how slow it was, he finished shuffling the cards and began to deal them.
The two of them faced each other, Lu Wu's smile was still the same, while the tuberculosis ghost was sitting upright, with a fierce expression on his face.
At this time, in terms of chips, Lu Wu already had a bunch more than the other party. That's the benefit of high stakes, a few times and the big chips change hands. Dozens of rounds of small wins and small losses are not as good as winning or losing in such a game.
Now, the former gambling king has determined that the opponent is out of the thousands. Although even now it is not clear how the opponent did it, as a gambling king, he can 100% believe that there must be a ghost in it.
Lu Wu picked up a large amount of chips from front of him and put it in the hands of the beautiful woman next to him. The latter put it away with a smile on his face.
The two of them were close to each other, looking like they were eyebrow-raising. Although Ren Jian felt that it was very inappropriate, he couldn't take care of so much in this situation. In fact, looking at the change in the face of that tuberculosis ghost, he was really refreshed.
In fact, half of what attracts a person to gamble is called "unwillingness", and the other half is "hatred". Yes, it's not actually to win money, it's just very uncomfortable to look at the other party's provocative expression. Look at you, that's it! If you meet a more ruthless one, you can't do it!
The dealer began to deal cards to the two men slowly.
On the other side, Lu Wu's actions just now have begun to be played back in slow motion. At this time, people suddenly realized that Lu Wu had never touched the cards from beginning to end. Because everyone is simply competing for luck, Lu Wu didn't even look at the hole cards.
However, just because you don't touch a hand doesn't mean you can't make a thousand. It's like a magic show, sometimes the magician himself is a disguise, and the real means are on the assistant's side. Although they knew that theoretically this woman and Lu Wu had nothing to do with each other, it was also possible that the two of them were accomplices at all.
The camera is simply playing one picture after another at the moment of the flop, and it is also zoomed in. However, the woman's light action of turning over the cards did not have any problems. You can't trust your eyes, but you can't trust these machines that record every detail meticulously and absolutely faithfully.
Everybody sensed that something was really wrong. Theoretically, this is not possible. But looking at the gold medal dealer who is still sitting in the corner, holding a water glass in a daze...... But I think it's probably just an accident. The so-called man has stumbled, and the horse has stumbled.
But for now, there is nothing that can be done. They can't just rush in now, announce that the other party cheated and arrest him - it's not impossible, but if they can't produce evidence, they will definitely be prosecuted afterwards.
In countries where casinos are allowed, it's an unwritten rule: if you can't find a way to get a thousand, you can't get a thousand! Casinos can only let you leave, announce that they won't be accepted, but nothing more can be done.
However, considering the staggering wealth of billions, it seems that any rules can be ignored for the time being.
Just as a few people were seriously thinking about it, and talking softly about the issue in private, the on-screen gamble ended another round. Without any surprises, Lu Wu won the victory. The former gambling king has done his best, but the opponent's hole cards are too good.
The gambling king is not the same as a sure victory. As mentioned earlier, card games are half luck and half skill and mental games. If there is really too much difference in luck between each other, then you can't win anything. He was already very good, and he actually held out several rounds in the face of the opponent's amazing luck, avoiding the trap more than once. But in the end, I fell into it.
Now, almost no one has any confidence in the professional level of the former gambling king. But it didn't really matter, they had already decided to use the last hand after some trade-offs. Even if you have to resell the cruise ship at a low price afterwards, you don't hesitate to do so!
At this time, someone suddenly called.
In particular, in order to make the acting realistic, the WIFI on the ship was turned off, but the phone was still connected. At least the high-level mobile phones on the ship can be used.
Kruger picked up his phone, only to see a number he hadn't thought of. It's that prodigal!
He picked up the phone. Sure enough, it was Thomas! Thomas informed himself in a very pleasant voice that he had just acquired a small foreign bank. Or to be more specific, he got a majority stake in the small bank, and thus gained control.
Kruger's face immediately turned ugly...... The bank that Thomas bought was the same bank that Lu Wu and Ren Jian had borrowed. Yes, a small and inconspicuous foreign bank. If Thomas bought the bank randomly and aimlessly...... Even he didn't believe it when he said it!
was discovered...... Although it is not known how the secret was leaked, it is clear that Thomas uprooted the plot and did not give him any chance at all. However, the acquisition of the bank ......
"No way, you should be in ......"
"I'm on the expedition," Thomas replied. "But that doesn't stop me from getting a friend to act as an agent for the acquisition. Well, by the way, I've already entrusted a friend to take care of the bank. It should be on track soon. ”
With that, Thomas hung up the phone.
Kruger's face turned pale. Of course he knew what Thomas meant by such a phone call. His plans have come to light. Thomas went straight to the bottom of the kettle, and now all means are meaningless.
Several people in the monitoring room had already heard the conversation between the two sides, looked at each other silently, and turned to leave the monitoring room. Although at this moment, the screen is showing the last game of both sides. This is really the last round, because the tuberculosis ghost has nothing left to bet on, and he can't play the next round at all.
