"Yes, man, poker tournaments!" Hoffman said, raising the champagne in his hand.

The two had already moved to another location, each ordering a drink and a meal, and talking about the poker tournament.

"WSOP, the World Series of Poker, has unlimited ********, and the winner can receive nearly $10 million in prizes. Hoffman said: "The high prizes attract thousands of gamblers to Las Vegas. ”

"But, as far as I know, Hoffman, it seems that the poker tournament was held in the spring and summer, and now it's autumn!" Li Shixun said with a smile. Of course he knows about the ******** competition, but he doesn't know much.

The United States has always held poker tournaments, and it is entirely up to the mind to win. It's all a trick played by people outside the gambling world, and the gambling kings decided by the competition are all outsiders. If you let a real gambling master serve the table, I am afraid that the other party will lose even his pants.

A real gambling master will steal cards and change cards, and when you are entangled in your bad cards and bad luck, he has already got the cards he wants. These are two worlds apart, so even though poker tournaments in the United States are getting more and more popular, people who are really involved in the gambling world are dismissive. The so-called gambling kings, they will not be more serious.

Hoffman didn't know what Li Shixun was thinking at this time, he smiled and said: "Mike, it seems that you still know some about poker tournaments, it seems that I guessed correctly, you should be here to participate in the tournament." You should thank me and forget about the unhappiness just now, because it will be your luck to meet me. ”

"All right, Hoffman. I'll admit I'm a little interested in this bet, but if you're in this craze. I won't accompany you!" Li Shixun put down the cup in his hand and said.

"Okay. Well, listen to me, okay!" Hoffman continued: "It's customary to start spring and summer, but this year is very different. ”

"WSOP supports online poker, and this time is no exception, but in order to prevent some computer experts from cheating, this year's tournament has made the greatest preparations, and the equipment and personnel have been changed in batches. For this reason, it had to be postponed. ”

"Although it was postponed, it won praise from many people, and this year's number of competitors has reached 7,000 in this time alone. Did you know that last year it was just over 6,000, and as time goes on, there will be more participants. ”

"It seems that this gambling game is worth looking forward to!" Li Shixun said thoughtfully.

"Of course, who can refuse a big bonus? The current contestants are starting to get younger. I miss what it was like ten years ago, hehe......" Hoffman took a sip and added, "You know last year's gambling king, the youngest gambling king Carder, right? Obviously, $8.5 million is not enough to satisfy the young man's appetite. But. Whether he can succeed again this time depends on his luck. ”

This card in Hoffman's mouth. It was the poker king who was decided in November last year. His name is Joe Card. At the age of 21, he was one year younger than the 22-year-old gambling king in 08, which caused a big sensation at the time, and Kade became the idol of many young people.

"Hoffman, are there any conditions for participating in this gambling tournament?" asked Li Shixun.

"The condition is ...... Wait, you don't know?" Hoffman exclaimed halfway through his sentence.

"Why do I want to know?" said Li Shixun.

"But I thought you came here on purpose, damn, I misunderstood!" Hoffman scolded violently, and then said a little excitedly, "So you haven't signed up yet?"

"Of course, this time I came to Las Vegas because I was invited by a friend to come and have fun. Now that I've heard such an interesting thing, of course I want to participate. Li Shixun asked: "Let's talk about the registration process, if there is still time, I think I will participate." ”

"Of course there is time, and there is plenty of time. "World poker events range from ********Texas Hold'em with limits and limits to Seven-Card Stud, Omaha High-Low and a variety of other popular poker plays, with entry fees ranging from $1,500 to $10,000 for all formats," Hoffman said excitedly. ”

"The highest prize money and the most exciting thing is, of course, the battle for the championship, which is to play an unlimited ********. The prize money for this event is high, and the cost of participating in the competition is also high, requiring players to purchase the right to participate in the competition for $10,000. Trust me, Mike, with your strength, you're going to be able to shine. ”

"Why are you so confident in me? Hoffman, you haven't seen my poker skills. ”

"But I have seen your shuffling, very clever skills, although there is no place in the ********, but with such skills, your card skills will not be bad. Hoffman said.

"Well, I didn't expect you to be so talkative. One last question, Hoffman, how much time is the game? I don't have time to spend much time here. Li Shixun asked.

"It won't take long, Mike, just a month, a month will be enough!"

"Are you kidding? Hoffman?" Li Shixun said with a dissatisfied face: "A month is too long, I don't have time at all, it seems that I can only express regret." ”

"No, no, no, Mike, listen to me, a month is really not a long time, think about it, you can earn more than eight million dollars a month......" Hoffman tried to convince Li Shixun.

"Come on, Hoffman, it's true that I have so much money, but I'm sure I'll win the championship?" Li Shixun squinted at him and said, "Why do you want me to participate so much?" Hoffman, you have to give me a reason, otherwise we won't even be friends. ”

"Don't be so sensitive, my friend. Hoffman looked at him with a wry smile and said, "Actually, I just want to be your introducer, so that I can get the qualification to participate in the outside gambling." ”

"Oh, like this kind of regular gambling competition, there are even peripheral gambling fights?" Li Shixun suddenly understood, looked at him with a smile and said, "If I participate in the competition, you will benefit a lot, right?"

Now that they have said it, Hoffman didn't hide it, and nodded: "That's right, the outside bets are on the champion and runner-up, as well as various names." Among them is the highest stakes for the winner. It's just that the periphery is not so easy to obtain qualifications, and it must go through an introducer. ”

"The referrer prepares the information of the players participating in the poker tournament and then throws it to the outside personnel for disclosure. Each referrer has three high roller slots, which means that the referrer can help the three high rollers place bets, and whether they are right or not, the referrer has a significant commission. ”

"It's kind of interesting!" Hearing this, Li Shixun smiled meaningfully. (To be continued.) )
