Chapter 26: The Contest between "God" and the King

When Link walked into the VIP room, there were already three people sitting at the table. Seeing them come in, all three stood up.

Chelsea Adelson smiled and introduced Link.

First, a black man in his thirties: "This is Philip Avery. ”

Then there's a middle-aged man with glasses, about forty years old: "This is Jamie Gold." ”

Finally, there is a contact cheek man with a wooden face: "This is Daniel Negrenu." ”

Link greeted him separately. The four of them sat down separately. And at this time, some gamblers are also allowed to come in and act as spectators.

The game also has a dedicated moderator.

Perhaps the Venetian never imagined that the three men they had brought in would lose, so they arranged the game in a hall dedicated to the Open Tournament. There is only one table in the middle of the room, and there is a lot of space around it. The casino allowed other gamblers to sit on the sidelines, seemingly intending to treat the game as if it were an official tournament. Or maybe they're so confident that they want to erase the magic that Link used to get from it. Maybe they also put an advertisement by the way.

A gamble with a total amount of two billion dollars, if it was live on TV, may have been a miracle of ratings long ago. Just two billion is enough for people in the United States not to miss a game like this.

Of course, it is impossible for them to organize live television. Even the audience they didn't plan to ask too much, and in the end about fifty people came in. Among them were Link's five bodyguards and seven or eight security guards in casino uniforms. They all stood two meters away from the table.

The host, ten skinny white men in his early forties, clapped his hands twice to stop the audience's whispering, and said loudly, "Men, women." I'm Harry Drake, and I'm honored to introduce you. Now ready for the game is a game of Gentlemen Philippe Avery, Michael Mitzlahi, Daniel Negrenu and Link Hans. The purchase amount is 500 million. ”

"Wow......" Although he had heard about the huge extent of this gambling game outside, he couldn't help but make a noise when he saw four casino staff pushing four carts loaded with large chips.

"For the sake of a smooth game, please be quiet. Otherwise, our security will ask you to leave. The moderator said loudly again.

After the gambling hall was quiet, he continued: "The rules of the game, this game is a $100,000 unlimited game, and the game ends when any two or more people lose their chips, or if all four people agree. In this game, we will provide the technology *** at the Venetian Casino. Each deck is used only once. Do you have any opinions?"

The four shook their heads one after another. The host smiled and said, "Now the game begins." As he spoke, he stepped aside.

At this moment, a man in a black suit walked up to the table dealing machine. As he dismantled the cards, he said, "Gentlemen. I'm Anthony, and I'm going to be at the service of all gentlemen. ”

He said as he took out the two kings, then shuffled the cards twice in the shuffler, and said, "Please press the blinds." ”

The big blind for this game is $400,000. Daniel Negrenu became the first big blind. The small blind was Philip Avery, who pressed 200,000. Link pressed 100,000.

After the dealer dealt two cards to each person, Link looked at the hole cards, one square eight, and one club nine. Not a good hand, but not the worst either.

After looking at his hole cards, Philip Avery smiled and said, "One million." ”

Link's boss, Jamie Gauder, smiled and added, "Three million." ”

Philip Avery immediately took another stance and called again with two million.

Link didn't raise, and also pressed three million.

The big blind Daniel Negrenu raised again: "Six million." ”

The other two barely even thought about it and just called. Link also saw at this time that the three of them were going to attack together in this game.

Texas Hold'em is actually a kind of card counting and playing psychological play. A continuous raise is an offensive game. If it's each playing its own game, you might be able to figure out whether the opponent is really holding a good hand or bluffing. And now that they're three of them, Link can't figure out who is bluffing with the good cards.

And he also has to consider whether someone is making noise. Although they were three people, he didn't think that the three of them would dare to gamble with 500 million by themselves. They don't have to ask for their gambling money, and Link also knows that it is provided by the Venetian Casino. Their only purpose in participating in this gamble is to win the 500 million in his hand. So as long as one of them wins, and the other two don't lose and leave, they win.

In its current form, Link is like an army surrounded on three sides on the battlefield. As a commander, he had to deal with three armies of equal strength commanded by commanders with different command styles. And these three armies will have a tacit understanding, and in the end only one army will actually attack him, but the other two will constantly harass him, so that he does not know where the enemy will come from.

However, this is the first game. He couldn't have lost his momentum, and after a gesture, he followed suit.

"Oh my God, before the community card was dealt, there were over $28 million in chips on the table, which was enough for me to squander for the rest of my life. It is the biggest gamble in history. ”

Although the host asked for silence, the situation at the table made it impossible to help but whisper.

The host didn't stop it at this time, but only listened with a smile.

The first community card is an eight of hearts, the second is a seven of hearts, and the third is a jack of hearts. Link can already form a pair. But the odds of winning this pair are too small.

Jamie Gauder pressed 10 million at once this time.

Link didn't hesitate and immediately called.

Daniel Negrenu added: "Twenty million." ”

Neither Link nor Jamie folded.

"Wow, my God. This game will cost hundreds of millions, or even hundreds of millions!" This is the melon-eating audience whispering, but the words also reached Link's ears.

Philip just called this time. But at this time, the bets were already more than 108 million.

The community cards are flushed, and it is possible to make a straight flush. The next fourth community card is an ace of clubs. In this round of betting, it is Link's turn to speak first. He hesitated. Unless the next card is a ten, he can make a relatively high hand. But no matter what the hand is, he doesn't have a big chance of winning when he ends up playing the cards.

He ended up betting only one million. This caused a light sigh of disappointment from the audience.

It was his subordinate, Daniel Negrenu, who looked up at him. It was the first time he had seen Link since the start of the game.

Daniel Negrenu kept a wooden face. This is the norm at the table, and his composure is his trademark, which makes him not very good in terms of record, and the number of titles he has won is not very large, but he has the highest career income in the world for the whole year, and he is in the top seven all year round. It was the tallest of those present.

But it was such a calm person who raised again this time: "Twenty million." ”

Link pursed his lips, but quickly called again.

Maybe it's because Daniel has already bet 20 million, and if he raises again, it will be 40 million. So Philip didn't raise the next one, and Gaude folded outright.

At this point, the total number of bets is already more than 168 million.

"God, there's one more round. But now anyone who wins the chips can earn 100 million. "The three people who still insist on looking at the cards are betting more than 60 million, and whoever wins can win 100 million. And 100 million US dollars, more than 99% of the world's people will not be able to earn in a lifetime, let alone earn 100 million US dollars that belong to themselves, even if they have no chance to handle other people's 100 million.

And that's just the first game to make a billionaire. Although the audience who spoke just now was very quiet, the quiet gambling hall made his words very clear. This number makes everyone else wait with bated breath for the outcome of this hand.

The last card is the Ten of Hearts.

Daniel is the first to take a stand. In this round, he directly bet 10 million.

The bet made Link chuckle. There are four hearts on the board, and the other two cards only need one heart on the starting card to win him.

Philip added: "Twenty million." ”

Daniel folds.

Link thought for a moment and called.

Next, Link makes a 7-J straight. However, when Philip's starting card was opened, the audience was amazed.

He had a nine of hearts on his starting cards, and he made a straight flush. A straight flush appeared in the first hand, and the total number of bets in one hand reached 218 million. After the exclamation, the applause from the audience was very intense.

In this game, Link lost the most. He lost 80 million, Daniel lost 70 million, and Jimmy lost the least, only 40 million. However, the real loser in this game is only Link, and no matter how much the others lose, they are all winners.
