Chapter Sixty-Nine: Best Supporting Actor Reward: Death
Link did hesitate. But he's not hesitating whether to follow, he's hesitating whether to raise. When the Greeks raised, he suddenly came to his senses, and he thought he could win the hand. It's a very mysterious feeling. I can't say why, but he just had that sense.
He hesitated for a moment, then raised.
Mondeon continued to deal cards, Link was an 8 of diamonds, and the Greeks were a jack of diamonds.
This time the Greeks directly bet 20 million. Link called, and raised six million.
The Greeks did not hesitate to follow suit.
Next, the Greeks get an ace of diamonds, and Link gets a six of diamonds.
The Greek stated that he launched twenty chips.
Link hesitated for a moment, and rolled out the same amount of chips in Mondeon's inquiry. He looked up and saw the Greeks blink twice. That's nervous?
On the fourth card, the Greeks get an ace of diamonds again. Although there are four aces of diamonds in the four decks. However, the chances of appearing on the board of one player at the same time in a round are low.
Gambling with multiple decks of cards is for the sake of fairness. Because then it's harder to count cards. But that also comes with a very strange hand.
For example, if you're lucky, you can show four aces of the same suit and bring one other card of the same suit.
Link also gets a diamond, but he has a 9 of diamonds.
Now, both hands are flushed, but the Greek has a bigger hand and he has an ace.
In the final round, it was the Greeks who took the lead in taking a stand. Link noticed that he hesitated.
I saw the Greeks close their eyes, hesitate for a moment, and slowly count out a hundred square chips: "Two hundred million!"
Link lowered his eyelids and seemed to struggle for a moment before finally following. He paused and said, "I'm going to raise." But he didn't say how much to add right away. Just count the chips, and it's slower.
Seeing him like this, Papadopos' eyes flashed.
Link showed a hundred chips and wanted to push them out, but seemed to hesitate and pushed only half of them out: "I'm raising 100 million." ”
His performance made Tommy Coklein, who was more and more worried, feel slightly bitter in his heart. In the game just a few hours ago, he also saw that Link didn't know how to play psychological warfare at all. In this regard, Link behaves like a seven-year-old.
I didn't expect him to want to play psychology now, but he was still hesitant to play. If he and Link weren't in the same group, he would laugh out loud and tell Link very sincerely: psychological warfare is not that fun.
His heart was bitter, but the others did not have that burden. In this round of betting, Link's performance was indeed clumsy. It seems that because the form of action is becoming more and more unfavorable to him, he wants to change his strategy, and everyone knows that he is trying to cheat.
Judging by his hand, his hand does have the potential to be a straight flush. But he's so good, judging by his performance in the last few hours. Even if he says his hole card is a 7 of diamonds, no one will believe it.
Papadopols would not have believed it. Although there are four diamonds in a deck of 7s. But in the first three rounds, there are already two cards on the board. And in the game he just gave up, the hole card was a diamond 7. How small is the percentage of four decks that encounter the last diamond, a 7.
Of course, there is a contingency for everything. Although he believes that Link's hole card will not be a 7 of diamonds. But he still didn't dare to call easily. Because if he called again this time, the five hours of hard work just now would have been completely wasted. He's putting a lot of pressure on his opponent right now, making them make mistakes. If the game allows the opponent to win. The pressure fell entirely on him. If he calls and loses, he will lose nearly 380 million cumulatively.
However, if you don't follow him, you will definitely lose this game of 280 million.
This is the highest bet total since the start of the game. Both of the people sitting at the table heard the bigwigs biting their ears from the sidelines. Although the whisper was inaudible, it also made both of them a little more nervous.
There was too much money to bet on in this game, the biggest gamble the Greek had made since he became a professional gambler, and it was impossible not to be nervous.
Link, on the other hand, has experienced a gamble of more than a billion chips, and his heart seems to be better. But his upper body also seemed to become stiff. His face, with a blank expression, was forced to sweat, and he didn't reach out to wipe it. But Papadopols was still aware of the light reflected by the small beads of sweat on his face in the glimmer of the bright lights in the gambling room.
He pushed out a lot of chips: "I'll take 100 million, and then raise 200 million." He stared at Link and found that Link seemed to tremble a little when he pushed out his chips, and the reflection of light on his face seemed to be a little brighter. Seeing this, he smiled slightly.
Link seemed to be a bit of a mess and rolled out another 200 million chips. I saw that he straightened his waist, but he didn't turn over the hole cards for a long time.
The eyes of the Greeks did not miss his every move, even his eyes and expressions.
He looked at Mondeon.
Mondion knew what he meant, he glanced at Link, who seemed to be in a state of anxiety, and said, "Now please ......"
Link shouted, "Wait!"
"Mr. Hans?" everyone was incomprehensible to Link's overreaction, as was Mondeon.
Link seemed to be struggling inwardly, and said in a dumb voice, "I'm going to raise!"
"Wow~" The uproar in the gambling hall remembered the invitation.
Everyone present could see that Link was dying, but no one expected him to collapse at this time. At this point, he thought that this raise would force his opponent to give up the game. Everyone was suspicious of his brain structure.
The Greek didn't think of anything else, for he saw a flash of panic and despair in Link's eyes. Although the other party tried his best to cover it up, he still saw it. He smiled and asked in Mondeon's place, "I wonder how much Mr. Hans wants to raise?"
Link took two deep breaths, seemingly forcibly calming down. I saw him take a lot of chips from the cart, and then push it out: "I'll raise 500 million." ”
"Do you dare to follow?"
Papadopols seemed to see a dying enemy in his dying throes. He smiled freely, then counted out a pile of chips, slowly pushed them out, and said, "I'll follow, and raise another 500 million." "He wanted to get Link in one game.
Even if Link doesn't call anymore. After this game, he will win 1.80 billion. Although he filled in the previous hole of more than 300 million, he still can't settle the situation in one game. But he knew that his opponent had collapsed. In the next two hours, he will definitely hit the mark.
Even if you don't win a billion tonight, it will be easy to deal with an opponent who has collapsed tomorrow night.
He saw that Link seemed to be a punctured inflatable doll, leaning back in a chair.
When Mondeon saw him like this, he couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy in his heart. He felt that the hand was now decided, and Link certainly didn't have the courage to call again. But he had to ask: "...... Mr. Hans?"
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard Link say, "I'll follow!"
His words were loud, but the loud voice was not the most surprising. Rather, his tone was full of lightness, brightness, and ...... Smile.
He was actually laughing.
Yes, Link is laughing. When he finally looked up, his smile was bright. He smiled and pushed the 500 million chips into the middle of the table.
Now he's winning the whole game.
His performance made the hearts of the Greeks feel like a storm. Link was acting! Perhaps he was the most unproductive supporting character. not only failed to get paid, but also paid a price of $1.58 billion for participating in this scene.
He looked at Link's smug smile, if he was looking at a devil. His face turned pale, and he couldn't believe it all. He was so distracted that he didn't even hear Mondeon's questioning.
The last two players compete. Link's card is a 7 of diamonds. His card is a straight flush. The Greeks' hole cards were counted without looking.
The Greek did not turn over the cards, his face grew redder and his eyes turned redder, and suddenly his eyes protruded outward, and a cloud of blood sprayed out of his mouth and crossed the table.
Link was so shocked by this scene that he forgot to dodge, and his face was stained with blood.
The strangeness of the Greeks not only startled Link, but also made the onlookers exclaim. It was Mondion who reacted first. He was just stunned for a moment, and immediately ran over and squatted down and turned the eyes of the Greek, and saw that the blood on them was red, and his heart jumped, and he reached out and touched the carotid artery of the Greek. He stood up, shook his head, and said, "It's a severe cerebral hemorrhage, and there is no heartbeat." ”
But what needs to be done is still to be done, and soon the casino people carried the person out and sent him to the hospital. Link took out his handkerchief to wipe the blood off his face, but he hadn't been able to react from the scene earlier.
In fact, he knew that he was gambling with the Greeks. Those who lose are likely not to see the sun today. It's just that he made all the preparations he could, and maybe he would have lost his life. But the Greeks were different. If he loses, four billion dollars is enough to buy him a thousand lives.
Now he's dead at the table, making Link think he killed him. Cerebral hemorrhage, for a person in his thirties, is not common. Maybe losing a billion would have made the Greeks very angry, but if he hadn't cursed each other in a circle, maybe he wouldn't have died of a cerebral hemorrhage. Perhaps it was he who killed the Greeks directly.
After the Greeks were carried away, the gamble continued.
Mondeon declares Link the winner. More than three billion dollars were pushed in front of Link at the gambling table, almost burying him.
But the Greeks weren't there, and there was no one on the Atlantic City Grand Hotel to bet with Link. And even if they wanted to gamble, with less than $200 million in chips left, it would be impossible for them to turn defeat into victory from Link.
Hulse offered to suspend gambling on the grounds of an accident.
Tommy Cockline said: "According to the agreement, representatives of both sides can apply for two timeouts in the game, each time not exceeding fifteen minutes. Now both parties have already applied once. You can also apply once and find a replacement to continue the game with our representative as soon as possible for the rest of the day. ”
