readx;
Liu Wei went to New York for two days, and Mobei Wolf was happy in Atlantic City for two days. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because he came back late, Liu Wei didn't go to the hotel and went directly to the casino.
To his great surprise, Mobei Wolf was not there!
"Where did he go?"
"I've searched all over the hotel, but I haven't found him." Kapuya is more anxious than Liu Wei, "The final will start in fifteen minutes, if he is late, he will ......"
"What will happen?"
Capua hesitated for a moment and said, "If you're more than five minutes late, he'll be disqualified." ”
"Send more people, and you must find him."
"All the people have been sent out, and I will talk to the organizing committee to see if I can postpone the competition."
Liu Wei didn't say much and let Capuya go.
It must have been Duplin and Fortuna's work!
Liu Wei looked at the two people opposite Zhang at the final table, Duplin was whispering to a gambling tycoon, looking very proud, Fortuna was still the same cold look, there was no expression on her face, but the eyes hidden behind the toad mirror were also looking at Liu Wei.
Damn, they must be doing something in the dark!
Liu Wei was thinking about whether to go up to say hello and find out the details of Fortuna, and Capua hurried over.
"There's no way, the schedule of the game has already been set, and no one has any privileges."
"That is, it can't be postponed?"
Capua nodded, looking depressed.
"It's okay, even if I go alone, I can win."
"Are you sure?"
Duplin happened to look this way, and Liu Wei didn't think about it, and raised his middle finger at him.
It was an unruly gesture, but it lifted Capua a little.
"I want to figure out one thing."
"What's the matter?" Capua pulled out a sandalwood cigarette case and his hands trembled a little as he took the cigar.
"Can I bet on anything other than gambling money?"
"Something else?"
Liu Wei nodded, took the sandalwood cigarette case from Capua's hand, took out a cigar, and put the cigarette case in his pocket. "It's not about the tournament, it's just a private bet."
"Of course you can, as long as the other party agrees."
"What about qualifying for the World Championship of Gambling?"
"This ......," Capua hesitated for a moment and said, "it depends on the contestant's sponsor, and if the sponsors of both sides don't object, it's okay." ”
"Would you object?"
Capuya hesitated again.
"It's not much fun to take one spot, you can take two if you want to, right?"
Capuya gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you can win, I will not object." ”
Liu Wei smiled and thought that this guy was talking very interestingly. Logically, before Liu Wei wins, he has to make a decision, not after Liu Wei wins.
It's just that it doesn't matter, Liu Wei doesn't want to go to Monte Carlo alone.
At this time, the organizing committee came out to announce that the competition was about to start and invited the participants to enter.
Liu Wei called Takeuchi Qinyin over and asked her to find Mobei Wolf no matter what.
Fortuna and Cosente were the first to enter, and they seemed determined to win.
Liu Wei was not in such a hurry, and waited until the referee was about to sit still before he entered the venue. At this time, the audience knew that Liu Wei faced Fortuna and Cosent alone, and his partner did not appear.
After the contestants entered the arena and took their seats, the organizers lowered the hood that hung from the roof.
The cover is a double-layer leaded glass, and the vacuum interlayer in the middle can be soundproofed, and the leaded glass itself can shield electromagnetic radiation and radiation, so that the contestants in the cover cannot communicate with the outside world, and it is impossible for outsiders to see the contestants' hole cards with fluorescent instruments.
Inside the casino, there is also an electromagnetic wave detector.
Spectators hand over their mobile phones, laptops and other electronic devices before entering the casino, and they have to be checked by security personnel to make sure that no one can bring electronic devices into the casino.
After the hood was lowered, the organizing committee also dispatched dozens of armed bodyguards to surround the outside.
It can be said that the security work is very tight, and no matter how powerful the boss is, don't think about cheating.
The audience was all fifteen meters away, and their eyes were better enough to see what was going on on the table. If you don't have good eyesight, you can only watch the big screen.
Because the contestants were unable to communicate with the outside world, the final was broadcast live.
Even if the audience knows the player's hole cards, they can't tell the player.
Although Liu Wei is the No. 1 seed in the finals, the chance of winning is almost zero when he is fighting alone, and few people are optimistic about him.
After the start of the final, the situation was very unfavorable for Liu Wei.
Although in terms of probability, he still has a one-in-three chance, but with the help of Fortuna, Liu Wei can only get one place at most.
For him, this is definitely not enough.
If nothing else, Duplin and Fortuna tried their best to make the Mobei Wolf unable to compete on time, they must want to get a place, and Liu Wei will never let them succeed!
So Liu Wei made a decision, a decision that surprised everyone.
In less than a hundred, Liu Wei lost more than half of his 230 million gambling funds, leaving less than 30 million, and Cosant also left the scene at this time.
In other words, the three of them combined with about 430 million gambling funds, most of which were in Fortuna's hands.
The ending has been decided, Liu Wei is second, Fortuna is first, and the two will join forces to march to Monte Carlo.
Just when the referee was about to announce the result, Liu Wei made a request.
"Miss Fortuna......" Liu Wei smiled and said, "Whether you have that name or not, I want to bet a little bigger with you." ”
Fortuna looked a little surprised, because what Liu Wei had done before was very abnormal.
"Bet on the two of us going to Monte Carlo." Liu Wei took out the sandalwood cigarette case and took out the last cigar inside, "You win, my place belongs to you." I won, and your place is mine. The way to decide whether to win or lose is simple, how about seeing who wins the opponent's chips first? ”
Is this kid crazy?
After Liu Wei's words came out through the loudspeaker on the TV, the crowd immediately boiled.
Fortuna hesitated for a moment, then looked back at Duplin.
The situation is very clear, Liu Wei only has less than 30 million chips, Fortuna has more than 400 million, no more than anything else, compared to the capital in the hands of the two, Fortuna's probability of winning is more than 95%.
Duplin didn't care about the $30 million, and it was Fortuna's anyway.
All he valued was another place to go to Monte Carlo.
Since Liu Wei took the initiative to send him to death, what else is there to say?
After a moment's thought, Duplin nodded.
On Liu Wei's side, Capuya hesitated for a while. It's just that then I thought that if I offended Liu Wei, even if I got a place to go to Monte Carlo, I wouldn't gain anything, and maybe I would have to lose a lot of money. Since Liu Wei challenged Fortuna, why not give it a try?
After the sponsors of both sides agreed, the referee announced that the final would continue.
As soon as the dealer picked up the playing cards, Liu Wei raised his hand and made a new request.
"Shuffle the cards twenty-five times in a row, and then cut from the seventeenth card."
The dealer was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything, glanced at Fortuna, and saw that she had no objection, so he shuffled the cards according to Liu Wei's request.
This is also a feature of Texas Hold'em, where gamblers can ask the dealer to shuffle and cut cards.
Other gamblers cannot object, but can only make new demands on this basis, such as increasing the number of shuffles, or cutting the cards a second time.
At this time, Fortuna already had a number in her heart, and she was shocked.
Liu Wei's request seems very simple, but in fact it makes the secret of the two, that is, both of them can judge the opponent's hole cards and the community cards that the dealer is about to issue through mental arithmetic, but there is a gap, and it is a very big gap. Each time the cards are shuffled, the order of the cards will change once, and the cards will be shuffled twenty-five times in a row, and the amount of calculations that need to be completed is the twenty-fifth power of the shuffle, not twenty-five times.
What's worse is that this not only tests mental arithmetic ability, but also eyesight.
Those who are qualified to come here as dealers must have first-class skills, and they can divide a deck of playing cards into two parts at will, and when shuffling the cards, they are crossed one by one. The problem is that shuffling the cards twenty-five times in a row can make a mistake even for the best dealer, and even the slightest mistake can completely change the order of the playing cards.
How it turned out, then there is no need to say more.
Liu Wei has such eyesight and mental arithmetic speed, but Fortuna may not be able to.
The dealer shuffled the playing cards according to Liu Wei's request, cut off the first seventeen cards, and began to deal the cards.
By this time, Fortuna was in complete despair.
The dealer made two mistakes not once, and she only saw one. Although she delayed a little time, she could also calculate the results after twenty-five shuffles and one cut, but she didn't see that mistake clearly, which made her mental arithmetic ability a decoration, and she lost the opportunity to judge Liu Wei's hole cards.
Of course, Fortuna still has a chance.
Look at the hole cards!
Because you roughly know the arrangement of this deck of cards, as long as you know your hole cards, you can roughly calculate Liu Wei's hole cards and the community cards issued by the dealer.
It's not very accurate, but it's enough to give Fortuna some chances.
Of course, this was enough for her to decide to gamble with Liu Wei, instead of abstaining for the $400 million.
Unlike Fortuna, Liu Wei didn't look at the hole cards at all, because he saw the whole process of shuffling the cards clearly. The dealer made a total of three mistakes, one of which was very difficult to spot.
As for that cut, it was completely out of nowhere, just a smoke bomb.
The reason is very simple, Liu Wei cannot know how many times the dealer will make mistakes when shuffling the cards, and it is impossible to guess the result of the shuffle in advance.
Since you don't know the result of the shuffle, there is no point in letting the dealer cut the cards in advance.
According to the rules, after the dealer shuffles the cards, other people can also ask for the cards to be cut.
Fortuna did not give up, and Liu Wei did not add to the call. The two came to the fifth round calmly, and after Fortuna called for 10,000 yuan, Liu Wei stud directly. She didn't flinch, but followed Liu Wei Stud, because she wanted to know Liu Wei's hole cards, and she also wanted to know if Liu Wei was so accurate.
Fortunately, Liu Wei's luck is good, he didn't cheat.
As a result, this guy ate Fortuna's K with an A, and easily won nearly $30 million in a result unimaginable to ordinary people.
