On the evening of the first day, the organizing committee of the "Competition" announced the list of participants and held a lottery ceremony symbolizing surnames. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Strictly speaking, the Yankees care a lot about fairness.

Although many of the contestants are foreigners, and there are also gambling tycoons from Canada and Mexico, most of them are Americans, and the majority of them are American gambling giants.

Duprin was the host, but he didn't take advantage. Among the three contestants sponsored by him, one is the winner of the previous edition and directly enters the semi-finals. The other two have to participate in the preliminaries, and the draw is not very ideal, one of them will face Liu Wei in the first game, and the other is likely to compete with Mobei Wolves in the second game.

The game started on the second night, and Liu Wei's table became a well-deserved focus battle.

He was joined on the stage by the black gambler funded by Duprin, a Latin American gambling king backed by the Carlos family in Mexico, and an Irish-American who qualified for the tournament by qualifying for the tournament points. Before the start of the game, almost everyone thought that the guy funded by Duplin would win in the end, and no one was optimistic about Liu Wei because he was a new face to the North American gambling community.

Because there are so many contestants, only one winner per table will be produced in the first round of the budget.

As a result, the Latin American gambling king was the first to lose all his chips.

By this time, Liu Wei's performance was not eye-catching, only winning more than one million dollars, a few million less than the Irishman, and the black gambler won almost fifteen million dollars.

At this point, the situation was deadlocked.

Liu Wei and the Irishman are very cautious, and many times they take the initiative to abandon when they get big and good cards.

When Mobei Wolf came to see the excitement with 65 million chips, the situation was still deadlocked. Liu Wei hardly screams, and rarely calls. It's only when he almost loses all the chips he has won that he makes a small win. The Irishman's luck was not so good, and even with care, his chips were dwindling rapidly.

By the time the Irishman was about to lose $10 million, the rest of the tables were over.

After the chips were less than $10 million, the Irish voluntarily gave up and stood up. Interestingly, when this guy left, he ignored the aggressive black gambler, but looked at Liu Wei meaningfully. At this time, the chips in front of Liu Wei were only $23 million.

At this time, the gambling game has just begun.

At the beginning of the bet between the two, Liu Wei didn't look at the hole cards at all, and took the initiative to give up five times. By the time the dealer dealt his cards for the sixth time, the black gambler had lost $10,000 as always. Liu Wei still didn't look at the hole cards, and directly lost two million dollars to go up.

There was an exclamation from the crowd, and the black gamblers were startled.

This is the first time that Liu Wei has taken the initiative to add a call, and he directly mentioned the upper limit.

The black gambler glanced at his hole cards, pondered for a while, and followed two million dollars.

The dealer had just turned over the second hole card, and Liu Wei lost another two million dollars, still not looking at the hole cards.

The crowd let out another burst of exclamations, and it seemed that many people thought Liu Wei was crazy.

What kind of gambling is this without looking at the hole cards to add the bid, and directly to the upper limit?

Kapuya also pinched a cold sweat, because he was not a little sure of Liu Wei's gambling method.

The black gambler looked at his cards again, and then followed with two million dollars.

The dealer turned over the third hole card, and Liu Wei still lost two million dollars, and still didn't look at the hole cards.

It seems that most people have expected Liu Wei to do this, so the exclamation is a little smaller. Only Kapuya was nervous, looked at Liu Wei, and cast an inquiring glance at the Mobei wolf.

"Mr. Capua, he knows what he's doing, trust him."

Mobei Wolf said this, but Capuya was not at ease at all. Now what he wants to know most is what kind of hole cards Liu Wei has taken.

Like him, almost all the spectators wanted to know what kind of hole cards Liu Wei had taken.

By this time, Mobei Wolf had also seen a little fame.

Liu Wei is not playing cool, but there is no need for this.

In the fourth round, Liu Wei continued to shout.

In the fifth round, the dealer had just turned over his hole cards, and Liu Wei studed.

This time, the crowd let out an exclamation, and it was louder than the previous ones.

Dare to stud without even looking at the hole cards, is it a madman, or a god?

Capua wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the Mobei wolf again.

Mobei Wolf smiled and said, "Mr. Capua, this is a sure win, it's just a matter of winning more and winning less." ”

At the table, the black gambler picked up his hole cards for the fifth time, looked at them carefully for a while, and then counted 15 million US dollars, ready to look at Liu Wei's hole cards.

Just when he was about to prepare for the stud, there was a scene with the surname of comedy.

The black gambler seemed to be electrocuted, shivered a few times, and threw two hole cards to the dealer to admit defeat.

“**！”

“**！”

“oh，mygod！”

…… The crowd immediately erupted, full of curses.

The black gambler admits defeat, and Liu Wei doesn't have to show his hole cards, so no one can know how big his hole cards are.

After throwing the hole cards to the dealer, Liu Wei glanced at the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor on the right, and then laughed.

Duplin is the host, and it is strange that he did not take advantage. Although the organizing committee has long announced that there is absolutely no monitoring equipment in the competition hall and no form of fraud is allowed, there must be a miniature headset in the ear of the black gambler, and there must be a master behind the scenes.

Liu Wei was silent for hundreds of times, just to clarify this issue.

Don't look at the hole cards, not to play tricks, but to make the other party unable to know his hole cards. As for the hole cards of black gamblers, Liu Wei has long seen them clearly.

From this moment on, the end of the black gambler was locked.

Two hours later, the black gambler lost his last chip and left the game in disgrace.

Interestingly, in the fifth round of several cards, the black gambler only looked at the hole cards once, and the result was that Liu Wei was three of a kind plus a pair, and he was also a pair of three and a pair, but three of a kind was smaller than Liu Wei and lost very miserably. On several other occasions, black gamblers gave up at the last minute.

When Liu Wei won, he had 70 million chips, which was 5 million more than Mobei Wolf.

For two hours, Kapuya was also frightened, and it was not until Liu Wei finally won that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Equally astonished were Duplin, as well as Fortuna, the "gold medal gambling king" of the "Taj Maha" hotel: a mysterious woman who wore toad glasses that covered most of her face at all times, and no one had ever seen her real face.

"Fortuna, is this the end of it?" Duplin was stunned and looked at Liu Wei, who had left victoriously.

"He's better than we thought." Fortuna walked over, her voice a little hoarse. "Mr. Duplin, you should pay more attention to the other person, otherwise I am not 100% sure of facing the two of them in the final."

"The other one?"

Fortuna nodded and glanced at the Mobei wolf who had left with Liu Wei. "This man will face Cosent when he enters the rematch, and he must be eliminated."

"What do I need to prepare?"

Fortuna smiled and said, "Under my guidance, he can't win against Cocent." It's just that two people advance to each round of the semi-finals, so the best thing to do is to keep him out of the competition. ”

"This ......," Duplin hesitated for a moment, "this is Atlantic City, if ......"

"Mr. Duplin, you're thinking too much."

Duplin seemed a little scared of the woman and didn't say anything more.

Fortuna glanced at the Mobei wolf who had already walked to the door, and showed a strange smile.

Returning victorious, Capua was in a good mood, not only set up a banquet to entertain Liu Wei and Mobei Wolf, but also called a few blonde and blue-eyed girls to accompany him. Mobei Wolf is a person who does not refuse, anyway, Iwasaki Fumiko is timid and afraid, and will never say anything to him. Liu Wei is not so unrestrained, he has little interest in the "Golden Retriever Lion King".

The next time, the two won again without danger.

Interestingly, this time the Mobei Wolves only won 40 million US dollars, and both opponents left the game voluntarily after losing 10 million.

With yesterday's performance, Liu Wei won more. The three guys who bet on him don't seem to believe in evil, and every time Liu Wei enters the fifth round, they will take money to see Liu Wei's hole cards. As a result, when the three of them left gloomily, Liu Wei won $60 million in front of him.

This is also the first "Grand Slam" since the start of the tournament.

The reason is the same, many gamblers who play the qualifying tournament can see that they can't win when they lose to a certain extent, so they will win less and take the initiative to get out.

Only those gamblers who participate with wild cards will fight to the end.

At the end of the preliminaries, six of the eight finalists were on wild cards.

Because of the need to adjust the layout of the arena, the game was suspended.

On this day, Liu Wei declined Capuya's kind invitation and called the Mobei wolf to go to the beach to bask in the sun.

"Do you know how many cards there are in this deck?"

Mobei Wolf glanced at the playing cards that Liu Wei took out and said, "Do you still need to ask?" ”

"Get rid of the big and small ghosts, fifty-two in total." Liu Wei began to shuffle the cards, "Theoretically, you can get 2,652 kinds of hole cards, and without knowing the opponent's hole cards, there are 254,251,200 permutations of five community cards." Now let me ask you, knowing the hole cards of the three opponents, how many other permutations of the community cards are there? ”

Mobei Wolf pondered for a moment and said, "There are more than 130 million species. ”

"To be exact, 13,320,960 permutations." Liu Wei smiled and said, "If it is reduced to three people, it will be 164,490,480 permutations, and if there are only two people, it will be 25,476,480 permutations." In other words, in the case of knowing the opponent's hole cards, the smaller the number of bettors, the more types of community cards will be arranged. If we don't know the opponent's hole cards, the variety of permutations will increase a lot. ”

Mobei Wolf nodded, indicating that he understood what Liu Wei meant.

"Now the question is, how quickly can you figure out the next card?"

"What do you mean......"

"In that game the day before yesterday, do you think I need to look at my hole cards?"

Mobei Wolf shook his head, he had already guessed it.

"Before we start, the dealer will have everyone check the cards, so we have the opportunity to remember the order in which the cards are arranged." Liu Wei picked up the playing cards and began to shuffle the cards, "Subsequently, the dealer will shuffle the cards." With our ability, we can see the process of shuffling the cards, and we can calculate the distribution of playing cards. Increasing the number of shuffles will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of calculations. Now you try it and see how much you can remember. ”

"You remembered it then?"

Liu Wei nodded, turned over the playing cards, first let Mobei Wolf see the cards clearly, and then turned them over and began to shuffle the cards.

The speed is not fast, mainly to give the Mobei wolf time to adapt. It's just that when he washed it for the third time, Mobei Wolf stopped.

"Can only remember three times?"

"Pretty much, if you concentrate, you should be able to add it twice."

"It's not enough, it's not enough."

"What do you mean?"

"Duprin must have a good guy under him, and based on the game the day before yesterday, that guy can remember the order after at least seven times."

"You mean ......"

"Let's practice." Liu Wei put down his playing cards and said, "The more you remember, the better, you will meet another guy sponsored by Duplin in the first round of the semi-finals." If you win, you will face me in the finals against the girl who directly enters the semi-finals, and the two of us can win by working together. ”
