When the two of them came to the lobby of the casino again, it was no longer the scene of three or five casual customers in the afternoon, and everything from slot machines to Russian roulette was surrounded by people. However, the casino still makes some distinctions for guests, and the games that can be played for one dollar are placed on the outermost, and the further you go inside, the higher the stakes required for those games.

With $10,000 in chips, Seryosha and Grigory walked straight to a 21-point table. The two found a place to sit down, and Seryosha asked the waiter for two drinks. A cup of tequila and a cup of yogurt, during these few days of contact, Seryosha has learned Grigory's preferences, yogurt is his favorite.

"Do both gentlemen want to participate?" The dealer standing in the middle of the table greeted.

"Yes!" Seryosha nodded, he put the chips on the table, and then divided them in half and took out the smallest one and put it on the betting area before going to the grigory. Grigory did the same.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, but the minimum bet here is $100!" The dealer looked at the chips on the table and did not deal the cards, but reminded Seryosha and Grigory that this is not a place where small bets can be placed.

Seryosha and Grigory hurriedly put down a $100 chip, and the game was finally ready to begin, with other guests at the table, and after the dealer dealt two cards to each of the participating gamblers, everyone had an open card and a hidden card. The dealer then waits for the gamblers to bet again before proceeding with the deal.

"Don't do it!" Grigory simply gave up the second round. Seryosha glanced at Grigory, this kid's demeanor has not changed, it is still so light and light, so Seryosha also followed him, Seryosha bet again, the third card quickly arrived in his hand, unfortunately he directly burst the pot.

The two quickly started the second and third games, and played like this game after game, and before they knew it, Seryosha had lost all their chips. When he looked at Grigori, he was surprised to find that Grigory had almost lost.

"What's wrong? Didn't work? Seryosha asked in a low voice.

"No, it's not time yet, I still need tens of thousands of chips to do it!" Grigory stared at the game and said to Seryosha.

"Tens of thousands?" Seryosha repeated with some surprise, do you know that this money is his own old capital, so he just threw it into the casino?

"Do you trust me?" Grigory looked at Seryosha seriously and asked seriously. His eyes were so calm, so sincere, as if he could see through Seryosha's heart, and Seryosha felt that he had a feeling of being touched.

The word trust simply went to Seryosha's heart, at the beginning in Lubyanka it was because he and Daddy Petrov trusted each other that he escaped from the clutches, and later in Gorky it was also because of trust that everyone was able to unite and defeat Gusinsky, and then in Pugman and because of his trust in Karim, Seryosha escaped death with her help. Trust has become the most important thing between people in Seryosha's heart.

Seryosha felt that he was a little too stingy, and Grigory's words made Seryosha feel a little ashamed, and he finally made up his mind in his heart. He met Grigory's eyes openly, took out the checkbook, solemnly wrote the number, and signed his signature. The two men did not leave the table, Seryosha stopped a waiter and handed him the check.

The waiter took the check, looked at the series of zeros on it, and asked in surprise, "Sir, how many chips do you want to exchange!" Seryosha looked at Grigory with a smile and said loudly: "$1 million, please help us all get here." Seryosha and Grigory looked at each other and smiled.

Soon, piles of large chips were carried by the waiters on plastic boxes, and many gamblers were attracted to them. Seryosha left the table, put all his chips in front of Grigory, and whispered in his ear: "All belongings, you're welcome!" Grigory smiled, turned to the table, picked up $10,000 in chips and placed them in the betting area.

After all the guests have placed their bets, the dealer begins to deal cards, again one face up and one face down, and Grigory's face up card is a 10.

"Which gentleman still wants to keep shooting?" The dealer just finished speaking. Grigory raised his hand and said, "Excuse me, blackjack!" After speaking, he showed the hidden card in his hand, which was an A, and according to the rules, the dealer had to pay double. The loss just now was won back, and Seryosha can rest assured now.

In this way, Seryosha began to witness Grigory's magnificent performance tonight as a spectator. In the rest of the game, Grigory began to lose less and win more, and the chips he earned back gradually increased, and the layers of people around the table let out exclamations from time to time.

An hour later, the casino's radio began to sound, "Congratulations to the guests of Table 22 for winning $1 million tonight!" There was a neat exclamation from the casino, and people flocked to table 22 to see who the guest was.

"Jimmy, take a break and let me entertain the guests." A middle-aged man with glasses said to the dealer at table 22, and the dealer named Jimmy walked off the table with a pale face, and the new dealer smiled confidently and began to serve Grigory. Grigori bet $100,000 first, and after getting two cards from the first round, Grigori bet another $100,000. After three rounds, Grigory had already placed $1 million on the table, and the new dealer handed Grigori a 6 with a trembling hand, and he knew what that meant. Grigory's hand appeared with a straight flush 6, 7, 8. At this point, there is no need to open any more cards, and if there are 6, 7, and 8 straight flushes on the board, the crop will lose 3 times the bet, regardless of the other cards. In other words, Grigori won 3 million with this hand.

The surrounding spectators were amazed by this scene, and even the veteran gamblers who had been in the casino for many years had never seen such a win as today. Grigory's winning chips filled half of the table, and the stakes on table 22 were so large that no one was playing here anymore, and Grigory was now facing only the dealer. The casino's risk control staff couldn't sit still, they never believed that anyone would be lucky like this, and there was only one explanation that this guy was an old man, and they had to expose this guy as soon as possible, otherwise the casino would have to pay a huge amount of money.
