VIP table 001, located in the center of the first row of the Golden Hall, is the most prominent position in the venue.

This table is bigger and more luxurious than all the others. The material is precious mahogany, and there are many ornate ornaments carved on it.

Ye Hao sat on a special dragon chair, one size larger than other gamblers' chairs, the back of the chair was high, and there were dragons and phoenixes carved on it, which looked very gorgeous and magnificent.

Ye Hao sat calmly on this dragon chair, waiting for the beautiful female dealer on the side to deal the cards.

Xiao Bai lay quietly next to Ye Hao's chair, occasionally turning his huge head and glancing at the other gamblers at this table.

The other five gamblers sitting around this table looked at Ye Hao with envy and jealousy, and a little uneasy.

What made them feel uneasy was not Ye Hao, but Xiao Bai lying next to Ye Hao.

Although Xiaobai is very quiet at the moment, those gamblers still feel nervous and afraid, and will secretly glance at Xiaobai from time to time, for fear that Xiaobai will suddenly jump up and bite them.

More than two meters behind Xiaobai, stood Mark and five other big men with loaded guns. Their task is to take care of Xiaobai and prevent Xiaobai from suddenly breaking out and hurting people. It is precisely because of their existence that these gamblers dare to sit in front of this table and gamble with Ye Hao.

Among the five gamblers, there are three wealthy people with a lot of money, and two professional gamblers.

Although they sat at the No. 001 VIP table with Ye Hao, their identities were actually very ordinary, and they were not the most noble among the contestants this time, and their gambling skills were not the most powerful. Qian Weihao secretly did a lot of tricks and tricks, arranging super-rich people like Ye Hao on different gambling tables, and the players who equipped them with these tables were not very skilled gambling players.

Qian Weihao did this to try to ensure that those super-rich people can gamble happily and successfully advance to tomorrow's semi-finals.

While waiting for the female dealer to deal the cards, Ye Hao took out his mobile phone and began to chat with the fans in the live broadcast room.

As soon as the female dealer saw Ye Hao playing with her mobile phone, she hurriedly reminded,

"Ye Dong, I must remind you that according to the rules of the competition, you can use your mobile phone, but you are not allowed to take photos and videos!"

"Isn't it okay to use your mobile phone to chat with netizens?"

Ye Hao said with a smile.

"It's okay to chat, but it's not allowed to take photos and videos!"

The female dealer emphasized again.

"Hehe, got it!"

Ye Hao snorted and continued to fiddle with his phone.

He didn't use his phone's camera for live broadcasting, but used the system's built-in camera function for live broadcasting. That way, the people at the casino won't know he's doing a live stream.

"Wocao, Emperor Trench, are you participating in the World Gambling King Tournament?"

Many fans in the live broadcast room asked excitedly.

"Hey, you guessed it! It's the preliminary round, and I've just arrived, waiting for the dealer to deal the cards!"

Ye Hao said with a smile.

"People who dare to come to participate in the World Gambling King Contest are all masters, right?

Fans kindly reminded.

"It's okay, brother's luck is very good!"

Ye Hao said.

The other five gamblers at the same table felt very unhappy when they saw that Ye Hao had been chatting with his mobile phone, and he didn't look at them at all.

"Grass, what kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending to? Wait a while Lao Tzu wins all your money, and see if you are still in the mood to chat!"

A white-bellied gambler cursed in a low voice.

At this point, the first game of gambling begins.

This year's World Gambling Championship adopts the unrestricted Texas Hold'em gameplay. According to the rules of this tournament, the minimum blinds before the cards are dealt are $40 and $20, respectively, but there is no upper limit. Once the cards are dealt, gamblers are free to place bets, and there is no upper limit on the amount of bets in a single game.

Robbie, the white-richest man in the Eagle Country, happened to be the big blind in this game, and Chen Afei, a professional gambler on the island of Aodao, who was sitting on his left hand side, was the small blind.

On the left side of Chen Afei, there are North African tycoon Camaji, Malay professional gambler Hassan, Ye Hao from Huaxia, and South American billionaire Rubio.

Because this was the first game, Robbie and Chen were conservative, only posting standard blinds of $40 and $20 respectively.

After they have placed the blinds, the female dealer starts to hand everyone.

The starting hand of Texas Hold'em is a total of two cards, which only the gambler himself can see, and others cannot see, so it is also called "hole cards".

"After you have seen the hole cards, you can bet in turn! In this competition, each guest's initial chips are one million US dollars, and there is no upper limit on the bet in a single game, until you lose everything!"

The female dealer said in a pleasant voice.

"Long-winded, we already know this, no need to talk nonsense!"

Robbie muttered and picked up his two hole cards from the table.

He glanced at it quickly, then put the two hole cards back on the table.

"Haha, Lao Tzu's luck is good today!"

Robbie had an excited smile on his face.

In fact, his hole cards are extremely bad, just a 2 of clubs and a 5 of squares.

Robbie is an old gambler, and he knows that Texas Hold'em is actually a mental game, and he pays attention to deception, so he pretends to be very happy.

Chen Afei glanced at Robbie expressionlessly, and then gently lifted the corner of his two hole cards and glanced at it quickly.

His hole cards were very good, an ace of spades and a queen of spades.

Chen Ah Fei re-deducted his hole cards, and after two seconds of silence, he silently took out two $10 small chips and placed them on his small blind.

He was a small blind and had just bet $20 in chips. If he's going to keep playing, he'll have to at least stay in line with Robbie's $40 big blind.

When Robbie saw Chen Afei follow, he immediately said with a hippie smile,

"Hey, it looks like your hole cards are pretty good!"

Chen Afei was silent, and he didn't seem to hear Robbie talking to him at all.

Indifferent gamblers like Chen Afei are also common in casinos, so Robbie didn't mind, and continued to greet the North African tycoon Camaji sitting on Chen Afei's left with a hippie smile.

"Kamaji, we haven't seen each other for a long time, the last time we saw you was in the Sun City casino in South Africa, right?"

Robbie Road.

"Well, that time, I won you more than 10 million dollars!"

Kamaji smiled sinisterly.

Camagi's hole cards are not very good, but they are still much stronger than Robbie's, with a 10 of squares and a queen of clubs.

After glancing at his hole cards, he casually threw $40 in chips on the table.

"Uh...... Last time, my attention was taken away by the little girl you brought, so you took advantage of it. This time, you have to be careful!"

Robbie pursed his lips and turned his attention to Hassan, a professional Malay gambler who should bet next.

"Hey, you yellow-skinned guy, what country are you from, and why haven't I seen you before?"

Robbie said arrogantly.

"Mr. Robbie, I am a Malay, and it is my first time to participate in the World Gambling Championship!"

Hassan said with a humble smile.

"Is that a country? ha!"

Robbie laughed out loud.

"Ahem, Mr. Robbie, although our Malay country is an island country in the Pacific Ocean, it is actually not a small land area, much larger than the area of your Eagle Country!"

Hassan said with a smile.

"Yes, I thought the islands in the Pacific Ocean were full of monkeys!

Robbie laughed unbridled again.
