Chapter 569: A Good Start (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Tickets)
Ji Cheng's momentum is like a rainbow. The major media outlets were also in an uproar. As soon as the game ended in the morning, news reports came out one after another.
"Jishen is not in good shape? Iron Warrior Training Justin. Bomoruo! "Horror of the River! The decisive battle at the pinnacle of the season god only needs one card!
"Top Master Showdown: Ji Cheng Swept Again and Successfully Advanced! "The first strongest player in the history of Texas Hold'em was born, and the season god extreme reading card Bomo Ruo collapsed".
Three. Five articles. Twenty articles. Almost all of the competitive sports media is reporting like crazy. The morning of the semi-finals on the sixth day of the charity game week was too dramatic, from the beginning when Ji Cheng entered the door and fell and was considered to be in poor condition, to sitting at the table and quickly exerting force, sweeping and eliminating five players in just one and a half hours, including the world's top player Justin. Bo Moruo, Ji Cheng's strong strength caused an uproar in the outside world.
Texas Hold'em fans who saw the news were shocked.
"Hey, this is Ji Shen's strength?"
"This is the semi-final, who can enter the semi-finals will be weak? At least they are all professional players, but even so, they still don't have the slightest power to parry in the face of Ji Cheng? ”
"The strength of the semi-finalists is not comparable to those amateurs and semi-professionals in the qualifiers, Ji Cheng is still easily swept away?"
"Ji Shen is really awesome!"
"The first person in the world!"
"Yes, Ji Shen is definitely the number one in the world!" A crowd of Texas Hold'em lovers were amazed.
Of course, there are those who oppose it.
"Ji Cheng is very powerful, but it's too early to say that he is the first person in the world, right?"
"It's like, first of all, he hasn't played a professional game, he doesn't have points, and he doesn't have a bonus accumulation, okay, even if he has a bonus accumulation this charity gambling week, how much has he accumulated now? It's only 17 or 8 million if you die, and you still boast of being the first in the world? ”
"Unless he wins the first place in this charity gambling week, I will recognize him as the number one in the world!" A group of little sunspots just don't approve.
Ji Cheng's fans immediately fought back.
"Ahh
"What do you deserve to be recognized by the god of the season?"
"on yourself!" And then...... Well, the two sides are crazy about spraying each other in the comment areas of major online media, and the Internet is like that.
Originally, it was difficult to distinguish the winner from each other, but a happy thing broke the balance. The reason for the incident was that one of the main forces of the Xiaohezi team probably sprayed each other too fiercely and forgot to cut the account, and accidentally posted a photo with Ji Cheng on his personal homepage, with text: At the scene, taking a photo with Ji Shen is really exciting!
Although he quickly found out and deleted it. But Ji Cheng's fans noticed it immediately, and took screenshots and forwarded them wildly as soon as possible.
"Hahaha, I'm laughing to death."
"The little black man will only hack on the Internet, and when he sees Ji Shen himself, he immediately becomes like a good baby!"
"Hey, it turns out that Xiao Heizi is such a person, Ji Shen is devalued on the Internet, and in real life, I saw Ji Shen himself kneeling and begging for a group photo?"
"Poof, it turns out that there are our undercover agents inside the enemy!" The little black man, who was spraying vigorously, suddenly withered when he saw this screenshot.
Ji Cheng's fans took advantage of the victory to chase after and laughed wildly at the little blacks.
"If you have the ability to win the championship, let's talk about it!"
"Yes, it's all in vain if you don't win the championship!" In the end, the little blacks couldn't stand it anymore, and they disappeared one by one with a cruel word.
Everyone understands that this kind of lurking is short-lived, and if Ji Cheng is eliminated by poor performance next, this group of people will jump out again.
"Don't worry, Ji Shen will definitely win the championship!"
"Isn't it easy to win the championship with the strength of Ji Shen?"
"You still have to think about how to delete the comments after the season god wins the championship!"
"Ji Shen is mighty!" But Ji Cheng's fans don't care, because they have achieved this online spraying war.
One by one, they cheered on the Internet. …… Ji Cheng, who was far away at the Las Vegas game, didn't have time to pay attention to the situation on the Internet.
At this moment, he was accompanying Caroline, who had just woken up. Rockefeller has lunch too. In the restaurant. Caroline. Rockefeller looked at Ji Cheng tenderly, cut the beef absentmindedly, and said, "Ji, you are so good." Ji Cheng thought she was talking about last night, so he blinked and said, "I'll go to you tonight and promise to be better." ”
"I'm not talking about that." Caroline. Rockefeller cried and laughed: "I mean, you almost didn't sleep all night last night, and you can still play so well, I have a little doubt that you are a robot as everyone says." Ji Cheng took a sip of red wine, tasted it in his mouth, and said with a flamboyant tongue: "That's because the nourishment of love makes me feel brave, and it's your credit." "Carolyn. Rockefeller was laughed at by him,
"Poof, you're interesting." The two chatted while eating. In a short time, a meal is finished. Ji Cheng looked at the watch time,
"It's almost, the draw should come out, I have to go and see which table I've gotten, and then get to the game early, don't be late like in the morning."
"Wait!" Caroline. Rockefeller stood up and grabbed him. Ji Cheng looked over and wondered, "What's wrong?" "Carolyn. Rockefeller picked up a napkin and wiped the corner of his mouth,
"Got the sauce." After wiping, she reached out and stroked Ji Cheng's tie again, and gave a teasing look,
"Come to me at night."
"Okay, baby." Ji Cheng turned around and left. …… Return to the Wayne Hotel. Before he walked in, Ji Cheng saw a large group of people staring at the big screen to draw lots.
The distance is a bit far and I can't see clearly. He walked over without hurrying. As soon as they got closer, there was a wailing sound from the crowd.
"God, why are you so cruel? Want to bring me and the seasons together? It was a middle-aged black man who spoke.
Next to Tom. Dewan gloated: "Ivey, don't you know how to recognize the card?" I heard that Ji Cheng has a memory of images, and he can also remember what the suit of each card is, and you two meet just right together to see who has the better skills. "Ivey?
Pattern recognition? When Ji Cheng heard this, he immediately thought of someone, Phil. Ivey, who is one of the world's top poker players, is rumored to have the skill of recognizing cards.
Anyone who knows poker knows that all cards greater than 9 will be very subtle differences from other cards, of course, not all experts can tell what this card is. Ivey was able to do this with his natural powers of observation, and even won $12.4 million in four hands at the Crockford Casino.
Four hands won $12.4 million! To put it mildly, if Ji Cheng's cards are not very good, he may not be able to do it, after all, his real strength is to rely on knowing the opponent's hand in advance and the next public cards, and he is not very proficient in gambling.
And Phil. Ivey's texture recognition technology is not as good as Ji Cheng's perception enhancement, he can only judge what the cards above 9 are, but he can win more than 10 million dollars with four cards, so it can only show one thing, this person's own gambling skills are very superb.
Yes, Phil. Ivey is indeed the best player in the world, he has won ten World Series of Poker bracelets, you can imagine how strong, but his ten bracelets have nothing to do with Texas Hold'em, only two of them are obtained through Pot Limit Omaha events.
This is a noteworthy opponent. Ji Cheng took a deep look at Phil. Ivey, in his opinion, this and himself has almost
"Same" ability of the opponent, than Tom. Dewan, Chris. Ferguson and others are more difficult to deal with, of course, he can also use this person's past experience to analyze the weakness, that is, the big game is easy to lose the mentality, otherwise there would not be a Texas Hold'em bracelet without a single gold bracelet, the only time he almost got it was in the 2012 $10,000 buy-in pot limit Texas event to reach the finals, and finally lost, such a high-stakes event like no-limit, did not win a single one.
So, Ji Cheng probably knows how to win Phil. Ivy. Immediately, he looked at the big screen and found that he had been assigned to table number one, and his opponents at the table were not only Phil. In addition to Ivey, the world's top poker master, there are two acquaintances, namely former world champion Greg and Aurora, the strongest underground female gambling god in Latin America.
As for Susie and several other people who have played against the Taj Mahal casino before, they may have been eliminated in the morning game or qualifiers.
In addition to these three, the other two opponents are not very easy to deal with. One is Asia's top poker master, Sisi Lee, and the other is Dan. Bizzerien, who once won the Pretty National Poker Championship, is not as strong as Phil. Ivey and the others are so powerful, but they should not be underestimated.
…… Two o'clock in the afternoon. The second round of the semi-finals has officially begun! Ji Cheng's table has very high chips.
At present, Ji Cheng ranks first at the table with a total chip of 18,647,570 US dollars.
The second place, unsurprisingly, was none other than Phil. Ivey, with a total chip value of $1,0433,200.
The third place was a bit of a surprise, it was not Greg but Li Sisi, with a total chip amount of 9,362,100 US dollars.
Fourth place went to Greg with a total chip of $9,217,650. In fifth place went to Aurora with a total of $8,938,140.
Sixth place goes to Dan. Bizerrian, with a total chip value of $8,793,950.
The total chips of the six men combined amounted to $65,392,610! It's not the most than six tables, but it's amazing!
Ji Cheng looked at the five opponents, his heart was full of hot fighting intent, as long as he defeated these five opponents, he could advance to the finals!
A black referee in his fifties came up and explained the rules: "The game is going to start right away, I'm going to tell you some of the rules, first, if you fold face down and think everyone else has folded and you've won the pot, and you get it wrong, then the responsibility is on you...... The player's time to think has been reduced by a full ten seconds, from one minute to fifty seconds...... Don't communicate in any language other than English...... "It's basically those rules, which are designed to prevent collusion and cheating, and some are calls, anti-raises, and dozens of them."
Because you've been playing for days, you're actually familiar with these rules.
Soon, the bell rings, and the semi-finals to the finals begin! The audience on the periphery was nervous.
"Here we go!"
"Only six people will make it to the finals!"
"Whew, I don't know if Ji Cheng can make the cut."
"Haha, do you need to say that? He's so strong, he's sure to be able to advance. ”
"It's hard to say, this time he has a table full of masters, and the chips are all more than eight million dollars, and the game time is only three hours, I feel that this time it will be difficult."
"Tom. As the world's No. 1 person in the cash flow competition, Dewan will definitely have no problem advancing to the finals! ”
"I'm optimistic that Danniu will be the first to advance!" The audience kept talking and supporting their favorite players.
Caroline. Rockefeller also came, sitting in the VIP seat and whispering to the female assistant about the game. Ji Cheng at the table naturally couldn't hear what the audience was talking about, he had just gotten his hand and was using perceptual enhancement to check the hands of several other opponents.
Himself is a jack of diamonds and a 9 of spades. Phil. Ivey has a pair of aces, which are diamonds and clubs.
Li Sisi has two spades, 10 and 5. Greg is a pair of 3s, hearts and spades, which are not bad.
Aurora is an 8 of hearts and a 9 of clubs. Cinnabar. Bizzerien's hand is a king of hearts and a 6 of diamonds.
The three community cards in the first round were the 9 of hearts, the 6 of hearts and the 2 of diamonds, the turn was the jack of spades, and the king of the river.
Ji Cheng looked at the game he had won, and decided to take this good hand with Phil. Ivey plays, and as for the others, it should be no surprise that he should fold, except for Greg, who may be a bit variable.
"Fold the card." Li Sisi threw the card. Aurora thought about it and threw the cards,
"I also gave up." Cinnabar. Bizelian didn't hesitate to throw the cards away. Greg thought for a moment,
"Ten thousand dollars." Ji Cheng performed a little in the small blind position, pretending to hesitate for a while, and then said, "Come on." "Phil. Ivey got a pair of aces and played fiercely,
"Fifty thousand." He directly raised the chips by a big cut! Greg didn't even think about folding. Ji Cheng followed expressionlessly and did not take the initiative to raise.
The audience was talking.
"Ji Cheng's hand is not very good, still follow?"
"Did you watch him play cards on the first day?"
"He often makes the turn to really make a difference."
"That's right, I guess he has the confidence to win." While the audience was chatting, the first round of community cards were issued, which were the same as what Ji Cheng had seen before using perceptual enhancement, which were 9 of hearts, 6 of hearts, and 2 of diamonds.
Phil. Ivy smiled at Ji Cheng and threw another $50,000 in chips onto the table. Ji Cheng was still racing his acting skills, and he waited until the time to think before calling.
The dealer deals the turn, which is the Jack of Spades. This time it was Ji Cheng's turn to call, he pretended to hesitate for a while, then took a deep breath and patted the table to check the cards.
In fact, at this time, he got two pairs, and the opponent only had a pair of aces, which could make a big bet. It's just that Ji has become more chips to deceive the other party, and deliberately chose to check.
Something unexpected happened, Phil. Ivey showed an inexplicable smile towards Ji Cheng, and then folded!
The audience cheered.
"Ji Cheng won!"
"That's amazing!"
"I won more than 200,000 pots in the first hand!" Although Ji Cheng couldn't hear what the audience was shouting, he saw Wang Xu and others dancing in the audience in the distance, and knew that he was celebrating winning the first hand.
It stands to reason that winning the opening kicker is indeed worth celebrating, but he frowned. This Phil. Ivey does know how to look at cards as rumored.
It stands to reason that these community cards on the table are difficult to make into three-of-a-kind, two-pair, straight, and flush. Ivey has a pair of aces, plus Ji Cheng checked, is a personal should raise, even if not raise, even look at the river is not a big problem, but Phil. Ivey folded.
Then there is only one possibility, Phil. Ivey knew that Ji Cheng's hand was a j and a 9, and he knew that he would lose if he continued, so he folded.
Ji Cheng narrowed his eyes, and sure enough, it was the same as he guessed, Phil. Ivey is very difficult to entangle, and it seems that he has to use some small means, otherwise it will be difficult to defeat this guy.
