Ace of the Dragon Division Chapter 272.2 - Gottem (Part two)

Chapter 272: Gottem (Part two)

When it was Jack’s turn, he indulged for a second. Now, he had a pair of 5s and then a 6 and 8. He could bet that the last face-up card would be a 5 for a triple! If it was not a 5, as long as it was another 6 and 7, he could have two pairs. Looking at the other two, Stephen and Xu Cheng’s hands definitely wouldn’t have a straight. They would at most have pairs, so he still had a good chance of winning.

So, he pushed in another pile of chips as well. “I call.”

Xu Cheng also did. “Continue.”

Then, he said to Lin Lei, “See if my money has arrived to my account. If yes, then exchange it all into chips.”

Lin Lei nodded and went out. Not long after, he pushed in the cart full of chips, and there were so much that the two pros couldn’t help but swallow their spittle. If they could win this time, they could probably get a hefty dividend out of the deal.

The dealer dealt the last face-up card.

Xu Cheng: A (Face-down: A, 2; Face-up: 2, 7, A)

Stephen: 3 (Face-down: J, 6; Face-up: J, J, 3)

Jack: 8 (Face-down: 5, 5; Face-up: 6, 7, 8)

When Jack got the last card, he only wanted to swear. Now, he couldn’t get a straight, nor could he get a triple, and the biggest hand he had was actually just a pair of 5s! He really wanted to vomit blood, but he was a pro after all, and he had to maintain his cool in a situation like this. Frankly, with the 6, 7, and 8 on the surface, he could definitely bluff.

At least when Stephen saw Jack getting that 8, he also felt happy for Jack. If Jack had a straight, then his triple definitely wouldn’t stand a chance.

The dealer looked at Xu Cheng. “Ace, speak.”

Xu Cheng put in another 50 million. “I raise.”

When it was Jack’s turn, he laughed and said to Xu Cheng, “If I were you, I would fold. You would at most have a pair of Ace, why are you still trying?”

Xu Cheng shrugged. “I have the money, so I do whatever I want.”

Jack put in another 50 million as well. “I follow.”

Stephen laughed and said, “I don’t believe that he has a pair of Aces. As long as he doesn’t, then just my face-up cards with a pair of Js can beat you. So, I follow!”

Tsk tsk* Xu Cheng asked Lin Lei, “How much is in the prize pool now?”

Lin Lei: “510 million.”

Xu Cheng nodded. “Then I will raise 100 million to reveal one of Mr. Jack’s cards.”

Jack was secretly quite happy. “Hahaha, I’m bluffing, and even if you don’t want to, I would want to reveal one of my cards to let you see.”

Seeing Xu Cheng throwing in a hundred million, he smiled and flipped one of his face-down cards: 5. (Current face-up cards: 5, 6, 7, 8)

He grinned: “Mr. Xu is indeed a good gambler.”

Xu Cheng sneered and thought, I’m doing this on purpose, you dumb-ss, I know that’s a 5, but you just don’t have a straight. However, if you don’t flip that one over, how is Stephen going to fold? I’m using you to get your friend out, you dumb-ss!

When it was Stephen’s turn and he saw Jack’s 5, 6, 7, and 8, in fact, he didn’t think Jack was bluffing or he would’ve received some kind of signal, so even though he had 3 jacks, he still folded.

The moment he folded, Xu Cheng couldn’t help but laugh.

Jack looked at him and asked, “What are you laughing about?”

Xu Cheng lit himself a cigarette, and he still couldn’t hold in his laughter and accidentally choked on the smoke and coughed. “Too pro, what a pro!”

Jack thought he was sincerely praising him, he was still feeling quite satisfied. “Is Mr. Xu still following?”

Xu Cheng kept on laughing and even his stomach was hurting a bit. His heart “ached” for Stephen. If Stephen knew that Jack faked him out with just a pair of 5s, he might even kill Jack.

“I raise, 100 million!” Xu Cheng took a puff of the cigarette and said.

Jack narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, Doesn’t this guy know that there’s a great chance that I have a straight? Normally, if someone sees 5, 6, 7, and 8 as face-up cards, pros wouldn’t take the risk to gamble that. Like Stephen, even he folded.

At that moment, Xu Cheng tried to play them even more and deliberately asked Lin Lei in English. “That 5, 6, 7, and 8, is that a big hand?”

Lin Lei was speechless. “If he just gets a 4 or a 9, then that’s a straight! Even if you have triple aces, you still can’t win.”

Xu Cheng: “Holy f-ck, that big?”

Hearing Xu Cheng’s words, he felt even more excited: Indeed, this guy actually doesn’t know anything. I thought he saw through my bluff, then now I really have to suppress him with confidence.

Jack: “In that case, I raise 200 million!”
