167: Empty Fort Strategy 167: Empty Fort Strategy “This guy’s really lucky.”
Seeing Jiang Chen decisively go all-in, she couldn’t help but murmur, yet Zheng Jingjing felt a sense of relief inside.
It was obvious.
Even knowing that Sun Xiyu had a flush and still daring to make such a bold bet, an idiot would know what his hidden card was.
One hundred percent a Q!
Three fives with a pair of Qs, a full house, Sun Xiyu’s flush was dood!
“Jin Jin, is Jiang Chen going to win?”
Guo Ran was breathing rapidly.
“Yes.”
Zheng Jingjing nodded, looking towards the pile of shiny coins in the betting pool.
That’s more than eight hundred thousand!
How long would it take to earn that much money after graduation from working?
Three years?
Or five years?
But here, it was just the ti it takes to drink a cup of tea.
“Young Master Sun, I’m all-in.”
Jiang Chen looked towards Sun Xiyu, the rest of the unspoken half-sentence undoubtedly being, “What about you?”
If he smoked, this mont would have been perfect to light up a cigarette, making his deanor even more dashing.
All eyes naturally shifted from Jiang Chen to Sun Xiyu.
At this mont, although the two bottom cards were still covered, it was almost like an open hand.
Jiang Chen had a Q, Sun Xiyu had a heart.
Full house versus flush.
Who would win and who would lose was self-evident.
Born into a family of rchants, Sun Xiyu was well aware of the basic weighing of pros and cons.
“I fold.”
Suppressing his frustration, he smiled gracefully, lightly covering all his cards.
No one was surprised.
If anyone else had been in his position, they would have made the sa decision, unless soone’s brain was rusty.
If there were to bla.
It was only because the kid was too lucky.
He got a full house on the first hand.
“I appreciate your kindness.”
Jiang Chen stood up, his smile as refreshing as a breeze in spring, unhesitatingly collecting all the coins from the round to his side.
In an instant, his capital had doubled, surpassing one million!
Sun Xiyu appeared nonchalant, but Zhong Yongfeng, wearing an earring, had a slightly gloomy look in his smile.
Four players losing to one, that was truly embarrassing.
But there was nothing that could be done; at the gambling table, one could never contend with luck.
However, good fortune never lingers on one person forever.
“Let’s start the next round.”
Zhong Yongfeng watched Jiang Chen, who was elated, and gave a cold laugh.
Kid, the real show is yet to co.
The others also waited for the second round to begin.
“Really lucky, to get a full house on the very first hand.”
With a smile on his face, Jiang Chen flipped over his bottom card, preparing to give it back to Li Shuru.
Knowing for sure that he had a full house, Sun Xiyu glanced indifferently, then his expression suddenly froze, and even with his self-control, his complexion involuntarily changed for a mont.
“Damn!
You…”
Zhong Yongfeng couldn’t control his emotions and angrily slapped the table, standing up.
“How is it an A?”
Zheng Jingjing’s eyes widened, stunned where she stood.
Looking at that glaring crimson diamond A, everyone was shocked and dumbfounded, their expectations shattered.
This kid’s bottom card wasn’t a Q!
Which ant, he only had a set of threes, just like them!
He actually scared away the flush.
Huzi’s mouth twitched, “Brother, that’s so courage.”
“Eh, wasn’t my hole card a Q?
How did it turn into an A?”
Seeing his own hole card as an A, Jiang Chen himself seed incredibly incredulous, then he gave an apologetic smile with a hint of embarrassnt.
“Sorry, my mistake.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
The spacious private room fell silent as a tomb.
Xu Siyi watched Jiang Chen’s impressively convincing expression and the corners of her mouth curled slightly.
This guy, he really does like playing the pig to eat the tiger.
Q and A look nothing alike.
How could he possibly mistake them?
It was blatantly obvious.
Even though he knew he only had three of a kind, he bluffed as if he had a full house, and managed to scare Sun Xiyu into folding, successfully deceiving everyone present.
If he hadn’t deliberately revealed his hole card, nobody would have guessed he was bluffing.
But that’s gambling for you.
What’s not forbidden is allowed.
As long as you’re not cheating, winning money is a testant to your skill.
Everyone’s gaze towards Jiang Chen turned exceedingly strange.
Especially Sun Xiyu, who felt like there was a stone lodged in his chest, yet he had to maintain a magnanimous deanor.
He gestured for Zhong Yongfeng to sit down, looking at Jiang Chen, “Young Master Jiang, well played.”
Even with his composure, his smile couldn’t help but appear forced at this mont.
Jiang Chen smiled sheepishly, passing the cards back to Li Shuru.
“Next ti I’ll make sure to look at the cards clearly.”
Everyone fell silent.
Kid, don’t get smug, whatever you’ve swallowed, I’ll make you spit it out just the sa!
Zhong Yongfeng’s gaze was icy as he sat back down.
“You won so much money just by looking at the cards wrong?”
Guo Ran was in a daze.
“Don’t listen to his nonsense, he clearly didn’t misread them but pretended to.
Who would have thought this guy could act so well; I really underestimated him before.”
Zheng Jingjing, who had initially thought Jiang Chen would lose quickly and disastrously, had now gained so faith in him.
From a broader perspective, of course, she still hoped Jiang Chen would win.
Previously this possibility was minuscule, but now, it seed not so far-fetched.
Li Shuru shuffled the poker cards.
The second round began.
Having learned from what happened earlier, everyone understood this kid might be a master; they no longer took him lightly.
In the following rounds, Jiang Chen seed to have exhausted all his luck with that first bluff, and the hands he got were barely satisfactory.
However, he played it safe; when he had bad cards, he decisively folded, no longer daring to push his luck with a “bluff within a bluff.”
After seven or eight rounds, everyone had their wins and losses, with Jiang Chen being the biggest winner.
He maintained around a hundred chips, and the other four players shared the money he won, with the stakes not being too high.
“Buddy, this ti you shouldn’t be throwing your cards away, huh?”
Zhong Yongfeng looked at Jiang Chen with a dark expression.
Of course, he wanted revenge, but this kid was too slippery—if his hand wasn’t good, he’d just fold without giving anyone a chance.
But this round of cards, folding again would seem a bit unreasonable.
At this point, the cards on the table were sowhat peculiar, and what’s rare is that all five players had followed through to the last round.
Jiang Chen’s hand showed the Ace of Hearts, King of Hearts, Queen of Hearts, and Jack of Hearts, with the hole card unknown.
Sun Xiyu’s hand included the Ten of Spades, Ten of Diamonds, Nine of Spades, and Nine of Diamonds, with the hole card unknown.
Zhong Yongfeng’s hand had the Jack of Clubs, Ten of Clubs, Nine of Clubs, and Eight of Clubs, with the hole card unknown.
Huzi’s hole cards were the Six of Spades, Six of Hearts, Six of Diamonds, and Five of Hearts, with the hole card unknown.
The necklace-rich kid had the Queen of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds, Seven of Diamonds, and Two of Diamonds, with the hole card unknown.
Jiang Chen very likely had a royal flush.
Sun Xiyu had a hand similar to Jiang Chen’s first round, which could very likely be a full house.
Zhong Yongfeng might also have a straight flush.
Huzi could have either a full house or four of a kind.
The necklace-rich kid’s hand was likely a flush.
Jiang Chen, who had the King of Hearts, held the right to speak in this round.
