447: Chapter 447: Flush or Twist?
What?
Five hundred thousand!
Jia Mingliang’s pupils shrank, and his gaze towards Ye Xuan was filled with shock and doubt.
This kid was just cowering like a turtle, not even daring to follow his fifty thousand, so why is he suddenly raising so much?
Could it be that he’s got a good hand?
Furrowing his brows tightly, Jia Mingliang beca cautious.
He glanced at Ye Xuan’s cards, a nine of hearts and a three of diamonds with an unclear hole card, but if Ye Xuan dared to bet so big, he must have sothing to rely on, perhaps a pair.
However, his cards weren’t strong, likely not a high pair, but two pairs were still a possibility!
If it was two pairs, he would need to be careful.
He looked at his own cards, a king of clubs and a jack of hearts, and the two hole cards were a seven of hearts and a four of hearts!
The hand wasn’t bad.
With a bit of luck, he could even get a straight flush.
Damn it!
I’ll follow, I don’t believe this kid has two pairs.
Jia Mingliang gritted his teeth and pushed out five hundred thousand in chips, saying, “I’ll follow, five hundred thousand!”
No matter what, even if Ye Xuan really had two pairs, he had to follow this round.
It was a live broadcast now, and everyone in the hall was watching.
Just now, he had been mocking Ye Xuan and making tough statents.
If he didn’t follow now, wouldn’t he just be a joke?
At this point, the croupier continued to deal, pushing out the fifth card to each player.
Ye Xuan’s card was the jack of clubs, while Jia Mingliang’s was the six of hearts—another heart!
Seeing this heart card, Jia Mingliang smiled with glee.
Now he had four hearts.
If he got one more, he could secure a straight flush and instantly defeat Ye Xuan!
And with two more hole cards to go, the odds were fifty percent that he could get another heart card.
At this mont, Ye Xuan’s hand was quite scattered: a nine of hearts, a three of diamonds, and a jack of clubs.
Other than a pair, he could only hope for a three-of-a-kind, no match for a straight flush.
Haha!
Just give one more heart, and I’m certain to win!
Jia Mingliang laughed inwardly, looking smugly at Ye Xuan, and taunted, “Your hand doesn’t look very good, huh?
Five hundred thousand, are you still in?”
“Of course, I’m in.
Raise to one million!”
Ye Xuan smiled slightly and doubled the chips, teasing Jia Mingliang, “Young Master Jia, don’t be too confident.
Flushes aren’t that easy to get.
Don’t trip over yourself and end up with a pair of twists.”
“Hmph, sweet talker!
You must be getting nervous, right?”
Jia Mingliang snorted coldly, a sneer curling at his lips, not taking Ye Xuan’s words to heart, and equally pushed out one million in chips: “I’m in!”
“Hehe, Young Master Jia truly has the guts of a nobleman.”
Ye Xuan chuckled and gave a thumbs-up, then nudged his chin at the croupier: “Deal the cards!”
The sixth card!
Ye Xuan got an eight of diamonds, while Jia Mingliang not a heart this ti, but a five of spades.
Looking at his hand, Jia Mingliang’s brows furrowed.
The situation seed a bit tricky; the last card had to be a heart!
While thinking, he glanced at Ye Xuan’s cards and his tightly knit brows relaxed a bit—it was still a scattered hand, it seed the other’s luck wasn’t any better.
There was still hope for him!
“Heh heh, Young Master Jia, I told you flushes aren’t so easy to get.
How about it, turning into twists yet?”
Ye Xuan said with a gleeful smile, then provocatively added, “Young Master Jia, if I were you, I’d fold now!
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointnt.
Don’t end up missing the flush and take a huge fall instead.
Folding early could an losing less.”
“I don’t need your instruction!”
Jia Mingliang said impatiently, “Enough talk!
Are you following or not?”
“Of course I’ll follow, I’ll raise to one million one hundred and fifty thousand!”
Ye Xuan said nonchalantly, doubling the chips to reach one million five hundred thousand!
Including the chips from the previous rounds, he had now bet three million in this ga.
Seeing Ye Xuan increase the bet by five hundred thousand again, Jia Mingliang showed a hint of hesitation.
At this mont, he only had one card left, and the chance of drawing a heart was only one in four!
That is, he had a twenty-five percent chance of getting a straight flush.
The odds weren’t great, so should he take the bet?
Jia Mingliang struggled with the decision, unable to make up his mind.
“Master Jia, do you know why I told you to fold without a fight?”
Ye Xuan smiled slyly, exuding an air of unfathomable depth, “Because my sixth sense is very accurate, and when I have a premonition, it almost always cos true!
This ti, I have a feeling that you’re going to lose, so you might as well just fold and stop dreaming of that straight flush.”
Of course, Ye Xuan was provoking Jia Mingliang, trying to make him keep following!
However, this was just a little spice to add so fun to the gamble.
Whether Jia Mingliang decided to follow with more chips or not didn’t affect Ye Xuan at all; the outco was already destined!
It was only a matter of how much he would win.
For Jia Mingliang, however, the decision was now a tough one.
If he folded now, the one million five hundred thousand he had bet before would be gifted to Ye Xuan!
On the other hand, if he continued to follow, there was a chance to get a straight flush and thrash Ye Xuan, taking away his three million in chips!
But of course, there was also the possibility of not getting the straight flush, which would an losing three million.
To call or not to call?
Initially, Jia Mingliang was indecisive, but after hearing Ye Xuan’s mocking words, he hardened his heart!
Damn it, I’m betting!
I’m not afraid of this kid, am I?
A surge of anger rose in Jia Mingliang, deciding to take the gamble.
After already betting one million five hundred thousand, it would be a pity to pull back now!
Besides, taking a chance, he still had a fifty percent shot at winning!
And one million five hundred thousand wasn’t even a big deal to him.
“Just one million five hundred thousand?
I’m in!”
Jia Mingliang barked coldly, pushing his one million five hundred thousand chips forward.
“Wow, Master Jia really is extraordinary; it seems like one million five hundred thousand is just a trivial sum to you!”
Ye Xuan praised with a laugh before abruptly changing tone, shaking his head and saying,
“Such a pity, such a pity, he who doesn’t listen to elder Ye suffers right before his eyes!
Young man, take good care of yourself.”
“Quit your mystical nonsense!”
Jia Mingliang snapped and said to the croupier, “Deal!”
The croupier dealt the seventh card.
Ye Xuan flipped over his card; it was a spade 4, and he couldn’t help shaking his head and sighing, “Ah, it seems my luck isn’t great, starting with a pair and ending with just a pair!
Master Jia, it looks like you’re going to win.
I’ve got only a small pair, no big waves to make.
Even if you don’t have a straight flush, you can still take all my chips!”
As he spoke, Ye Xuan revealed the two hole cards: a club queen and a heart 3.
Together with the five cards on the table—heart 9, diamond 3, club jack, diamond 8, and spade 4—Ye Xuan’s best hand was a pair of 3s!
Just a notch above a high card, if Jia Mingliang wasn’t incredibly unlucky, any pair would easily defeat Ye Xuan.
Seeing Ye Xuan’s cards, Jia Mingliang was overjoyed; he couldn’t believe Ye Xuan had only a pair of 3s.
At this mont, the smallest card in his hand was a heart 4!
This ant that as long as his seventh card matched any of the other six, he could beat Ye Xuan completely.
The odds of that were quite high.
