471: Chapter 466: Cheating, I’m an Expert!
“Spade 3 speaks!”
The croupier signaled Yang Tian to speak first, and Yang Tian didn’t hold back, promptly betting $1,000.
“Are you going to follow or not?
Just as I thought, your $1,000 in chips won’t be enough to lose, and you’ll probably lose it on the first hand, right?”
As he placed his bet, Yang Tian fiercely taunted Ye Tian.
Ye Tian, on the other hand, simply spread his hands and said, “I fold.”
“What!?” Yang Tian was taken aback and said, “Kid, you haven’t even looked at your hole cards yet, how can you fold already?
Do you want to play or not?”
But Ye Tian remained unmoved and said again, “Not in the mood, I don’t want to bet on this hand.”
“…”
Yang Tian was completely speechless; this guy was actually playing Texas Hold’em based on his mood.
Behind Ye Tian, both females, Wang Bingbing and Xia Ya, were also confused.
If Ye Tian was afraid of losing his $1,000 in chips and therefore didn’t bet, that might be understandable.
But why didn’t he even look at his hole cards?
Yang Tian’s upcard was just a Spade 3, which was a small card—just a slightly stronger hand would have allowed Ye Tian to contend with him.
The surrounding spectators also felt it was dull, partly because the chips Ye Tian brought were too few, making it look unexciting, and also because Ye Tian’s betting posture seemed like he was just playing around…
“Won’t you follow on the next hand either?”
Yang Tian taunted, and then, the croupier began to deal cards to the two players again.
After the hole cards were dealt, Ye Tian received a Spade Jack, while Yang Tian got a Heart 8.
“Spade Jack speaks!”
The croupier gestured to Ye Tian, who didn’t speak first but looked at his hole card—it was a Club 3.
Behind Ye Tian, Uncle Fu had already captured the image of Ye Tian’s hole card and sent it in real-time to the gold-rimmed glasses that Yang Tian was wearing.
Yang Tian also looked at his hole card, which was a Heart Ace—at least with these two cards, he had the better hand!
“$100!”
Ye Tian then placed his bet and even gave Yang Tian a smile.
“Young Master Yang, I can’t put down all of my $1,000 chip at once.
Could you kindly break it down for me with some change?”
“…”
Ye Tian, with a playful smirk on his face, greatly annoyed Yang Tian who wasn’t pleased with Ye Tian’s joking behavior.
But then Yang Tian thought about it; Ye Tian’s hole card was just a Club 3, which gave him a high chance of winning the hand.
So he decided not to concern himself with Ye Tian’s antics.
“No problem, your $1,000 will be broken down, and you’ll lose it soon enough!”
With that, Yang Tian handed Ye Tian $900 in chips, leaving $100 on the gambling table.
“I’ll match!”
Yang Tian pushed a $100 chip forward, and the croupier continued dealing.
This time, Ye Tian got a Heart 2, while Yang Tian was dealt a Diamond King, naturally giving Yang Tian a stronger hand.
“Diamond King speaks!”
The croupier gestured to Yang Tian, who didn’t hold back and immediately pushed a $1,000 chip onto the table.
“Let’s make it $1,000 then!”
Ye Tian smiled and said, “Young Master Yang, I have only $900 left.
Can’t you bet a little less?”
Yang Tian was speechless again.
However, he thought that as soon as he won the $1,000 chip from Ye Tian, he would make Ye Tian bow and apologize to him, venting his spite.
Therefore, he didn’t panic.
“In that case, make it $200!”
Saying that, he switched to a $200 chip and pushed it onto the table, and Ye Tian followed suit.
The croupier dealt the cards again.
This time, Ye Tian got a Diamond 4, while Yang Tian received a Spade 10.
Yang Tian still had the larger hand.
“Spade 10 speaks!”
After the croupier gestured, Yang Tian pushed another $200 chip onto the table, and Ye Tian, smiling, followed the bet.
It was time for the last card.
In Ye Tian’s hand, he got a Heart 3, while Yang Tian got a Spade 7.
In terms of the cards, Yang Tian’s hand was still slightly stronger.
“Spade 7 speaks!”
After the croupier’s signal, Yang Tian, knowing Ye Tian’s hole card in advance, naturally wouldn’t choose to bet.
Ye Tian had a pair of 3s, and he had the highest Ace.
Compared with Ye Tian’s hand, his was stronger.
Even a mosquito was meat, no matter how small—so even for only $500, Yang Tian wouldn’t choose to irrationally lose to Ye Tian.
“I fold!”
Yang Tian said with a smile and then spread his hands, giving up the gamble.
Ye Tian didn’t say anything, but the surrounding audience wasn’t pleased.
This greatly favored son of the Yang family, why did he suddenly choose to fold?
“What’s he up to?”
Xia Ya was just as astonished, but Wang Bingbing had already realized something was going on behind them.
She gave a fierce scan of the surroundings.
However, Uncle Fu’s position was incredibly hidden, and Wang Bingbing wasn’t able to find him.
“Quite impressive, Young Master Yang, did you choose to give up because you’re in a bad mood, or is it for some other reason?”
Ye Tian mocked, but Yang Tian shamelessly retorted, “Kid, this time you’re just lucky.
This young master is in a good mood and decided not to compete with you, but next time, your luck won’t be as good!”
“Luck?”
Ye Tian simply smiled faintly, not saying much.
With Ye Tian’s vision, how could he possibly not know that Yang Tian had someone secretly peeking at his cards from behind him?
But Ye Tian had a plan for that.
Whenever he peeked at his cards, he would lift them up to look.
In fact, with Ye Tian’s clairvoyant ability, he didn’t need to peek at his cards at all.
He could see not only his own cards but also Yang Tian’s.
And Ye Tian’s clairvoyant ability was not limited to that—he could even see the croupier’s cards, which ones would be dealt to him and which to Yang Tian; all of these he could see clearly.
How could Ye Tian possibly lose?
In the first round, Ye Tian knew that the five cards he was dealt were not as good as Yang Tian’s, so he chose to fold immediately.
In the second round, Ye Tian knew he would get a pair of threes, which were higher than Yang Tian’s cards, so he naturally chose to call!
After winning 500 dollars, Ye Tian carefully put it away, and then the third round began…
This round, the five cards were smaller for Ye Tian, so when the second card was dealt to him, he actively gave up and stopped betting.
Yang Tian’s face showed utter confusion.
What exactly was Ye Tian playing at?
If they continued gambling like this, when would he be able to win the 1000 dollars from him?
But there was nothing Yang Tian could do.
Out of a desire to vent his frustration, he had to keep gambling with Ye Tian.
In the fourth round, Ye Tian’s cards were better than Yang Tian’s, so he won another 1000 dollars from Yang Tian…
The fifth round, the sixth round, the seventh round…
As the gambling continued, Ye Tian’s advantage became more and more apparent!
Yang Tian had assumed that by being able to see Ye Tian’s cards, he would remain unbeaten, but he hadn’t expected that there were several rounds where Ye Tian simply didn’t bet at all, not losing a penny.
But whenever Ye Tian pushed his chips to the table, those chips could never enter Yang Tian’s pockets—Ye Tian’s victory was without a doubt!
After more than ten rounds, Ye Tian had already won over 100,000 chips from Yang Tian.
Yang Tian suddenly zoned out.
What was going on with him today?
How could he have not won against Ye Tian a single time?
And Ye Tian, smiling, said, “Young Master Yang, it seems my luck is better today.
If you think it’s no fun always losing, how about we stop here, what do you say?”
The provocative words immediately infuriated Ye Tian!
“What are you talking about?
At the gambling table, the loser can’t just walk away; how could the winner possibly leave like that?”
Yang Tian said in a frustrated and anxious tone, firmly believing in his ability to see Ye Tian’s hole cards, confident that he could take all of Ye Tian’s chips.
Everything that had happened so far was just good luck, but a person’s luck can’t always be that good!
“Alright then, let’s continue.”
In front of Ye Tian, there was already a large pile of chips.
Since Yang Tian wanted to keep gambling, Ye Tian was more than happy to oblige.
This time, Ye Tian waited until the fourth card was dealt before checking his hole cards.
Though Yang Tian could also get the data on Ye Tian’s hole cards in time, it affected his judgment.
Looking at Ye Tian’s cards, there was one Ace, and his hole card was also an Ace, while Yang Tian only had a pair of threes.
“Pair of threes to act!”
Even though a pair of threes is higher than a single Ace, the croupier let Yang Tian act, but Yang Tian felt a chill in his heart.
How could he possibly win Ye Tian’s pair of Aces if the last card wasn’t good?
“I fold!”
Yang Tian once again folded, and tens of thousands of dollars in chips went to Ye Tian again.
This time, Ye Tian’s tactic of not looking at his hole cards caught Yang Tian completely off guard, making him lose tens of thousands more dollars.
And from that moment on, Yang Tian was completely played by Ye Tian, applause to his tune!
Since he couldn’t know Ye Tian’s hole cards in time, Yang Tian just couldn’t place his bets, but Ye Tian had already anticipated Yang Tian’s cards and the croupier’s, allowing Ye Tian to win big.
Before long, Ye Tian had won over 500,000 dollars, the chips piled high in front of him, making Wang Bingbing and Xia Ya extremely excited!
And the spectators around them, seeing the Invincible General, Yang Tian, lose so much, were also incredibly surprised!
Could this Chinese man be a gambling god?
How could he be playing Texas Hold’em so well that Yang Tian didn’t stand a chance?
“Damn it, damn it…”
Yang Tian had lost half of his chips and his face was red with anger.
Although losing 500,000 dollars wasn’t much for a scion like Yang Tian, the fact that he hadn’t won a single round of Texas Hold’em against Ye Tian today was humiliating.
How could he bear that?
“Young Master Yang, after playing for so long, we’re both tired.
How about we decide the victor in the next round?”
Ye Tian said with a smile, Yang Tian was taken aback, this guy was clearly provoking him!
“Decide the victor in the next round?
Fine!
I want to see if your luck really is that good!”
Yang Tian said with fiery momentum, and the two decided the victor in the next round.
