The sudden pause from the suited youth made my eyelids twitch slightly.
Impossible, right? It couldn't be that miraculous.
Without any extra movements or words, I'd placed a ten-thousand bet, and he could already sense something was amiss?
Although I appeared calm on the surface, my heart was already in my throat.
Two hours into the gamble, one hour had already passed. If I couldn't be the biggest winner among the six of us…
Even though I wouldn't lose any limbs, and could even leave the casino unharmed, I probably wouldn't get to see Yu Shuang!
Therefore, for me, not winning was essentially losing!
Just as my impatience was building and I was about to light a cigarette to calm myself, the suited youth finally moved.
He took out five chips, each worth ten thousand, and tossed them onto the gambling table.
Damn it! If you're going to raise, at least say something, man!
He was putting on a silent play, making me overthink for ages, thinking I'd missed something.
After a brief consideration, I chose to call.
No one folded in the first round; Da Fei Ge and the others all raised and called.
After everyone had called, the female dealer began to deal the fourth community card.
A conspicuous 10 of Clubs.
Before the fifth community card was revealed, the four community cards had already shown a trend towards a straight.
7, 9, 10, J.
Furthermore, except for the 9, the other three cards were all Clubs.
If the fifth community card was also a Club, then this hand… would be interesting!
With this thought, as the first to speak, I calmly bet fifty thousand.
If I hadn't been considering stabilizing the suited youth and leveraging the advantage of being the first to act, I would have definitely raised the bet earlier.
After I spoke, it was Da Fei Ge's turn.
Following the same pattern as before, after seeing my tendency to call, Da Fei Ge unhesitatingly chose to call and added an extra ten thousand.
After a few seconds of thought, the Smiling Tiger called.
Xiang Tianhua and Luo Qiyun also called.
It was evident that because the community cards were forming a strong pattern, the five of them wanted to stir up trouble this round.
When it came to the suited youth, he was particularly aggressive.
Not only did he call fifteen thousand, but he also directly added an extra forty thousand!
This meant that if I wanted to call, I would have to add another fifty thousand in chips!
I knew the suited youth wanted to use the community card pattern of this hand to aggressively take more of my chips!
For their hidden intentions, losing limbs or not wasn't important.
Since I was here to challenge them, even if I wasn't cheating, and they couldn't find any evidence against me, they could still report back to their superiors by winning all my chips.
This hand was interesting!
Fifty thousand was not a small sum. If I had chosen to call without any hesitation, the suited youth would definitely start inferring my cards in secret.
Therefore, after a feigned display, I gritted my teeth and added fifty thousand in chips.
I had a feeling that this round, if not a chaotic free-for-all, would at least be a battle of titans!
And the final pot would likely break all records!
After everyone had finished calling, the female dealer dealt the fifth community card.
A 6 of Clubs!
With the reveal of this card, the final pattern of the community cards was set.
Although the 6, 7, 10, and J were all Clubs, there were gaps of 8 and 9 in between.
Even if one wanted to cheat, they could only focus on the flush.
In this case, the initiative of the situation… would be entirely in my hands!
Because in this round, I spoke first!
As soon as the flush cards appeared, I knew that no matter how I played it, the suited youth would likely be able to deduce my two hidden cards.
After a moment of thought, I immediately had an idea.
Exhaling a large puff of smoke, I directly pushed all the remaining chips on the table, about 3 million, into the pot!
*Clatter…*
As the sound of plastic chips being pushed echoed, the faces of Da Fei Ge and the other five at the table immediately showed expressions of disbelief.
Following that, they all covertly shifted their gazes towards the suited youth, wanting to see what kind of hint he would give.
Unfortunately, the suited youth was as bewildered as they were, completely unaware of what I was up to.
Before going all-in with all my chips, I hadn't shown any unusual behavior.
In fact, to keep the suited youth complacent towards me, I had even deliberately lost nearly a million chips in his bomb hand earlier.
I hadn't expected to suddenly make a move at this moment, revealing my true intentions.
Seeing the suited youth stunned, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Damn it! You think you're so great!
Karma comes around, heaven spares no one!
Do you really think some so-called psychology is invincible and unbeatable?
If it weren't for the four cheaters protecting you, no matter what cards you gambled on, I could have cheated and swapped cards until you doubted your sanity!
Seeing that the suited youth remained silent and Da Fei Ge and the others were also quiet for a long time, I immediately chuckled coldly, "What, is no one daring to call?"
"If no one calls, then this round… I win!"
After revealing my hand, I no longer concealed my intentions and instead resorted to mockery and provocation with all my might.
Although this kind of taunt was crude, it could be very effective in some crucial rounds!
Because the suited youth, at this moment, could not and dared not be certain whether I was bluffing, truly had a good hand, or was preparing to cheat…
Therefore, he couldn't afford to give a hint this round!
If he did, there would only be two outcomes.
Either complete annihilation, or I would get a reprieve, win back all the losses, and return to square one.
Either outcome was unacceptable to the proud Da Fei Ge and the others.
Especially for Luo Qiyun and Xiang Tianhua, who had been playing a minor role from the beginning, if they folded again this round, their chips wouldn't last many more rounds.
Once someone was eliminated, it meant my winning probability would increase.
Therefore, this round was essentially a dead end!
Going all-in was the first thought that came to my mind the moment I saw four flush cards among the community cards.
You're good at psychology, aren't you? Why not try to guess what I'll do this hand?
After an unknown period of time…
"Heh heh! Little brother, it seems you're quite confident in this hand!"
Since the suited youth didn't give a hint, Da Fei Ge had to be the first to probe me.
But unfortunately, I ignored him.
Seeing my silence, Da Fei Ge said coldly, "Who are you trying to scare with your posturing?"
"I'll deal with you after I look at my hole cards!"
With that, Da Fei Ge made a move to look at his hole cards.
It was a habitual action for most people to look at their hole cards before betting heavily.
However, I knew that Da Fei Ge, being a cheater, would definitely be doing more than just looking at his cards.
Without an accurate hint from the suited youth, he was likely planning to cheat.
As expected, while shuffling the cards, I noticed Da Fei Ge subtly twist the ring on his little finger.
