Although I don't know why Yu Shuang suddenly went all-in, I clearly understood one thing: the queen bee, who never makes a move without a plan, never acts without a reason!
If my guess is correct, her previous avoidance of battle and hidden intentions were all a facade!
She had long thought of a way to break the deadlock and escape, deliberately acting on my visual cue!
If things are indeed as I've deduced, it will save me a lot of thought and effort...
Yu Shuang's all-in with nearly seven hundred thousand chips is basically insignificant to the other five of us.
This is because everyone else's chips are around one million seven hundred thousand, with some even having surplus.
Therefore, everyone followed Yu Shuang's all-in in this round.
In an instant, the atmosphere at the gambling table became exceptionally tense and solemn.
After collecting everyone's chips, Hu Dinggui began to deal the third face-up card.
Starting with me.
Currently holding a pair of 10s as my best hand, my third face-up card was a single 3, which was useless.
The others reported their cards not in order, but according to their seating positions.
He Chenguang received a 9, not of hearts, which, along with his 7 and 8, formed a mixed straight.
Xian Zhongde's hand was practically ruined. While holding a mixed straight of 5 and 6, he drew a Q.
Jiao Changqing, skilled at all-in, had good luck and drew a 7 of clubs, matching his Jack of clubs and 4 of clubs, giving him the highest hand on the table – a flush!
Zha Meng, after his mixed pair of 2 Kings, was dealt another useless 8, almost solidifying his hand as a mixed bag.
As for Yu Shuang, to my utter surprise.
She started with a single 3, then drew an Ace, and now she had actually drawn another Ace!
In just one round of cards, Yu Shuang's hand became the second-largest on the table.
Strictly speaking, it could be considered the largest.
After all, drawing a pair of Aces before all cards were dealt maximized her floor.
Unfortunately, Yu Shuang had already gone all-in, so she couldn't make any moves this round.
Receiving a subtle nod from He Chenguang, Jiao Changqing shrewdly chose to pass, meaning he wouldn't raise the bet and deal the last card.
Following Jiao Changqing's decision to pass, He Chenguang and the others also passed.
When it came to me, I certainly couldn't raise the bet anymore.
Frowning slightly, I also chose to pass directly.
Automatically skipping Yu Shuang, Hu Dinggui began dealing the final round of hole cards.
Once the hole cards were revealed, if no one else decided to raise, everyone would immediately reveal their cards and determine the winner.
At that point, whatever trick Yu Shuang was playing would be clearly exposed.
For some reason, a hard-to-describe feeling suddenly arose in my heart.
It wasn't that I was worried about Yu Shuang losing; I knew very well that this woman never fought unprepared battles.
Rather, I had a premonition that what was about to happen might exceed my imagination...
After the hole cards were revealed, I received a King.
Although it was a high card, it was worthless.
He Chenguang didn't get a mixed straight; instead, he drew the lowest card, the 2 of hearts.
Xian Zhongde made a comeback. With a hand of 5, 6, and Q, he ultimately drew a Q.
Jiao Changqing's hand was the most terrifying; he actually drew another flush card, and it was the Ace of clubs, which Yu Shuang needed the most!
Zha Meng received an 8 as his final card, also forming a pair.
As for the queen bee Yu Shuang, who led the all-in, she drew a crucial single card, a Jack, forming a hand of 3, Ace, Ace, Jack.
It can be said that the moment Jiao Changqing drew the Ace of clubs, Yu Shuang's hope of getting three Aces plummeted to freezing point.
Another point to note is that if Jiao Changqing's hole card was also any of the clubs, then even if Yu Shuang drew the elusive Ace, she would be sure to lose!
"Ace flush is the biggest hand, please decide whether to raise!"
After speaking, Hu Dinggui's gaze locked onto Jiao Changqing.
Not only Hu Dinggui, but nearly half the people on and off the stage, their gazes were all fixed on Jiao Changqing.
This is because if he decided to raise, and I chose to call, then after revealing our cards, one of us would definitely be eliminated from the game.
At this point, even if I couldn't figure out Yu Shuang's intentions, I wouldn't be foolish enough to wait for the opponent to raise.
Better a dead comrade than a living enemy!
Before Jiao Changqing could make a decision, I indeed chose to fold my cards.
I couldn't call anymore!
If I continued to call, I wouldn't be able to retreat!
From the moment Yu Shuang chose to go all-in against the plan, I was no longer leading her; instead, I was being led by her.
And it was in a situation where I had no idea what she was trying to do.
Just then, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck my mind...
After I chose to fold, Jiao Changqing not only didn't pass but pushed all the chips in front of him into the pot!
"I'm all-in!!!"
In an instant, the audience below was stunned.
In contrast to the audience's emotions, the few people on the stage showed various expressions after Jiao Changqing chose to go all-in.
Following that, including He Chenguang, three people quickly made their decisions.
He Chenguang directly folded and did not call.
Xian Zhongde called, and Zha Meng folded.
Seeing this scene, combined with the flash of inspiration in my mind, I suddenly began to understand why Yu Shuang had suddenly chosen to go all-in in this round without any warning.
At this moment, I saw He Zhonghua, who was in the spectator area, also showing a look of astonishment, completely disbelieving.
Heh heh ~ I understand! I understand everything!
...
According to the rules of all-in, Yu Shuang, who had no more chips to go all-in with, revealed her cards first.
Her slender jade fingers flashed across her hole card, revealing a Jack of spades, which, combined with the face-up cards, formed a two-pair combination of Jacks and Aces.
"Holy cow!!! Two pairs and she went all-in with a flush! Does this woman know how to play cards?"
"Exactly! She's been a nobody from beginning to end. Could she be involved with the organizers and got inserted into the game?"
"You know, it really seems like it! I watched the previous days of the competition, and I never saw this woman before!"
"........."
Just as everyone began to point fingers at Yu Shuang, Jiao Changqing and Xian Zhongde had already revealed their hole cards!
Jiao Changqing's hole card turned out to be a 4 of hearts, turning his flush into a mixed hand!
As for Xian Zhongde, his hole card was a 6, which, combined with the face-up cards on the table, formed a pair.
It was clear that two pairs of 6s and Queens were definitely no match for two pairs of Aces and Jacks.
In this round, Yu Shuang had won!
Furthermore, with only seven hundred thousand chips, she had managed to eliminate both Jiao Changqing and Xian Zhongde!
It happened so suddenly, without any warning or prelude!
At this point, I finally understood why Yu Shuang had remained so calm and unmoving throughout the entire round, even though she was clearly at the bottom from the start.
It turned out that Jiao Changqing and Xian Zhongde were both her people!
