Chapter 75: 75. Royal Straight Flush
It seems that Tasting’s intelligence isn’t as sharp as I imagined. They still don’t know that Black Bear has had an incident, or rather, they don’t care much about a small figure like Black Bear.
Chen Che’s heart sneered coldly; sometimes the collapse of a great building is due to the presence of such little figures.
The second community card has been dealt.
Queen of Spades.
This card seemed to particularly stir Xu Ziang and Chen Gongzi.
Both decisively chose to raise.
The stakes were pushed to fifteen thousand by the two.
Unexpectedly, no one at the table left.
Including Chen Che as well.
The second community card, a five of hearts.
Call continues, the total pot exceeds a hundred thousand.
The third community card, Jack of Spades!
Xu Ziang raised fifty thousand!
One gambler folds, Chen Che and another person call!
Xu Ziang’s breathing quickened.
He holds an 8 and 9 of spades in his hand.
As long as the community cards bring a 10 of spades.
In addition to the Queen and Jack of spades, he could obtain a straight flush!
In Texas Hold’em, a straight flush is the highest hand!
The fourth community card... Queen of clubs!
"Oh..." An awe-struck blonde blue-eyed white gambler exclaimed loudly: "There’s already a pair of queens. Could four of a kind appear in this hand?"
Four of a kind refers to four cards of the same rank.
The second largest hand after a straight flush.
It’s Chen Che’s turn to decide whether to call.
"Raise, one hundred thousand."
The price made everyone watching feel their scalp tingle.
The white gambler who exclaimed earlier immediately chose to fold, saying, "You guys are crazy, I’m not going to play with you."
Chen Gongzi looks at Chen Che, raises an eyebrow and says, "It seems your hand is pretty good, since you’ve raised, how can I not play along? Raise, two hundred thousand."
Down the line, Xu Ziang and one remaining gambler felt a little uncomfortable.
Xu Ziang glanced at his cards.
As long as the next community card shows a 10, even if it’s not a 10 of spades, he could still make a straight.
Gritting his teeth, Xu Ziang chose to call.
The remaining one is a rotund businessman; in the Wasteland, being fat is equivalent to wealth.
After all, impoverished people in this resource-scarce place cannot grow fat.
He took a look at the cards in his hand, tapping the table with his fingers, "I’ll join you for something thrilling!"
Call!
The last community card!
As the scantily-clad beauty dealer slowly flips it over, everyone’s eyes lock on.
of Spades!
"Last round of raises."
The fat businessman speaks.
The fat businessman glanced at his cards, raised an eyebrow and said, "Raise! Three hundred thousand!"
Chen Che speaks.
Chen Che glances at the chips, he has five hundred thousand left.
"All-in!"
Chen Che pushes all his fifty thousand chips into the pot.
The audience erupts in a burst of cheers.
All-in with fifty thousand chips directly?
This is the final round.
All gamblers remaining at the table will showdown.
The player directly after Chen Che is Chen Gongzi.
Chen Gongzi can’t help but frown.
Chen Che went all-in; he either calls the fifty thousand to continue to the showdown phase, goes all-in himself, or folds.
Looking at the cards on the table, Chen Gongzi’s heart is taken aback, staring at Chen Che and saying, "Your hand... wouldn’t it be..."
Chen Che smiles faintly, "Chen Gongzi, feel free to guess whether luck has blessed me with such a hand."
Chen Che’s fingers lightly tap the two hole cards.
Chen Gongzi squints and smiles, "Isn’t it just fifty thousand? I call! I’m going to see today if you’re bluffing!"
Chen Gongzi only chooses to call!
The words were spoken lightly, but only Chen Gongzi knows that fifty thousand is not trivial for him.
Xia Na grips Chen Che’s thigh tightly, and the funds on the poker table exceed one million.
If Xu Ziang also chooses to call, the money on the table will exceed two million.
Bobby doesn’t even dare to look.
Nervously biting his fingers.
The eyes of the gamblers around burned fervently, to see such a large pot, even at the Golden Casino, is rare.
Xu Ziang’s lips twitched slightly, fifty thousand!
He only has forty-eight thousand chips left.
To continue, he must go all-in.
Glancing at his hole cards then the community cards.
Staring at the million chips in the pot, Xu Ziang’s eyes turned red; such a sum of money was no small amount to him.
"Alright! I’ll join you in going all-in!"
Out of money, all he can do is go all-in.
In Texas Hold’em, if the player before goes all-in, the next player can only continue by matching the all-in amount, even if they don’t have enough money, they can choose to go all-in.
"Damn it, you guys are all crazy."
The businessman reveals his cards, saying, "I have a flush of spades! Show what cards you have!"
The businessman’s hole cards are a 3 and 5 of spades.
With the three spade community cards, it’s just enough for a flush.
The fifth-ranked hand in Texas Hold’em
"Sorry, you must have lost then."
Chen Gongzi smiles slightly, slowly reveals his own hole cards.
A Queen of Diamonds and a Queen of Hearts.
A round of cheering erupts around him as, with the community cards, a Queen of Clubs and a Queen of Spades, paired with any other card, it forms Four of a Kind—the second-ranked hand in Texas Hold’em!
The folded white gambler can’t help celebrating, exclaiming, "I told you your hands were no small thing! Damn, there really is Four of a Kind, glad I left quickly!"
"Your turn."
Xu Ziang let out a breath and his lips curled into a smile, "Sorry, everyone, this round should belong to me."
Hole cards revealed.
and 9 of spades.
With the community cards: 10, J, Q of spades.
It’s the highest-ranked hand in Texas Hold’em—a straight flush!
Chen Gongzi’s face darkens; such a sum of money is no small loss for him, not expecting a straight flush to really appear.
"Director Xu has quite the luck," Chen Gongzi comments dryly, despite the substantial loss.
Such money is not enough to break him.
While Xu Ziang stands up to gather the chips, Chen Che suddenly laughs and says, "Director Xu, you didn’t wait for me to reveal my cards?"
Xu Ziang scoffs coldly, "What, can you possibly have something bigger than mine?"
Chen Gongzi watches Chen Che and Xu Ziang with disdain; none of the three belongs to the same faction, after all, Xu Ziang wants to recruit An Nishang to fight against their Tasting Commerce Association.
So Chen Gongzi spoke faintly, "Xu Ziang, don’t forget there are still the Spade King and Ace missing on the table. If his hand holds these two cards, he’d have the largest hand in Texas Hold’em—a Royal Flush."
Xu Ziang’s eyes dilate.
Staring intensely at Chen Che’s hole cards, Chen Che sighs, "Sometimes I suspect Chen Gongzi, that you have x-ray vision, you’ve truly guessed right."
Hole cards revealed.
King of Spades and Ace of Spades.
The room explodes in cheers.
It really is a Royal Flush!
"Holy sh*t!"
Bobby jumps excitedly, Chen Che maintains a faint smile on his face, "Sorry, Director Xu, I didn’t expect you’d be so eager to give me money. Don’t worry, I’ll use the money you lost to buy a good gift for my boss."
Xu Ziang’s face turns ashen, slumping onto the poker table; truly one moment Heaven, the next Hell, Chen Che—a wretched man—kills not only the body but also the spirit!
He wished he could rush over now and finish off Chen Che; seeing Chen Che’s smile makes him sick!
Kept smiling at the table, Chen Che’s hand beneath the table clutches Xia Na’s wrist tightly, while his thigh’s flesh is nearly being gouged out by Xia Na!
This woman!
Outwardly calm, inwardly unknown how thrilled.
All sorts of thoughts almost flattery in his heart.
Oh, a woman who says one thing and thinks another.
"Looks like Young Master Xu seems to have run out of funds, would Young Master Xu like a loan from me?"
