Chapter 176: Chapter 159: Nearly 400 Million Bet! Lu Li didn’t rush to answer, instead, he looked at Zhang Jianmin with great interest, "Mr. Zhang, judging by your expression, you must have a good hand. Although I haven’t looked at my cards yet, I have faith in my luck."
Zhang Jianmin was taken aback, "What do you mean?"
The others also looked at Lu Li a bit confused, thinking, well, either you follow or fold, what else are you planning to do?
Lu Li slowly explained his intention, "My luck is so good that it feels a bit unsatisfying to bet on just one final card with you. How about this, let’s bet on two final cards. If you agree, I’ll match your all-in of 914 million chips, and additionally, we gamble an extra... one billion chips. What do you think?"
In some Texas Hold’em games, if both parties agree, two final cards can be drawn to determine the winner, and the card with the highest value is considered.
The premise is that both parties must agree.
Swish.
Everyone turned their gaze back to Zhang Jianmin’s face.
To see if he would follow after Lu Li proposed this astonishing bet.
Currently, all of Zhang Jianmin’s money belonged to his backer.
If he gambles an extra billion, he has to provide it himself.
Zhang Jianmin currently has three Aces, based on the current four community cards, it’s a winning hand for sure, but the fifth card might change that, and an additional final card equals more uncertainty.
An experienced player would definitely not take that risk.
Zhang Jianmin is also an experienced player, so he shouldn’t take that risk.
However, he was confident in his cheating skills and knew he could win this hand.
He knows Lu Li has a pair of 3s.
If Lu Li wants to win, the final community card has to be another 3, making four of a kind.
In fact, since Zhang Jianmin used sleight of hand while shuffling, there’s no way he’d allow Lu Li to win.
There’s no way the next card is a 3.
To prevent Lu Li from calling for a re-deal, the subsequent cards contain no 3s.
Of course, when Zhang Jianmin heard Lu Li wanted to "give away money," he couldn’t help but smile, "Alright, I’ll take your bet, but since neither of us have that many chips ready, should we let the casino provide corresponding chips for us?"
From the start of playing to now, after all costs and rake, Lu Li has won 55.14 million.
Including his capital, he has a total of 155.14 million.
And just now, he had already wagered 10.9 million in chips.
He still needs to match the 84.4 million in chips that Zhang Jianmin went all-in with this round.
Which means, he has 59.84 million chips left.
He’s still short of 40.16 million for the extra billion wager on the additional final card.
If he can’t provide the remaining chips, the bet won’t be valid.
Naturally, both Lu Li and Zhang Jianmin would be counting on the casino to front the chips.
Both of them want to win each other’s money.
Therefore, there are no objections from either side.
Before long, the chips were brought in.
Indeed, chips aren’t given out just like that; both parties signed agreements with Cheng Rong, these are credit chips, and the winner can return them to the casino post-match, but losers must pay out of their pocket.
Lu Li unhesitatingly pushed a billion in chips to the center of the table.
Zhang Jianmin also pushed a billion in chips onto the table with a swish.
The total amount of chips on the table reached 393 million!
At this moment, the female dealer, who wasn’t particularly affected by the stakes, trembled slightly as she spoke due to the huge sum, "Gentlemen, since you’ve both topped up your chips, should you reveal your hole cards first, and then let Mr. Zhang deal the two final cards?"
"Hmm, okay."
Lu Li had no objections and revealed his two hole cards, which were two 3s.
"Oh, Mr. Lu has three of a kind." Zheng Ya smiled, "If Mr. Zhang doesn’t have three of a kind, he might lose."
"Mr. Zhang, it’s your turn to show your cards. Do you have three of a kind?" Zhao Haizhe feigned curiosity.
Suqi, Greg, and the group were still playing along with their act.
Zhang Jianmin was relieved to see that Lu Li’s hole cards hadn’t changed.
Because the last two final cards couldn’t possibly be 3s!
"Heh, see for yourself."
Zhang Jianmin cheerfully flipped over his cards.
Two Aces appeared in everyone’s view!
"Gosh!"
"It’s actually three Aces!"
"Oh, Mr. Lu, you really lost big this time."
