Chapter 319: French Gambler
Seeing the gambling game officially begin, the whole hall fell silent, everyone focused on watching this billion-dollar battle.
All of them, the dealers, had been trained by Shen Shengtian, and Jin Neng's trick of "Sweat-dripping Pharaoh" did not escape his eyes.
When he picked up the playing cards that Jin Neng had put out, he saw Huang Shihu nod, and then he officially shuffled and dealt the cards.
"According to Mr. Jin's rules, the minimum bet for this poker game is 100,000 and the maximum is 10 million.
Except for this Mr. Zhu."
The dealer then reminded Zhu Jiang:
"Mr. Zhu, according to the regulations, your minimum bet is 10,000 and the maximum is 1 million.
If you win in the end, you can only win four times your bet amount.
For example, if you bet one million Hong Kong dollars in this game, if you are the final winner, you can only take away four million chips, and the rest of the chips belong to the second winner.
Do you have any objection to this?"
Zhu Jiang shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this:
"No objection, no objection."
The other three also had no objection, and they didn't intend to let Zhu Jiang stay too long. At most, they would kick him out after a few rounds.
The reason why Jin Neng let him join the game was just to occupy a position.
The dealer nodded and continued:
"The notaries for this gambling game tonight are:
Mr. Lu Lianye, the eldest son of Mr. Lu Jiu, the first generation gambling king of Macau, and also the head of the contemporary Macau Lu family.
There is also the second-generation head of the Fu Deyong (Fu Laorong) family in Haojiang, Mr. Fu Yinquan.
The last one is Mr. Pierre Carson, the gambling king from France. He is also the most famous gambling legend in France today, and a gambling god who has almost never lost in his life. "
The three notaries stood up one by one to salute everyone present. Pierre Carson, who was already in his seventies, took the microphone and said with a self-deprecating smile:
“I appreciate the compliment from the dealer, but the fact is that I once lost to a Chinese gambling master at the China Shanghu.
His name is Fight the Tiger Tonight.
The reason why I happened to witness this gambling game today is because I am old now and I want to use the last moments of my life to find the gambling master who defeated me back then. "
As he said this, he looked at the yellow lion tiger and smiled slightly and continued:
"To be honest, this Mr. Huang actually looks a bit like the man who beat the tiger tonight. If it weren't for the age difference, I would have thought I had found someone."
When Huang Shihu heard him mention himself, he bowed and smiled at him.
Pierkason had heard that the walled city was powerful and had many strange people, so he came here to try his luck, hoping to encounter the same scene of fighting tigers as he did tonight.
The head of the Lu family and the second-generation head of the Fu family were simply forced into a desperate situation by Shui Ling. They could not find Li Shaoan himself, so they had no choice but to come to the city to seek peace.
They have been here for more than ten days. Now that they have such a good opportunity, why don't they come out and show their skills?
After the notaries had introduced themselves one by one, the dealer asked Jin Neng and Chen Jincheng:
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Jin, do you have any objections to these three notaries?"
Chen Jincheng and Jin Neng both shook their heads.
None of them expected that this impromptu gambling game tonight would involve three big names in the gambling world.
These people are indeed qualified to be the notaries of this gambling game.
In this day and age, gambling games with stakes of hundreds of millions are not common. The fact that Chengzhai invited these people to act as notaries proves that they take this gambling game very seriously.
After all, this is a good opportunity for publicity.
After everything was ready, Huang Shihu, Chen Jincheng and Jin Neng all started to take off their suit jackets and all the accessories on their hands.
Although Zhu Jiang was puzzled when he saw their expressions, he quickly took off his coat, removed the watch on his wrist, and handed it to the staff who came to collect it.
The main witness, Pierkasson, carefully looked at the cuffs of several people, nodded and smiled:
"No problem, you can start now."
Huang Shihu clapped his hands upon seeing this, and immediately a staff member brought several large suitcases, which they opened one by one, revealing the US dollars inside.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Jin, this is my capital.
Here is 10 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 52 million Hong Kong dollars. You can check it out."
After all, the stakes are so high, and others won't feel comfortable with you taking all the chips, so you still have to make the necessary gestures.
Chen Jincheng and Jin Neng did not check either, as they still had some credibility in the city.
Then they divided the more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars they won tonight into half each, and then each signed a Swiss bank draft to make up the 10 million US dollars.
After the staff finished the inspection, they also gave the two of them 10 million US dollars in cash.
When the dealer saw them nod, he picked up the poker cards on the table, shuffled them several times, and spread the cards in a semicircle on the table.
Then each person was dealt a hidden card and an open card.
Huang Shihu looked at his open card, which was the Ace of Spades, and smiled slightly:
"It seems I'm lucky, so I'll start with 20,000 US dollars (100,000 Hong Kong dollars)."
Zhu Jiang looked at his open cards, which were the two of diamonds, and his hidden cards, which were the two of hearts. The appearance of a pair of twos made him instantly happy.
Although he could have invested 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, he also put in 20,000 US dollars.
Jin Neng sneered in his heart upon seeing this. It seemed that this gambler wouldn't even make it to the second round.
Jin Neng, whose open card was the King of Hearts, looked at the hidden card and said directly:
"I'll follow with 20,000, and I'll add an extra 100,000 dollars."
Chen Jincheng's up card was the three of clubs, and he didn't even look at his hidden cards and just bet $120,000.
Zhu Jiang didn't expect that someone would bet 600,000 Hong Kong dollars after the first card was revealed, but after thinking about it, he followed suit.
Seeing that everyone called and no one folded, the dealer continued to deal the second open card.
This time Huang Shihu's open cards are the ten of diamonds, Zhu Jiang's are the seven of diamonds, Jin Neng's are the four of clubs, and Chen Jincheng's are the three of hearts.
The dealer put his five fingers together, pointed at Chen Jincheng's cards and said:
"Mr. Chen is the only one on three. Mr. Chen will have the final say this round."
Chen Jincheng took a puff of his cigar and said with a laugh:
"It seems that I am lucky, so I will give it 100,000 as well."
Huang Shihu smiled and threw in 100,000 US dollars, and Jin Neng followed suit.
Only Zhu Jiang looked left and right, turning over his own cards and then looking at Chen Jincheng's one on three, for nearly a minute, until everyone was looking at him, he gritted his teeth and invested all his money.
Because it was not enough, he even threw down the more than 20,000 Hong Kong dollars he had just won.
Liu Junjie, who was not far behind him, shook his head when he saw this. It seemed that tonight's midnight snack was too cold to be used.
Since he has no money left, even if he has cards, it is not his turn to have the final say in the remaining two rounds.
Seeing that no one gave up, the dealer continued to deal the third open card.
In this round, Huang Shihu had the ten of hearts, Zhu Jiang had the seven of hearts, Jin Neng had the ten of clubs, and Chen Jincheng had the five of clubs.
When Zhu Jiang saw that he had two pairs, he was delighted, but he had no money left, and his one pair of seven was not the biggest, so he had no say.
