The guest from the Middle East couldn't help but look at Shen Yao in a different light. He didn't expect her to be a rich woman. This was the best. Their families were well-matched in social status.
"My name is Joseph."
Shen Yao didn't care what his name was. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you in or not?"
Joseph chuckled. This was interesting.
"20 million!" he said loudly as he threw in 20 million worth of chips. No matter how much he threw in, there would be casinos that would purposely make him spit it out. So, he also became fearless.
The other two saw the two of them flirting with each other, and the amount was a bit too much. One of them looked at his hand and gave up, while the other persisted and also threw in 20 million.
"I'm in."
After the dealer dealt the fourth card to everyone, Joseph's card was a bit stronger. Of course, it also had to take into account the hidden cards in each person's hand. This was also the most exciting part of this game. A total of five cards were dealt, two hidden cards, three revealed cards, and starting from the third revealed card, you could use the combination of the hidden cards to see if you could give it a try, and your opponent could also use the revealed card to calculate your highest or lowest hand to decide if they wanted to follow or not.
It was obvious that Joseph was the best in terms of the strength of the cards that had been revealed.
On Shen Yao's side, the two revealed cards were a 5 and an 8, which was too risky.
However, Shen Yao smiled and threw in 50 million. "I'll raise 50 million, who wants to follow?"
Joseph looked at Shen Yao in awe, and then he looked at the casino staff and laughed in his mind. The casino really put in a lot of effort, even choosing a pretty girl to give away money to? Could it be that the casino prepared this snack for me?
Immediately, he looked at the dealer. The dealer also couldn't guess who had the higher hand and was a bit unsure, so he could only stay silent and not give Joseph any confirmation in his eyes.
Joseph didn't care anymore. How could he let a woman walk all over him like this? He also had the heart of a seductive woman, so he couldn't let Shen Yao know that he was a generous person.
"50 million, I'm in."
Shen Yao smiled, and at the same time, Xu Cheng also smiled. This was why he needed a woman to help him, and he needed a beautiful woman. At least, a beautiful woman would make people lower their guard a lot, and no one would think that a woman would be good at gambling and digging holes.
The other rich man snorted, curled his lips, and threw his cards away.
The dealer continued to deal the fifth card, and Shen Yao got a different colored number 7. Seeing this, both Joseph and the dealer laughed. Under certain circumstances, Shen Yao's highest card was a straight. However, unless her two hidden cards were 4, 6, and 9 of any color, it would be a straight, and one of the two cards had to be a 6! Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get it. However, it was hard to say how difficult it was to get a card. Even if he got a card 6, the remaining card might not be a 4 or a 9! Therefore, Joseph felt that this beautiful lady was too cute. She didn't know how to play at all.
On the other side, the two tycoons who had given up were secretly regretting why they had given up. It seemed like this woman didn't know how to do it.
Only Shen Yao knew that her cards were a 6 and a 9, making it a straight. However, what shocked her the most was, how did Xu Cheng know she had good cards? Before the last card was revealed, her hand was really a mess, belonging to the worst kind. But the appearance of the fifth card, a 7, completely connected all the cards, making it a straight! If she could speak right now, she really wanted to ask Xu Cheng into her earpiece, "How did you know?"
In fact, Xu Cheng had already seen through the cards on the table, and he had already calculated who would have the biggest hand after five cards each. He already knew that Joseph's biggest hand was three aces, and it wasn't as big as Shen Yao's straight. However, for someone who knew how to play, three aces was enough for him to take the risk and go for it. One had to admit that Joseph was quite daring.
Xu Cheng saw that Shen Yao was in a bit of a daze, so he called her through the communicator, "Don't get distracted, keep going."
After Shen Yao came back to her senses, she was still a bit worried. What if her straight was lower than Joseph's? After all, a straight wasn't particularly big in the game of poker. At the very least, a high card straight, a 4, a flush, and a straight would all be higher than her.
Xu Cheng felt her hesitation, so he reminded her, "Trust me, go all out and win as much as you can."
Shen Yao pursed her lips, took out 100 million worth of chips, and pushed it over. "100 million!"
Phew!
The two tycoons on the side who had already given up all took a deep breath. They didn't expect a woman to play this big.
"Beautiful lady, how can I win money from you like this? I'm scared that you will cry when you lose. "
Shen Yao rolled her eyes. "Then fold."
Joseph shrugged. "Obviously not. I've already put in 60 million."
Shen Yao: "Aren't you very generous?"
Joseph smirked. "No one doesn't like money, even women aren't as attractive as it is."
Then, he pushed in a bunch of chips. "100 million with you!"
Shen Yao didn't say anything else and pushed in another 100 million.
The dealer frowned, feeling like something was wrong. Logically speaking, if Shen Yao's hand wasn't a straight, it would be pretty much useless. So, the biggest reason why she kept going was probably because it was a straight. The dealer immediately looked at Joseph, and his eyes seemed to be saying 'no'.
Joseph saw the look in the dealer's eyes and immediately froze.
What the hell? Wasn't this woman sent by your casino to give me money?
"Sir, if you don't want to call, then fold." Shen Yao teased.
Joseph looked at Shen Yao's cards again. 5, 7, 8.
"Could it be that you have a straight?" Joseph looked at Shen Yao and asked.
Shen Yao smiled. "If you're scared, then fold."
If she really had a straight, Joseph would lose for sure. But he already put in so much money, should he fold now?
The quick-witted Joseph immediately laughed and said, "No matter how you combine your cards, your biggest card is a straight, and it's a straight that's neither big nor small. Do you think I'm scared of a straight? I'm in, 200 million! "
He was purposely beating Shen Yao at her own game, using the high stakes to scare her.
Shen Yao's face slightly changed, and she panicked. "What should I do? He can tell I have a straight? And he's not scared? Should I still call? "
At this moment, Xu Cheng's voice came, "There's a trick in the casino called bluffing. It's to let you know that he's already seen through your cards and then scare you, because your cards are too easy to calculate. Everyone knows that you can only get a straight at most, and sometimes it might not even be a straight. So, even if your opponent isn't as big as you, they will still try to scare you off with high stakes. Plus, you're a woman. Listen to me, if he dares to call, then you should continue. It's not like the money is yours, so what are you afraid of?"
Shen Yao finally understood, and her heart sank a little. She hoped that Xu Cheng was right.
Seeing Shen Yao's hesitation and panic, Joseph's smile became brighter and brighter.
"So, are you in or not?"
Shen Yao gritted her teeth and said to the staff, "Please exchange more chips for me, I'm in!"
