"Thank you for your invitation, but I'm in a hurry to play. You guys can go first." Huo Mien smiled and declined Wei Liao's invitation.
Then, she slowly walked around and looked around. She found that many people could not hold back and had already sat down.
Huo Mien wanted to try her luck. She saw that there was a table beside her that lacked a seat, so she sat down beside her.
Opposite her was an elderly woman in her fifties. She wore heavy makeup and was slightly chubby. Her hair was tied up and she had a cigarette in her mouth. She did not look like a kind person.
On her left was a bespectacled man in his late thirties. He was thin and average-looking.
On the right was a bald man with a fat head and big ears. He looked to be in his forties and was wearing a Rolex watch. The stench of copper filled the air.
"Oh, a young lady is here. We can reveal our cards now." The bald man smiled wretchedly.
The others did not speak. The dealer standing at the side immediately said, "Everyone is here. We can deal now. Before we deal, please place your bets."
The smoking auntie immediately threw in 1,000 yuan worth of chips. Then, the bespectacled man threw in his chips as well.
Huo Mien and the bald man threw in their chips at the same time. They had a total of 4,000 yuan worth of chips. When they called out their cards later, it would not be lower than 1,000 yuan. It seemed that they were not playing very well. It was not an exciting scene that would determine the winner or loser.
"Okay, we'll deal now." After the dealer finished speaking, he put on his white gloves and started to deal the cards.
Card stud was relatively simple. There were 28 cards in total, 8-9-10-J-Q-K-A.
Then, they would compare the big and small cards. Everyone would start with two bottom cards that only they could see. Then, they would give out three name cards that everyone could see.
Finally, they would compare the big and small cards …
Huo Mien was not very lucky. The two bottom cards she got were 8s and 9s.
If both cards were 8s, she could get three 8s and blow it up. However, it was really unlucky to get an 8 and a 9s.
Huo Mien noticed the smoking auntie. After she saw the bottom cards, the corner of her mouth curled up. She was very pleased with herself.
Then the dealer began to give out the name tags. The smoking auntie's first name tag was K, the bald guy's was J, the glasses guy's was J, and Huo Mien's was Q.
The auntie had the most chips, so she said, "Three thousand dollars." Then, she threw in three thousand chips.
The bespectacled man hesitated for a moment and finally said, "I'm not following." Then, he put down his card and forfeited.
Huo Mien threw in 3,000 chips and said, "Call."
Baldy also took out three thousand chips and threw them in. "Follow."
In the second round, the woman got an ace, the baldy got a queen, and Huo Mien got a jack.
The auntie was the biggest again. She took another $5,000 and threw it in. "$5,000."
Before Huo Mien could say anything, the baldy immediately put down his card. "I'm not following." He forfeited.
The auntie smiled proudly. Then, she looked at Huo Mien provocatively. If Huo Mien also forfeited, then it would mean that the chips that everyone had thrown in just now and the bottom cards that they had placed earlier all belonged to the auntie.
Huo Mien calmly picked up his chips. Just as he was about to throw them in, the baldy reminded him, "Girl, she has an ace and a king, which is 28 points. You have a queen and a jack, which is 23 points. You've already lost 5 points. If your bottom card isn't big enough, you'll lose for sure."
"It's not the last round yet. No one knows what the result will be. Who knows, maybe I'll get a big one in the third round." After saying that, Huo Mien threw in 5,000 chips without hesitation.
The others looked at her in disbelief. They didn't expect this young girl to be so bold.
"Hurry up and give out the cards." The auntie seemed a little impatient.
The dealer immediately gave out the cards for the third round. Only Huo Mien and the auntie were left in the third round, so only two cards were given out.
In the previous round, the auntie had the most chips, so she was given out first. This time, she got a queen.
Huo Mien got an ace, so this time, Huo Mien had the right to speak. The dealer reminded her, "You can place your bet now, madam."
