Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

The rules of Show Hand are quite simple.

Each player receives one hole card and one face-up card. The player with the higher-ranking face-up card can bet, and then those who want to continue playing can choose to call or raise.

After the fourth card is dealt, a player can go "All-in," also known as "Show Hand," which means pushing all of their chips forward, betting everything on one last wave.

It can be said that Show Hand is a poker game that greatly tests mental strength and experience.

Without a certain level of proficiency and psychological fortitude, playing this game is simply courting death.

The dealer stood in the center of the table, starting by unsealing a brand new deck of cards in front of the two.

Then, the cards were placed into a shuffling machine to be shuffled.

Even the dealing of cards was done by the shuffling machine. The dealer's only role was to act as a witness, to determine the winner.

After the hole cards and face-up cards were dealt, Xu Tong received a 5 of Hearts, while Michael received a King of Clubs.

"King speaks first."

The dealer gestured, indicating that Michael, who received the King, should place his bet.

"Since it's the first hand, I'll give you some face and start with a smaller bet."

Saying that, Michael carefully selected a chip from his ten billion worth of chips and threw it onto the table.

"Fifty million."

"I call."

Xu Tong threw out his chips almost without hesitation.

Michael hesitated for a second, because he was very sure that Xu Tong hadn't even looked at his hole card.

Michael had seen his own hole card, a King as the face-up card, and even his hole card was also a King, a very good starting hand. But Xu Tong, without looking at his hole card, with only a 5 showing, dared to call?

What was he thinking?

Michael couldn't figure it out, but soon, the third card was dealt in front of him.

This time, Michael's luck wasn't so good, receiving a 3 of Hearts, but a pair of Kings still exerted a lot of pressure.

It was Xu Tong's turn to speak, and this time he followed Michael's example, throwing out a stack of chips.

"Fifty million."

Although he threw out the chips, Xu Tong still didn't look at his hole card, which made Michael even more confused.

Even the top gambling masters couldn't play like this against him without looking at their hole cards at all.

Unless Xu Tong didn't want to win at all, just aiming to lose to him as quickly as possible, perhaps there was a certain possibility.

"I call."

Michael's curiosity about Xu Tong's tactics suddenly arose, and he wasn't timid, throwing out the chips.

"Raise by ten million."

The fourth card was dealt in front of him, Michael hadn't even clearly seen what this fourth card was, when he suddenly heard two shocking words from Xu Tong's side.

"All-in."

Whoosh—

All the chips were instantly dumped onto the table. Michael was stunned, after all, he could afford to lose several times, but once Xu Tong went all-in and lost, he would be completely plunged into the endless abyss.

What made him dare to make this judgment and go all-in right in front of him?

What kind of tactic was this guy using!

Michael hesitated for a second, thought for a moment, and then stopped hesitating.

His Michael's Casino's annual net income was hundreds of billions, could he possibly stop because of this mere thirty billion All-in?

"Alright, today these ten billion will be considered the admission ticket to see your hole cards. Even if I really lose, I won't complain, but you better really be able to win."

Michael stared at Xu Tong's eyes, which had no emotional fluctuations, "After all, you only have one chance to lose."

"Show cards!"

Michael flipped over his hole card. The three cards that came later were useless, the only useful thing was the initial pair of Kings.

Xu Tong also calmly flipped over his hole card. The hand wasn't big, but it was two pairs, just enough to be bigger than Michael's hand.

"Sorry," Xu Tong spread out his hands, "Looks like I'm just luckier."

Hearing Xu Tong say such bullshit, Michael originally wanted to say a few words in rebuttal.

But after searching his vocabulary for a long time, he couldn't find a suitable word. Helpless, he could only sit back in his seat and asked Xu Tong: "You dared to go all-in without even looking at your hole cards?"

Xu Tong just smiled slightly.

"Because Show Hand is a wisdom."

"So as long as I Show Hand, it means I have wisdom."

Michael: ??

Is that how you understand this sentence!

You understand a common saying by interpreting it literally? Who taught you Chinese? Find that person for me, I'm going to take that person's life!

In the second round, Michael's chips doubled from ten billion to twenty billion.

One face-up card and one hole card were dealt to Michael. His face-up card was still bigger. Just as he threw eighty million chips onto the table, Xu Tong still didn't even look at his hole card and directly chose to "Call."

Michael was caught off guard by this move and almost choked on his saliva, "You're not looking at your hole card again?"

Xu Tong grinned, "I predict in advance that after the fourth card is dealt, I will continue to go all-in. Before that, if you don't choose to give up, I will keep calling until All-in."

This…

Is this really a poker game?

Is this guy playing a cracked version?

Doesn't he only have that many chips in total? What makes him dare to go all-in like this?

Cold sweat was already flowing down Michael's forehead.

Although he didn't understand what was happening in front of him, he knew that he couldn't stop here at least.

"Okay, then I'll just see your hole cards!"

After the fourth card was dealt, Xu Tong perfectly fulfilled his promise.

"All-in!"

Michael almost spat out a mouthful of blood, but he still forcibly endured it and flipped over his hand.

Michael's hand completed a straight, but Xu Tong's hand was a flush.

It was just a little bit bigger than his!

Michael couldn't believe what he was seeing. This guy clearly hadn't looked at his hole cards at all, but he had won against him in All-in for the second time.

How did this guy do it?

This wasn't just a matter of luck. No one would dare to entrust their future life and human rights entirely to luck. This guy must have some trump card that he hadn't discovered!

Whether it was Jiang Bo or Yan Yichen, they had already been defeated by Michael. He didn't believe that Xu Tong was the only exception.

He would definitely be able to find a way to defeat this guy!
