Chapter 208 The Real Deal Appears
Chapter 208 The Real Deal Appears
Sometimes, going all in is an art, but it's also a risk.
For Ronan, however, going all in only has one outcome: winning.
When the burly, bearded man finally couldn't resist going all-in with Ronan, Ronan couldn't help but laugh.
That's right, this is exactly the moment he's been waiting for.
For a magician, if he loses to an ordinary person in such a trivial trick, then Ronan might as well give up.
Ronan ignored him and instead looked at the others.
"What about you guys? Shall we have a competition?"
However, Ronan's "little tricks" were all seen through by these people, who then threw away their cards.
They all wanted to see Ronan get his comeuppance, and they were also on the same side as this bearded, burly man.
Faced with outsiders, they had to band together to deal with Ronan.
"Alright, since none of you want to, then it's just us left."
"Then let's reveal the cards."
Ronan shrugged and threw down the cards in his hand.
There's a 2 of hearts and a 5 of hearts.
The moment those two cards were revealed, the burly man with the thick beard couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Kid, you dare to play all-in with a hand like this?"
At this point, the burly man with the thick beard revealed his cards, two Kings standing out prominently.
This hand was the best it could be except for a pair of Aces; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to go all in with Ronan.
"When I was playing cards, you were still in your dad's dunk!"
The burly man with the thick beard was clearly confident. With his hand, as long as he didn't get a flush or straight flush, which had a very low probability, his chances of winning were very high.
Not to mention four identical cards, the odds are even smaller.
Ronan smiled and gently tapped the table towards the dealer.
"Deal the cards."
He only said that one sentence.
However, in the eyes of others, Ronan's performance was nothing more than a forced act.
The dealer pursed his lips and began drawing cards from the deck.
What happened next left those who were waiting to see a joke completely dumbfounded.
3 ...
4 ...
7 ...
The three cards that appeared on the flop were all hearts, and each time one appeared, everyone around couldn't help but gasp.
When the third card was revealed, the bearded, burly man's composure had already crumbled.
With his current five cards, Ronan has a flush, making his hand stronger than his pair of Kings.
His only hope is that the next two cards will both be Kings!
Or it could be a King, and then one of the three cards that were previously turned over.
After all, capturing House is bigger than a flush.
"Now I want to know, who exactly should be the one in despair?"
Ronan looked at the bearded, muscular man with a smile and began to ask him questions in a very friendly manner.
Keep in mind that the probability of the next two cards being Kings is almost impossible.
Oh no, for Ronan, even climbing to the sky wasn't that difficult.
"Stop talking nonsense, keep flipping cards!"
The burly man with the thick beard swallowed hard and glared fiercely at Ronan.
That's how men are; they can lose anything but their battle.
Ronan shrugged and signaled to the dealer to deal the cards.
The turn has arrived, and this card can be said to determine the fate of the bearded, muscular man!
K!
When the top card in the deck appeared, some people couldn't help but exclaim in surprise!
The K that the bearded, muscular man wanted most has arrived!
In other words, the bearded, muscular man's chances of winning began to increase.
"Continue! Deal the cards!"
The burly man with the thick beard roared, and without even realizing it, he was so nervous that he started swallowing hard.
However, Ronan made a stop gesture.
"Anyone interested in playing something different, like betting on who will win this round?"
"I have a slight advantage on paper, so I'm willing to bet with you guys at 1 to 2 odds."
As he spoke, Ronan smiled and pulled a wad of cash from his pocket.
All of this money is old bills, and they are all 20-yuan notes. I estimate there are at least 100 of them here.
That is, $2000.
Ronan had calculated that the total value of these people's money was only $1000, so the $2000 was enough to cover the losses.
Of course, Ronan wasn't there to lose.
He's going to teach these people a lesson!
Upon hearing Ronan's words, the others at the table exchanged glances.
Ronan definitely has a better chance of winning at the poker table right now, after all, the bearded strongman only has four cards to gamble with: 3, 4, 7, and K.
Ronan can win as long as he plays any other card.
However, the odds of 1 to 2 are quite tempting.
Ronan touched the ring on his hand as he picked up the white man, then glanced casually at the dealer.
While Ronan wasn't paying attention, the dealer also touched the ring on his finger.
Immediately, both sides understood.
"I'll take it, $200!"
Just then, the white man Ronan was playing with seemed unable to resist the temptation and threw in a $200 chip.
With his statement, the other two seemed to have received a revelation, and without further hesitation, they threw all the money on the table into the container.
After calculating, they put in a total of $650.
Ronan nodded, then turned his gaze to the burly man with the thick beard.
What about you? Do you believe in your luck?
Ronan looked at him with a smile.
At this moment, Ronan sounded like a devil luring mortals into hell, his voice full of temptation.
The burly man with the thick beard took a deep breath, glanced at the others, and saw a familiar glint in their eyes.
They usually use this tactic when cheating outsiders.
Their initial plan was to scam Ronan, this fat sheep; even their previous actions were all an act.
"I'll add another $200!"
The burly man shouted and pulled out all the money in his pocket.
They scraped together the money, but in the end, they only managed to raise $198.
"Fine, I'll just consider it $200."
Ronan shrugged, signaling the dealer to continue dealing the cards.
The dealer nodded, then hesitated over the last card, which was also the most crucial card for everyone!
The cards slowly flipped over, revealing a red number 6 to everyone.
"Wardfa?"
"holly shit!"
Countless swear words echoed throughout the second floor.
This 6 of hearts not only gave Ronan a flush, but also shattered the bearded giant's dream of a comeback.
"Impossible! How could this be a 6 of hearts? Could it be...?"
However, before the bearded burly man could finish speaking, he realized that something was wrong.
He stopped talking abruptly, staring blankly at the card on the table.
The other three were also stunned; they hadn't expected that the final card would be a six of hearts.
They all turned their gaze to the dealer; this was not what they had agreed upon!
At this moment, the croupier's face had turned deathly pale.
The card she drew should have been the last King!
How did it turn into a 6 of hearts?!
No, that's not right, he cheated!
The dealer immediately looked at Ronan, but quickly denied it.
From the beginning until now, Ronan hasn't even touched the cards, so how could he have cheated?
Unless Ronan possesses the ability to teleport and switch cards in front of everyone.
He didn't believe that.
You should know that there are dozens of eyes watching this place from the second floor.
That's absolutely impossible!
However, this dealer may never have heard a word.
After eliminating all possibilities, the one that remains is also impossible, which is a fact.
"Oh?"
"Looks like Lady Luck is on my side today."
"Sorry, I'm slightly ahead of you in the straight flush."
After saying that, Ronan, under the gazes of four... no, five pairs of menacing stares, very casually collected all the chips and money into his own hands.
"Oh, I almost forgot about another lucky goddess."
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Ronan took out five ten-dollar chips and threw them to the dealer.
After throwing it, Ronan winked at the dealer.
It's very likely that the two people are having an affair.
All of them turned their attention back to the dealer.
They even suspected that the dealer was conspiring with Ronan to rip them off.
The dealer looked quite embarrassed as he looked at the money on the table.
She was caught in a dilemma: whether to take the money or not.
I thought we were partners to make money off people from other places, but now it seems like she's colluding with outsiders to swindle money from her own people.
The burly man with the thick beard was furious. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly.
He glared fiercely at Ronan, as if his fist was about to land on Ronan's face at any moment.
Unfortunately, Ronan ignored it.
"You've run out of chips. Do you still want to continue?"
Ronan maintained his smiling demeanor, completely ignoring the gaze of the bearded, muscular man.
The burly man with a thick beard took a deep breath; it was clear he was trying his best to suppress his anger.
"Alright, kid, you're lucky."
"I'd like to see how long your luck can last!"
After saying that, the burly man with the thick beard slammed his hand on the table again and called over a waiter.
He whispered two words in the waiter's ear, and the waiter looked troubled.
But the burly man with the thick beard ignored him and simply "took" a stack of chips from his hand.
This time, it's $500!
Seeing this, Ronan couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, now that you have a bargaining chip, let's continue."
---------------
For the next hour, Ronan did not use the all-in method again, but followed the normal rules.
Even so, he never lost a single game.
That's right, he hasn't lost a single game.
Regardless of the strength of his hand, Ronan would call; however much you bet, he would call the same amount.
For the course of that hour, gasps and exclamations echoed throughout the second floor of the bar.
Either Ronan starts with a strong hand, or he gets two bad cards, but he always manages to turn the tide and win on the flop.
And he has more and more chips at his disposal.
Whether it was changing the deck of cards every two rounds, or every round, or even changing the pale-faced dealer twice in the end.
But Ronan only had one word.
win!
No matter what cards they are, they'll all be wiped out!
The white man Ronan was working with was pale-faced and leaned back in his chair with a blank stare, muttering to himself.
The remaining two were in a similar situation; they lost even more than the white man.
The only one still capable of fighting on the table was the burly man with the thick beard.
On his desk, there was one last chance.
In this round, his hole cards were changed to two Aces, while Ronan had two of the lowest 2s.
The first three cards turned over include an Ace, while the other two are unrelated.
He wins if either of the next two cards is not a 2 or is an A!
Therefore, he stared intently at the last two cards, which were his only hope for a comeback.
Ronan glanced at the burly man's chips and casually tossed in a hundred-dollar chip.
"Since you're going to win, I'll sponsor you a little more."
Seeing Ronan's arrogant demeanor, the burly man with the thick beard felt like his teeth were about to break.
But there's nothing we can do; the other side won!
"I'm going with it!"
The burly man with the thick beard gritted his teeth; he had no choice but to comply.
Ronan smiled and gestured for the dealer to open the cards.
2 ...
When the 2 was turned over, the familiar gasp of shock rang out again.
Although the bearded burly man's three Aces are currently bigger than Ronan's three Twos, what if the last one is also a... Two?
"Let's reveal the cards."
Ronan gestured to the dealer again.
However, before he could finish speaking, the burly man with the thick beard stood up again.
"Both of us will have our hands grabbed and we won't be able to move!"
"I suspect you're cheating!"
The burly man with a thick beard looked at Ronan and offered his hands.
Ronan, however, laughed.
He stretched out his hands and placed them in front of the two people next to him.
Cheating?
Sorry, he doesn't use his hands.
Ronan's hands were also grabbed, and now the bearded, burly man had nothing to say.
Just as everyone was involuntarily holding their breath, the dealer, under immense pressure, turned over the last card.
2 ...
When the last card, the number 2, appeared in front of everyone, the entire second floor of the bar went wild!
They never expected that Ronan would completely turn the tide with his last card!
How is this any different from watching a movie?
No, this is perhaps a little different from making a movie, because what's in the movie is fake, but what's in front of you is real.
Throughout the entire game, Ronan kept his hands out in front of everyone, and even with his hands "bound" on the last card, he still managed to turn the tide!
What the hell is this?!
Is Lady Luck his lapdog?
How could he win like that? Isn't it just Lady Luck sucking up to him?
At this moment, the burly man with the thick beard sat down in a chair, looking utterly dejected. He had lost another $500.
This was the third $500 he had borrowed in the past hour.
In other words, he lost a total of $2000 in just over an hour!
This is an enormous sum of money for people in a small town!
Especially for Americans who don't have the habit of saving money, this amount of money is enough to bankrupt them!
Just as Ronan was smilingly accepting the money, a voice appeared.
"Outsider, you've won enough. Stop now."
"Using magic to play cards is a bit too unfair to the others."
Upon hearing the voice and sensing the magical energy emanating from behind him, Ronan broke into a bright smile.
The person he had been waiting for all night, the one he was here for, finally appeared!
