The waiter led Du Ming to the front desk with a suspicious look and asked him perfunctorily, "Sir, how many chips do you want to exchange?"
Du Ming casually pulled out a card from his pocket and handed it to the staff member at the front desk, saying, "First exchange 2 million chips, don't you have a minimum consumption quota? 2 million should be enough, right?"
The waiter immediately changed his expression, from the previous arrogance to being very enthusiastic, stretched out both hands to take over the card handed over by Du Ming and handed it to the staff, hastily saying, "Enough enough! Sir, please."
Next to him, a staff member handed over a stack of chips and presented them to Du Ming with a smile.
Du Ming curled his lip and then grabbed his own chips, casually selecting an empty seat at a table to sit down.
There were already two people sitting at this table. After Du Ming sat down, the two of them kept sizing him up repeatedly.
One of them snorted with his nose and said, "You, you're not here to gamble, are you?"
Du Ming heard this and looked at him, nodding his head, "Yes, otherwise what else can I do? Am I here to watch a play?"
That man hummed again, "Kid, I'm kind enough to advise you to change seats. You see, go over there and find an empty table to try your hand with some newbies. This is where us old hands play together, so don't come here to lose money."
Du Ming furrowed his brow and looked at himself, thinking what's wrong? Does his image really look like a rookie?
Du Ming rolled his eyes and ignored the person, placing the chips on the table. "Alright, cut the chatter, how many people are you gathering to start the game?"
Another person said, "Since that's the case, Little Han, then let's start with the three of us."
The person who spoke first was Xiao Han, and he chimed in, "Alright alright, let's get started! Jiang Ge, you can be the banker first, and you little kid just wait to lose everything!"
Du Ming ignored him and raised his hand to beckon, "Heguan?"
Du Ming had arranged a lot of chips on the table, all piled up on the surface. The dealer saw it and immediately walked over, "Hello sir, are you going to start the game?"
"Alright," Du Ming glanced at the two people, "let's just play classic Texas Hold'em?"
Those two nodded, and the little Korean who had been mocking Du Ming earlier said with a smile, "Hehe, kid, Brother Jiang is best at Texas Hold'em, you're really looking for death."
Du Ming said impatiently, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Let's just start already."
Xiao Han grunted and happened to be sitting on the left side of He Guan. He was the first to grab some chips and throw them onto the table, making a blind bet. The person to his left, Jiang Ge, also followed him in making a blind bet.
Xiao Han saw that Jiang Ge had also finished the first round of blinds and waved his hand to signal the dealer to hurry up and deal the cards.
The official nodded and immediately opened a brand new deck of poker cards, skillfully shuffling them in front of the three people. He then spread the cards out on the table with their faces down and drew two cards for each person, placing them face down in front of each individual.
Then Jiang Ge as the banker, first stretched out his hand, turned over half of his cards, looked at the contents, but there was no change in expression on his face.
Jiang Ge's next house was Du Ming. Du Ming also took a look at the card and then revealed a very mysterious smile.
Du Ming's next house was naturally Xiao Han. Xiao Han looked at his own card and let out a "ha" sound, seeming to be confident, and laughed loudly twice.
"The dealer asked, 'Gentlemen, would you like to raise or call?'"
Du Ming glanced at the expressions of the other two people, grabbed a handful of chips and threw them out, "Of course, add bets."
Xiao Han sneered and didn't wait for He Guan to ask him again. He had already pushed out a stack of chips, "I'll raise too."
Jiang Ge said expressionlessly, "I'm with Annot."
The dealer nodded and drew out three cards from the deck again, placing them face up in front of each player.
Jiang has the Seven of Spades, King of Hearts and Two of Diamonds. Xiao Han has the Four of Clubs, Five of Tiles and Eight of Tiles. Du Ming has the Ten of Spades, Queen of Spades and Three of Hearts.
The official smiled again and asked, "Gentlemen, would you like to place another bet?"
Du Ming revealed that mysterious smile once again, grabbed a handful of chips and threw them onto the table, "Raise."
Xiao Han glanced at Du Ming and said disdainfully, "Don't think that just because your hand value is high you can bet recklessly, rookie. Don't forget there are different card types too."
"Shut up with that kind of low-level trash talk, mind your own chips!"
Xiao Han grunted and also grabbed a handful of chips to throw out, "I'll raise too!"
Jiang Ge said coldly with an expressionless face, "I'm out."
Xiao Han said to Jiang Ge in surprise, "No way, Jiang Ge! You've never been one to hold back before. You're always a bold and meticulous player. Your cards can't be that bad today, can they?"
Jiang Ge seemed displeased and hummed a sound, with a hint of worry in his eyes, saying "Don't bother about others, take care of your own cards."
The dealer deals a third card face up, again one card per player.
Jiang Ge's card is the two of hearts, Xiao Han's card is the three of spades, and Du Ming's card is the nine of spades.
The croupier smiled and asked, "Gentlemen, would you like to place a bet or follow?" The croupiers all seemed to be anticipating something.
Du Ming smiled again, still with that slightly eerie and mysterious smile as before, and threw out a large handful of chips. "Continue to raise."
Xiao Han seemed a bit surprised, but looking at Du Ming's public card face, he thought to himself that such a rookie, seeing his own card face adding up to a high score, dared to bet randomly, and a mocking expression had already appeared on his face. Smiling complacently, he pushed out another large stack of chips, "Raise! Of course I'll raise!"
Jiang Ge's expression still seemed very serious, he gritted his teeth as if he was about to give up, but after hesitating for a moment, he said, "I'll follow the bet!"
The dealer seemed a bit surprised and then said, "Okay, I'm going to deal the final round of cards."
The dealer drew a card from the deck and placed it in front of each of the three people. This was the fifth community card.
Jiang Ge has a square tile four in front of him, Xiao Han's public card is the black peach seven, and Du Ming has a square tile six in front of him.
The customs officer smiled and asked, "Do you gentlemen need to declare anything else?"
Du Ming smiled mysteriously as usual, grabbed a handful of chips and threw them onto the table, "I raise."
