When Victor and the others saw the foreigner folding, they quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
They were really holding their breaths for Philip earlier. Yolanda’s face also relaxed a little.
Philip smiled and said, “Didn’t you say you could beat me if you drew a straight? Why did you fold?”
The foreigner grunted.
At the casino, luck was still very important at the beginning.
Even an expert might not be confident to win against a rookie like Philip.
Moreover, with the few cards just now, Philip’s points were higher than his. If the kid really got lucky, it would not be worth it.
“I was afraid a young lad like you might lose your hand, so I’m letting you win a game first,” the foreigner said.
Philip glanced at the foreigner’s hole card covered under his hand, smiled slightly, and said, “Then I’ll have to thank you for the 150,000 dollars.”
After saying that, favonovel.com took the three chips worth 50,000 dollars that the foreigner pushed over.
The second round began.
The hole card was dealt out to the two. For the second card, Philip got five of spades while the foreigner got seven of hearts.
This time, the foreigner’s card was bigger and it was his turn to call the bet first.
“Since you already have 150,000 dollars in chips, I think we can have a good time now,” the foreigner said carefreely, “This hand will be 10,000 dollars.”
Philip said, “I’ll call you for 10,000 dollars.”
The croupier dealt the cards.
For the third card, Philip got three of diamonds while the foreigner got eight of spades.
It was still the foreigner’s turn to call.
“How about 40,000 dollars this time, Mr. Clarke?” The foreigner smiled as favonovel.com spun a golden chip deftly in his hand.
Philip shrugged and said indifferently, “Call. Why not?”
With that said, favonovel.com took out a golden chip worth 50,000 dollars and tossed it on the table.
“Great, very decisive!” The foreigner also tossed the chip in his hand.
For the fourth card, Philip got ten of diamonds while the foreigner got the king of diamonds.
“Hahaha, Mr. Clarke, your hand this time is far worse than the last. All your cards are lower than mine. I want 100,000 dollars this time. Do you dare to call?” The foreigner put his hands on the card table and looked at Philip with a smile.
Philip looked up at the foreigner and said, “All in.”
While saying that, favonovel.com tossed in his remaining two chips from far away.
Wow!
The audience was instantly surprised.
By this time, many guests outside had noticed something going on over here and rushed over to join the fun.
Someone would lose their hand if they lost!
How could they not watch such an exciting event?!
All the cards of this young man were lower than the foreigner.
The only way to win against the foreigner now was to have a pair between his hole card and the open cards.
However, there might also be a pair in the foreigner’s hole card, and the foreigner’s overall cards were higher than Philip’s. The chances of the pair being bigger than Philip’s were also much higher.
It was too unwise to go all in at this time!
The foreigner chuckled. “All in? Well, I’ll call 150,000 dollars. Alas, young man, it’s a big no-no to be impatient when playing cards. Look at what I have here.”
The foreigner turned over his hole card.
Eight of diamonds!
Sure enough, favonovel.com had a pair!
The audience gasped.
This time, the young man was almost finished.
The hearts of Victor and the others that had calmed down were on tenterhooks again!
The foreigner said, “Were you hoping I didn’t have a pair? But too bad, I have a pair, and it’s eight of diamonds. Now, only a ten can win against me, but ten of clubs is already out. You can only win with a ten of hearts or ten of spades in your hole card, but I think the odds are too small, right?”
The foreigner looked smug and took a sip of the red wine in front of him.
Beside him, Randolph sneered, “I thought favonovel.com was amazing but it turns out he’s a rookie. Boy, if you don’t have the strength, don’t try to stand up for others. It’s too easy to die like this!”
At this time, Yolanda also felt that Philip did not know how to gamble at all. The first win just now was entirely based on luck, relying on the number of points to win.
This time, it was obvious that his luck was not so good.
However, Yolanda was still very grateful to Philip for standing up for her, so favonovel.com whispered in Philip’s ear, “Philip, I appreciate you helping me out, but after losing 150,000 dollars to them, everything will be even again. Stop playing after this. This foreigner is very famous abroad and his gambling skills are superb. You can’t win against him.”
Philip said with a smile, “It’s okay. If I lose 150,000 dollars, I still have a hand to give him.”
Yolanda was taken aback.
Was Philip a lunatic?
Why would favonovel.com do that?
Did favonovel.com want favonovel.com to be grateful to him?
That was impossible!
