996 Still Too Young
When Ye Feng chose to place a bet of 30 million, everyone in the spectating area was stunned.
“He… He actually followed? This is 30 million!”
“Isn’t this too impulsive? He actually dared to continue following such a lousy hand?”
“This is crazy, this is crazy. He performed quite well in the first few rounds. Why is he suddenly going crazy now?”
“I don’t understand either. With his cards, he should have thrown them away long ago…”
Not only did the organizers not understand, even Hong Xiaotian and Xiao Changqing could not understand.
According to the rules of stud, in order of size: Royal Flush > Iron Branch > Full House > Flush > Straight > Three of a Kind > Two Pair > Pair > Scattered Cards.
Ye Feng’s cards now were the 8 of Spades, 9 of Diamonds, 8 of Clubs. There was no hope for a royal straight, a straight, or a flush.
On the other hand, the opponent was holding the J, Q, and 9 of Diamonds. All of them were Diamonds, so there was still a high chance of getting a straight flush or even a royal flush.
Under such circ.u.mstances, he still dared to bid 30 million?
They could not understand.
Even the man in the tuxedo was stunned by Ye Feng’s actions. “You… What kind of trick is this? You still dare to continue with such lousy cards?”
Ye Feng slowly leaned back on the sofa. He took a gla.s.s of red wine from the waiter. “Those who are brave will die from being stuffed, those who are timid will starve to death. I bet that you don’t have a flush.”
The man in the tuxedo immediately laughed. “Hahaha, okay, I’ll bet with you to the end.”
After saying that, he signaled the dealer to continue dealing.
This time, Ye Feng got a 10 of Hearts while the man in the tuxedo got a 10 of Diamonds.
“Sigh…”
Seeing this scene, the spectators could not help but feel sorry for Ye Feng.
There was really no hope now.
If this card could deal an 8 or a 9, there was still hope, but if a 10 was dealt, the hope would immediately become slim.
The man in the tuxedo’s cards was still very smooth. A 9 of Diamonds, a 10 of Diamonds, a J of Diamonds, and a Q of Diamonds. As long as the last card was a K of Diamonds or an 8 of Diamonds, he would be able to make a straight flush.
Even if he couldn’t get a straight flush, as long as he had a diamond of any color, it would still be a flush.
Compared to the two, Ye Feng’s cards were far inferior. His chances of winning were very small.
“Wow, it seems like my hand is very smooth.” The man in the tuxedo had a smile on his face as he tapped his fingers on the table. “Such a good hand, of course we have to play bigger. Let’s round it up.”
With that, he pushed out 45 million in chips.
Adding on the 55 million he had bet earlier, he had already bet 100 million for this round!
The spectators couldn’t help but exclaim.
“This player is also very bold. He actually dared to bet 100 million in one game.”
“His performance in the first few matches was very low-key, but he actually entered the finals without a sound. He’s really a dark horse.”
“Do any of you know this person? After the compet.i.tion, I really want to get to know him.”
“He’s wearing a mask. He probably doesn’t want to expose his ident.i.ty, right? It should be a civilian expert!”
“This year’s Gambling King Tournament is really a surprise. There are actually two dark horses appearing at the same time.”
“In comparison, I think more highly of this contestant. That Feng Ye is a little… too rash.”
“Indeed. It seems that this year’s Gambling King position will be between Hong Jiajun and this player.”
“I’m really looking forward to it…”
Everyone was optimistic about the man in the tuxedo, but they were disappointed in Ye Feng.
The main reason was that his performance in this game was very bad. It was really unwise to bet so many chips on a bad hand.
However, what left them speechless was yet to come.
After Ye Feng saw the man in the tuxedo’s bet, he only smiled. “It seems like you are very confident in your cards. Are you sure your trump card is a diamond?”
The man in the tuxedo spread his hands. “Just like you said, the bold will die from being stuffed, and the timid will starve to death. Since you dare to bet with such lousy cards, what do I have to be afraid of?”
Ye Feng smiled and nodded. “That makes sense. Since you are so bold, then I can’t be too cowardly. 45 million, open.”
With that, he pushed out 45 million in chips.
Hong Xiaotian and the others stood up one after another, looking at this scene in disbelief.
They could understand why the man in the tuxedo was playing so big. After all, his cards were indeed very good.
But Ye Feng had such lousy cards, and he actually played such a big game. This made them puzzled.
“What is this guy thinking? He actually dared to bet so much on such lousy cards?”
“Sigh, I was quite optimistic about him before. Why did he make such a stupid move in this game?”
“Maybe he thinks that he has already bet so much, so he doesn’t want to give up and wants to take another gamble?”
“This is the mentality of a gambler. He always has the mentality of being lucky, but he doesn’t know that the more he does this, the more he loses.”
“He is still too young. His mental state still needs to be tempered…”
Everyone could not help but shake their heads and sigh. They felt that Ye Feng was taking too much of a risk.
Hong Xiaotian and Xiao Changqing were also confused. They were very clear about Ye Feng’s strength. Even Hong Jiajun was defeated by him.
However, his performance in this round was so bad that even they couldn’t understand it.
No matter what they thought, this was a foregone conclusion and could not be changed.
Now, they could only wait and see how their final trump card would play out.
Because Ye Feng was the one who opened the card, he had to show his trump card first.
He first took a look at the trump card in his hand, and his expression immediately changed. He did not show his card for a long time.
The man in the tuxedo held back his laughter. “Alright, stop dawdling. Show your cards.”
Ye Feng helplessly placed that card on the table. “8 of Diamonds!”
When the man in the tuxedo and the spectators saw his cards, they all had an expression that said, “I knew it!”
Ye Feng’s final cards were the 8 of Spades, 9 of Diamonds, 8 of Clubs, 10 of Hearts, and 8 of Diamonds. Because there were three identical cards, these types of cards were called three of a kind.
This card was only a little bigger than the two pairs and the scattered cards. It could be said to be… Rotten.
