Chapter 441
Halftime break.
In the past, in tournaments hosted by the Gambling Association, players were not allowed to rest at will.
However, this time, the specifications and players' strength far exceeded any previous Poker King tournament, and the venue was a gambling ship sailing on the sea.
In order to allow the players to adjust their status and to take care of the audience's emotions, the organizers specially arranged a halftime break.
Of course, the time was short, only fifteen minutes.
After greeting the acquaintances around him, Zheng Jirong just went up to the deck to take a breath, and was excitedly hugged by Qiu Jie who ran over.
"Brother Rong, thank you! I finally avenged my master, myself, and Xinxin!"
Zheng Jirong smelled a faint smell of blood on Qiu Jie, but he didn't care. He just patted Qiu Jie on the back and said gently: "Why are you still thanking me? This is what a big brother should do."
Then he put his arm around Ajie's shoulders and chatted about family matters, "How is your family recently? I have a lot of things to do after returning to Hong Kong Island, so I haven't had time to visit you. I heard that Xinxin has already gone to school?"
When mentioning his daughter, Qiu Jie showed a happy smile on his face, but also a hint of helplessness: "I originally sent her to school with a face full of resistance, but after two days of school, she cried and made a fuss to go to school all day, and even asked me to accompany her to her classmates' homes on weekends. Play." Seeing the happiness on his face, Zheng Jirong said with relief: "This shows that Xinxin's psychological trauma has almost recovered." Then he didn't know what he thought of, and raised his eyebrows to Liang Wanting beside him and said: "Wanting, look around to see if there are any girls, if there is a suitable one, introduce one to our Ajie. This kid is just in his early thirties this year. It's okay that he is young and handsome, and his singing is not bad." "What did you sing in the nightclub last time? 'When you say you want to leave, I don't want to look back? ' Good guy, you made the ladies cry. " Seeing the embarrassed look on the boy's face, Zheng Jirong was about to tease him a few more times when a foreigner in a suit and glasses suddenly walked up to them. The foreigner greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Zheng, tonight's game is very exciting."
Zheng Jirong shook hands with him and said politely: "It's all thanks to the players. I just provided a place."
"I'm talking about this place." Looking around at the magnificent gambling boat, he sighed, "Even in Europe and the United States, it's hard to find a gambling boat as luxurious as the [Asia Star], and..."
He smiled, "I heard that almost half of the dignitaries in Hong Kong Island are here?"
Zheng Jirong nodded and said : "Almost. The title of God of Gamblers is still very valuable."
The foreigner looked at the sea again and asked, "Mr. Zheng, have we reached the high seas?"
"Yes, the high seas in Victoria Harbour are only 30 nautical miles. We arrived more than ten minutes ago."
"Hahaha, that's great!"
The foreigner smiled with satisfaction, and then looked at Zheng Jirong meaningfully, "My name is McDonald, and I look forward to our next meeting."
After saying that, McDonald nodded to Liang Wanting and Ajie, then bowed slightly and left.
Zheng Jirong watched his back, and a ripple appeared in his heart.
McDonald.
It sounds a bit familiar.
At this time, the break time had passed, and the warm-up music sounded in the casino. He shook his head and stopped thinking about this guy, and took Liang Wanting back into the casino.
On the gambling table, there were only four seats left out of the twelve seats that were originally full.
But the atmosphere was completely different from the tense and exciting imagined by outsiders. The postures of these four people were more relaxed than each other.
Gao Jin turned his jade ring leisurely and tasted chocolate occasionally; Lei Li chatted with the waitress with a smile on his face; Michael leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest; and Zhou Xingzu, the biggest dark horse of this tournament, was carefully counting the chips in front of him and counting how much money he could get with his fingers.
As the bell rang, the four of them sat up straight, and the peak showdown of this game was about to come.
At this time, the guests at the scene and the audience in front of the TV were all very alert, staring at the gambling table in the middle.
Whether it was Gao Jin or Lei Li, they had unparalleled popularity all over the world. As for Chen Jincheng, the old guy should make way for the younger generation at his age.
"Notarization!"
Just as the dealer was about to continue dealing cards, Lei Li suddenly raised his hand to signal, attracting everyone's attention.
"Regarding the next game, I have a small suggestion."
The notary with long flowing hair glanced at Zheng Jirong, and when he saw that he had no instructions, he said, "Please speak."
Lei Li walked to the dealer with a smile, picked up a deck of cards on the table, and quickly cut the cards with one hand while looking at the other three people at the table and said, "Gambling skills are ever-changing. It is a bit too one-sided to only use Stud to determine the winner. There are too many things to play in Texas Hold'em, Baccarat, Blackjack, and Big Two. How about we change to other ways of playing in the next game?"
Zhou Xingzu nodded indifferently after hearing this. Now he can see through anyone's bottom cards without using his power and can change other people's cards at will. There is no reason for him to lose.
Gao Jin also agreed with the same approval. After staying on the altar for so many years, his confidence is no less than these people.
As for Michael, who has always acted as a transparent person, he also nodded in support. The stud game itself is not very beneficial to his strengths. Now that he can switch to another game, it is not too late for him to be happy.
After a brief discussion, the referees unanimously agreed to Lei Li's proposal.
So the original stud game was changed to other methods, and each player suggested what gambling method should be used to determine the outcome.
At this time Lei Li continued to speak: "Gao Jin and Michael and I have played many gambling games over the years and are very familiar with each other. However, this is the first time I have met Mr. Zhou, so I want to talk to Mr. Zhou." Let’s make a bet first, and whoever loses will be eliminated directly. What do you think?”
After hearing Lei Li's suggestion, the atmosphere in the casino instantly became a little quiet.
What was originally a fierce duel between the four of them was unexpectedly reduced to a competition between two masters, Lei Li and Zhou Xingzu.
But after reacting, everyone quickly realized that such a duel seemed more interesting than simply playing Stud, so they all excitedly expressed their support.
Zhou Xingzu, who is not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, nodded and agreed, "Okay, I will play with you, the Supreme One, first, and you can tell me what we want to do!"
Lei Li smiled slightly and did not answer directly. Instead, he waved a deck of playing cards and scattered them like a rainbow on the gaming table. His movements were elegant and yet domineering.
"As a gambling master, quick eyesight and quick hands are compulsory courses. This round, I will compete with you to draw cards!"
He pointed at the cards on the table and said with blazing eyes: "When the whole deck of cards lands, draw five cards each according to the rules of Stud. Whoever points the highest number wins!"
As soon as this statement came out, there was a lot of discussion in the casino.
In this situation where there is no wind indoors, the time for a deck of cards to fall from the air to the ground will not exceed two seconds at most. In these two seconds, you must see all the cards clearly and grab the five largest ones. Cards, the difficulty is not that high.
Zhou Xingzu nodded and agreed after thinking for a short time. Although it was not as simple as playing stud and betting on the sieve cup, it did not trouble him.
Not long after, after a simple clearance, only Zhou Xingzu and Lei Li were left facing each other on both sides of the gambling table, concentrating on holding the poker in the dealer's hand.
Everyone off the court, including Zheng Jirong, watched this peak showdown with bated breath.
However, at this moment, Yao Long suddenly walked up to Zheng Jirong with a serious face and whispered a few words.
"What?"
After hearing what he said, Zheng Jirong was surprised: "Who else dares to rob my ship?!"
