If he had a pair of Queens in the hole and made quad Queens with the two Queens on the board, shoving in so much money, there’s no way he would give up at the last moment.
A full house, indeed, is not worth insisting on.
It’s truly regrettable to lose with a pair of Aces, but the onlookers all think folding was the wise move.
The real quad Queens were in his hands!
The guy with glasses, if nothing unexpected happened, must have had a straight flush!
To be willing to bet so much money on the last card and to actually have it turn out right!
High risk, high reward.
The chips in the pot must have broken a hundred million by now, right?
Song Chao Ge’s All-In was somewhat beyond Jiang Chen’s expectations.
Smith folded, and now only he and Song Chao Ge remained as players.
It was as if everyone was watching two Easterners bet against each other in this rare billion-dollar poker game!
"I don’t think so, with quad Queens, one has to at least reveal the opponent’s hole cards."
"I agree, having quad Queens and already having put in so much, there’s no way he could give up."
"But he has no chips left."
Just like the Englishman Smith, Jiang Chen, who had exchanged for thirty million US dollars back and forth, now had no chips left in front of him to continue calling.
"Mr. Song, please wait a moment, I’m out of chips..."
Most knew he couldn’t possibly give up, even if it was 90% certain that his opponent had a straight flush!
Such is the nature of gambling!
Or rather, human nature!
Jiang Chen turned to Li Shuru to say, but before he could finish, he heard Song Chao Ge speak in a pleasant tone, "No need, Mr. Jiang, let’s just reveal our hands."
What is sportsmanship?
He actually didn’t need Jiang Chen to raise any further.
Around them, many ladies—no, to be precise, rich matrons—were giving Song Chao Ge flirtatious looks.
Jiang Chen was also stunned for a moment, hesitated, then ultimately nodded, as if accepting the other’s kindness.
Although it went against the rules, as long as the players agreed, the croupier would not object.
"Please reveal your cards."
"Mr. Jiang, if I’m not mistaken, you must have a pair of Queens, right?"
Even if those black-framed glasses vastly limited his appeal, Song Chao Ge still became the most captivating man at the table at that moment.
With a smile on his face that enchanted many of the surrounding females, he slowly lifted the corner of his two hole cards as he spoke.
"Sorry, but I have a straight flush."
"Clubs 9, Clubs 8, a straight flush! It really is a straight flush!"
Even with prior suspicion, the reveal of Song Chao Ge’s hole cards still elicited gasps of amazement from those around.
These were more than just two pieces of paper; they decided the ownership of a hundred-million-dollar pot!
"What’s there to be smug about!" Xue Yali shouted inwardly, nearly unable to resist flipping over Jiang Chen’s hole cards herself.
Watching the cards spread out in front of Song Chao Ge, Jiang Chen was stunned, his heart sinking to ashes as if "seeking death."
[Lan Peizhi’s favor toward you -5]
His own hole cards hadn’t even been revealed yet!
Caught off guard by the fact that the other was also holding a straight flush, Jiang Chen quickly regained his composure.
"Mr. Song is truly impressive, bold enough to bet on the last club jack."
Song Chao Ge’s smile was warm, neither arrogant nor proud, "This is the charm of gambling and its true essence, isn’t it?"
Jiang Chen, who in everyone’s eyes had already lost everything, nodded in deep agreement.
"That’s right, great minds think alike."
Great minds think alike?
Song Chao Ge felt that the phrase sounded a bit odd.
Lan Peizhi, who had already lost interest, also looked toward Jiang Chen.
"Sorry, I also have a straight flush."
Before people could react, Jiang Chen revealed his hole cards in one swift motion.
It was not the expected pair of Queens.
But rather the Clubs Ace, Clubs King!
It really was a straight flush too!
"Oh-my-god! Am I seeing things?! It’s a royal flush!!!"
The scene erupted into chaos!
Song Chao Ge, who had always been like a gentleman, suddenly had his smile freeze and he yanked off his black frames, standing up abruptly and staring incredulously at those two Clubs Ace and Clubs King.
Lan Peizhi was also taken aback, slowly leaning back in the chair, her mouth curving into a slow, barely perceptible smile.
