Seeing Zhou Wang nod, Qiu Zeyu stepped forward, patted the shoulder of one of the players. The player turned his head in surprise to glance at Zhou Wang, and even though he looked a bit reluctant, he still got up and gave up his seat.
The maid beside Zhou Wang helped pull out the chair. After Zhou Wang sat down, a cigar was passed to him from the side.
"Thank you."
"My name is Jiang Minghao. Nice to meet you."
After Zhou Wang handed the cigar to the maid behind him to cut, the young man smiled and extended his hand to Zhou Wang.
Zhou Wang looked at him, probably not yet thirty years old. He had a deep demeanor, not very handsome, but his eyes were sharp.
"Nice to meet you... Zhou Wang."
Zhou Wang shook hands with him.
"Mr. Zhou, it’s your turn to look at your cards."
Jiang Minghao didn’t directly say why he was looking for Zhou Wang, but instead smiled and pointed at the two cards just dealt in front of Zhou Wang.
Zhou Wang wasn’t in a hurry; upon hearing, he picked up his two cards to take a look.
He glanced at it; the blind levels on the table were 200 and 500, so he casually picked up the chips on the table and tossed them out: "Raise, two thousand."
"It seems Mr. Zhou got good cards right from the start..."
Jiang Minghao also took a look at his hole cards, then smiled: "But my cards aren’t bad either, let’s raise again... five thousand."
The other players at the table all folded their cards, and the action returned to Zhou Wang. He smiled too, "I’m all in."
"What?"
Jiang Minghao was obviously taken aback.
"I said I’m all in."
Zhou Wang pushed all the chips in front of him, then patted his head, "Oh, I forgot, in Texas Hold’em, it’s supposed to be called ’all in’... Hmm, I’m all in."
"Buddy, what you pushed out is chips totaling one million..."
Qiu Zeyu behind couldn’t help but remind him.
"Oh, is it that much?"
Zhou Wang seemed to just realize the issue.
"You just sat down, so you might not be clear; each person starts with one million chips. Perhaps you could take them back and act again. I think Mr. Jiang wouldn’t mind either..."
"It’s not a problem, one million is one million, I still go all in."
Zhou Wang shook his head with a smile.
Jiang Minghao looked at his cards again upon seeing this, then smiled: "It seems Mr. Zhou has very strong cards, I’ll fold."
After Jiang Minghao tossed his cards, Zhou Wang nodded while collecting chips pushed over by the croupier: "You figured it out, my hand is indeed not bad."
Saying this, Zhou Wang directly flipped his cards to show everyone, and it turned out his two hole cards were a pair of 2s.
Everyone’s expression became a bit strange, especially Jiang Yisen, who had just walked in and sat next to Jiang Minghao, because when he sat down, he clearly saw his big brother’s hole cards were a pair of Js...
"Mr. Zhou... Turns out you’re an expert."
Jiang Minghao squinted his eyes, smiling lightly.
"The cards were dealt well... Let’s continue."
Zhou Wang wasn’t sure what Jiang Minghao wanted with him, but since the other didn’t mention it, he naturally wouldn’t proactively ask, so he joyfully continued playing cards.
In the second round, another player raised three thousand, with two players calling. When the turn reached Zhou Wang, he bit the cigar handed over by the maid behind him and tossed a chip onto the table.
"All in."
After several players looked at each other, they all chose to fold.
Seeing this, Zhou Wang laughed and once again showed his cards, "I heard someone say this hand can be played as a pair of Aces, so I just tried it randomly."
"..."
To everyone’s speechlessness, this time Zhou Wang’s hole cards were Texas Hold’em’s worst starting hand, none other than "27."
"All in!"
"I’m all in..."
"All bet!"
For the following seven or eight rounds, no one saw the community cards dealt by the dealer; they only heard Zhou Wang calling those words over and over with his two hole cards.
And each time Zhou Wang would show his cards, all were various meaningless non-suited cards, the largest being just a pair of 4s.
This isn’t an expert, it’s clearly a big dumbfish!
Everyone couldn’t help but secretly complain.
After seven or eight times like this, finally in the newly starting round, when Zhou Wang casually glanced at his cards and once again pushed "All in," a player shouted fiercely.
"Call!"
"Call" in Texas Hold’em means to match the bet. The other player pushed all the chips in front of him, then showed his cards, which were a pair of Queens.
This is already a very strong hand in Texas Hold’em, one of the strongest starting hands, but seeing it, Zhou Wang remained calm and then cheerfully flipped his cards.
"I seem to be just a bit larger than yours..."
Seeing Zhou Wang reveal a pair of Kings, that player’s face went pale; somewhat surprised, everyone marveled at Zhou Wang’s luck of just getting a big hand that others ran into.
Under the gaze of the player called "Xiao Wang," the croupier quickly dealt five community cards, but he didn’t see the hoped-for Queen, thus all his chips went to Zhou Wang.
The game continued, Zhou Wang as always went all in whenever the mood struck, but because of that one KK hand earlier, no one dared underestimate his cards anymore and could only watch as he kept taking their chips.
Finally, as another new round started, when they heard "all in" again, everyone raised their heads in surprise, because this time it wasn’t Zhou Wang who called the all-in first, but Jiang Minghao, who had been silent for quite some time.
