Pokémon: Master System.

Xia Yu's hand contained a pair of 5s.

All four players had decent hands. Fukuyama and Natsumi had pairs, so they naturally couldn't fold. The other couple had cards of the same suit and a straight, so they also had to take a gamble.

…………

In Xia Yu's God-like view, the next three community cards were the 3 of Hearts, the 4 of Diamonds, and the 5 of Hearts.

In this way, the cards in the hands of the man and woman formed A2345 and ** respectively.

】

Xia Yu's hand was not bad either, now consisting of three 5s, while Fu Shan's hand consisted of three 3s.

A straight is greater than three of a kind, so the pair of men and women has the best hand, Xia Yu is third and Fu Shan is fourth.

But the most surprising thing is that the fourth community card was the Jack of Diamonds, and the fifth community card was the 4 of Spades!

The five community cards are 3, 4, 5, J, and 4.

In the final hand, Xia Yu's hand suddenly became the largest "full house" among the four players present, consisting of three 5s and a pair of 4s, which surpassed Fu Shan's three 3s and a pair of 4s.

In the rules of Texas Hold'em, a full house is ranked higher than a flush, a straight, and three of a kind. Naturally, a full house is higher than the straights of the other two players.

Apart from four of a kind and a straight flush, a full house is almost unbeatable.

This is the kind of game Xia Yu wants to see: his hand is the strongest, but the other players' hands are not weak either.

Xia Yu made a decision in his heart: he was going to eat his way to a fat man, and the pig he had fattened up was finally ready to be slaughtered.

He believed that in such a game, no one would choose to back down.

Especially since the couple both got straights and Fukuyama got three of a kind, this would almost certainly be a winning situation in a normal gambling game.

As for four of a kind and a straight flush, it's almost impossible to achieve without cheating.

Xia Yu was the first to speak. He looked directly at everyone present. After thinking for a long time, he decided to hold off and only call the bets without raising, so as not to scare away the easy targets. He would make a big bet after the first round of community cards were dealt.

"Two chips."

"Follow."

"Follow."

"Follow."

The other three also called without exception, which is quite a rare scene, with all four calling at the same time.

After everyone called, the dealer dealt three community cards with a blank expression. These three community cards were the 3 of hearts, 4 of diamonds, and 5 of hearts that Xia Yu had seen.

When those three cards were dealt, everyone's hearts tightened.

At this point, all four players have strong hands; the lowest is three of a kind, and the highest is a straight.

With a hand like that, no one would choose to fold.

Therefore, everyone chose to raise their bets, and the couple even went so far as to raise their bets even higher, increasing their stakes once again.

It is rare for all four players to be present at the same time after the community cards are dealt.

Clearly, no one expected this to happen, which only means one thing: everyone had a better hand in this game. This caused everyone to frown, as it seemed likely that someone would be eliminated early after this hand.

After everyone raised, the dealer dealt the fourth card, a Jack of Diamonds.

This card cannot form a pair with the previously dealt 3, 4, and 5, nor can it form a straight with these three cards; it can be considered an insignificant card.

At this point, the couple who have a straight have the highest apparent winning probability.

Given that no one's hand can form a flush, four of a kind, or a full house, the man's hand...

】

The highest-ranking hand on the table is A2345, which is the second-highest in the woman's hand.

Therefore, neither of them withdrew at this point, but instead chose to continue raising their bets.

Having received three of a kind, Xia Yu, upon seeing his final cards, naturally had no reason to back down and chose to raise without the slightest hesitation.

His quick decision caused everyone to frown slightly, secretly speculating about Xia Yu's hand.

Did he also get **?

】

?

With all three players raising, Fukuyama was under the most pressure. Although three of a kind is almost the highest hand in a normal game, the 345 on the board put him under immense pressure.

Furthermore, since the other players did not withdraw, they likely had a straight, and three of a kind is no match for a straight, so his chances of winning are very low.

He appeared extremely nervous at that moment, caught in a dilemma.

On the one hand, they are reluctant to give up their good cards and the large sum of chips they just threw away; on the other hand, they are worried about losing even more, especially if others are likely to get a straight.

Fukuyama stared at the community cards, his eyes darting around as he frantically thought. Having lost his greatest asset, he could only rely on his gambling skills.

Even if the other three players all have straights, Fukuyama isn't without a chance of winning. If he draws any one of the 3, 4, 5, or J cards on his last card, he can form a four-of-a-kind or a full house to win the straight.

He still has a sliver of a chance of winning.

After much deliberation, Fukuyama finally decided to take the gamble and chose to call.

As a result, after three consecutive rounds of betting, the four players present have bet almost all of their chips, causing the pot to reach an exaggerated level. At the same time, the most important thing is that no one has folded yet.

The surrounding spectators were also incredibly tense. Such a high-stakes bet, even if they didn't participate, was a visual feast and an ultimate enjoyment just to watch.

Based on an exchange rate of 1 million per chip, the current pot has already exceeded 100 million.

In a betting game, the winner will undoubtedly advance directly to the next round.

Everyone held their breath, quietly waiting for the dealer to deal the cards again.

Seeing that everyone had placed their bets, the dealer started dealing the cards again, moving on to the river card and revealing the last card!

4 of Spades.

This outcome caused the couple's expressions to change drastically.

A pair appeared in the community deck, which was the last thing they wanted to see.

Their cards were already fixed; they could only be **

】

The straight and the straight of A2345. But the 4 that was revealed changed the game.

只要福山和夏羽手上有对3、对4、对5、对或者一张4带3、5、J中的任意一张，他们都会输掉这一局。

Judging from Fukuyama and Xia Yu's performances, it's clear they both have strong hands, likely three of a kind or a straight. If they form a full house, they'll lose.

Should we fold?

Both of them were caught in a dilemma, because they had already staked most of their wealth. If they stopped now, not only would they not win the huge pot, but all their previous investments would also be for naught.

Want to take a gamble?

Time ticked by, and everyone knew the importance of this gamble, so no one urged the two of them.

After thinking for a few minutes, the woman who had A2345 finally decided to fold.

Knowing that everyone present had strong hands, her lowest straight was practically useless, so she decisively chose to fold and cut her losses.

And obtained **

】

The man who had straight, after seeing the woman abstain, thought carefully for a long time and finally chose to go all in, pushing out all the chips in front of him.

This scene caused everyone present to have a racing heart and heavy breathing.

After the man made his choice, it was Xia Yu's turn next.

Although Xia Yu knew that he had the best hand in the game, he did not choose to go all in. Instead, he pretended to think about it, looking at the community cards with a serious expression.

Xia Yu put on a show of acting skills. His purpose in doing so was to create a false impression for Fukuyama!

It creates the illusion that he has a straight!

His decisive raises in the first two rounds were already setting the stage; his goal was to give Fukuyama the feeling that his hand was very strong and that he couldn't possibly lose.

Before the last 4 is revealed, theoretically the highest possible hand is a straight.

】

Xia Yu raised the bet without hesitation, precisely to make Fukuyama believe that he had the highest possible straight.

】

.

Xia Yu's current behavior is as if he's worried someone else will get a full house, hesitating and giving the impression that he only has a straight.

Given the current situation, if Xia Yu gets the full house, he will definitely have to call or raise the bet.

If Xia Yu continues to decisively raise his bet, Fukuyama is very likely to guess that Xia Yu has a full house. Although Fukuyama also got a full house, it was the smallest one: three 3s.

When Fukuyama, who gets the smallest full house, guesses Xia Yu's hand, there is still a slight possibility that he might choose to back down or fold. Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, Xia Yu deliberately hesitated for a long time before choosing to go all in.

Besides luck, gambling is also about human nature and mindset.
