Chapter 46 It's Orlando's Way of Doing Things
Lydia was so furious when she heard the words.
Her lips wobbled, but in the end, she still failed to utter a complete sentence. She then looked toward Orlando, asking for his help with her eyes.
Orlando, however, looked leisurely and nonchalantly rubbed the cards with his fingers. It happened to be his turn to bet. Still, he casually threw some of his chips into the pot. It was twenty million!
This action immediately drew the attention of those onlookers, which indirectly saved Lydia.
Lydia heaved a sigh of relief. But she still had lingering fear. Noticing that no one was paying attention to her, she shot a fierce glare at Penny.
Penny slightly knitted her brows and ignored her. She put her fingertips on the cards before her as if she had been completely immersed in this game.
Since Orlando had offered a raise of twenty million, according to the rules, those who wanted to bet later should offer chips equal to or more than twenty million. There were almost two billion in the pot.
The dealer looked a bit excited. When this round was over, he finally turned over three community cards.
They were Heart A, Heart 10, and Diamond 5.
The person sitting on the right of Penny had folded and it was now Penny's turn.
She leaned back against the chair, not looking at anyone, counted forty million from the chips before her, and threw them into the pot. She had doubled the chips! "Forty million."
She who only dared to bet one million in the beginning had actually offered a raise of forty million in this round!
Penny noticed that even Orlando had raised his head and his gaze stopped on her for a second.
But he withdrew his gaze soon.
Everyone was confused about what cards she had now.
Ryder had two 5 in his hands. Combined with the community cards on the table, he could make a "three of a kind", which ranked higher than any "pairs". He could probably win this bet.
He glanced at Penny with a cold sneer.
"Can you recognize the cards?"
"What do you think of it, Mr. Cain?"
Penny blinked and used a high-rising terminal, which made her sound a bit cunning as she said, "I never plan to give money to others. Maybe such an amount of money is nothing to you guys, but for me, I have to work for my whole life to earn this."
After all, it was twenty million.
Ryder narrowed his eyes. A subtle sense of crisis rose in his heart.
This woman was reluctant to bet even only one million, but now, she had actually offered a raise of forty million. What cards did she have?
However, when remembering that he had a "three of a kind", Ryder called with forty million without hesitation.
It was now Orlando's turn. He casually pushed his chips into the pot.
It was one billion!
There was immediately a commotion in the house. There were only three community cards now but Orlando alone had betted more than one billion. How many chips would be in the pot when this round was
over?
Everyone felt curious. The onlookers, who were originally in heated discussions, all became silent and began to watch the game concentratively.
The dealer had experienced many big events, but right at this moment, he also had sweat on his palms. Watched by everyone, he turned over the fourth community card.
It was Spade 9.
The bet continued. As Orlando had raised the amount, people after him had to call with no less than one billion.
Under such circumstances, money seemed to become worthless papers.
Many people thought Penny would give up this time, but what surprised them was that she called without hesitation.
Even Ryder was in a dilemma this time. It was one billion after all.
How could Penny, who was from a poor family, be so decisive?
He pressed his lips tightly and couldn't help but ask warily, "What cards do you have?"
Penny chuckled and reminded him, "Mr. Cain, according to the rules, I can't tell my opponent any information about my cards." Ryder was lost for words.
He looked embarrassed. It was just one billion. He wouldn't flinch since this woman also had the guts to bet.
He raised his hand and pushed chips of one billion into the pot. However, he still paused a bit when doing this, which revealed his nervousness.
In a blink, the chips in the pot had increased to nearly twelve billion.
When it was Orlando's turn, he threw his two cards in front of the dealer, which meant that he had given up.
He acted as if he offered one billion in the last round just to make this more chaotic. Then he would watch this show in a completely leisurely manner. This was Orlando's way of doing things.
The number of chips in the pot had reached nearly twelve billion, but only Penny and Ryder were left at the table.
The dealer turned over the fifth community card. It was Heart J.
It was the last round, and still, it was Penny's turn.
With a smile, Penny pushed all her chips into the pot and said, "All in."
She had around eight billion left and "all in" meant that the other person must bet eight billion or even more.
The onlookers got excited again. They couldn't help but discuss this and began to guess what cards Penny had.
"What cards does she have?"
"She was very cautious in the first four games and only dared to lose one billion for each game. But in this game, she directly betted eight billion. She will probably win. Among the five community cards, three are respectively Heart J, Hear 10, and Heart A. Could it be that she has a royal flush?"
"How could it be? A royal flush is one in a million. Isn't she a green hand?"
