1129 Revealing the Cards
The other three people at the poker table, including the young man in the striped suit, had also figured that they couldn’t afford to offend Lucas, and their bodies were immediately drenched in cold sweat.
They were merely obeying the instructions of the higher-ups of Club Illuma and trying to make Lucas lose a lot of money. But if they really ended up offending a big shot like Lucas, they would be in dire trouble in the future!
Even if he won, they would probably suffer.
At the thought of this, the young man in the striped suit began trembling in fear.
He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead and said to Lucas respectfully and deferentially, “Sir… How about this? You should still have 137 million dollars on hand. Why don’t you just bet with this amount to turn the cards over?”
Lucas glanced at the young man in the striped suit coldly. “Do you think I’m short of a few dozen million?”
He turned his head and said to the attendant of Club Illuma next to him, “I said to get me 1.5 billion dollars worth of chips.”
The reason Lucas was betting so much in Club Illuma was that he knew the other people at the table were professional gamblers trained by Club Illuma and that all their chips were from the club. In other words, the club would pay for all their bets.
He was certain that Ashton would definitely show up after Club Illuma lost more than a billion dollars!
Lucas never even had to think about whether or not he would lose this game.
As long as he wanted to win, he would definitely succeed.
After hearing what Lucas said, the attendant seemed to be put in a difficult spot. He stammered, “Uh… I’m sorry, Sir. We… we have never had anyone exchange for 1.5 billion chips at once. The most you can exchange for is 300 million!”
There wasn’t really an exchange limit in Club Illuma. But 1.5 billion dollars was an unprecedented amount since its establishment.
Besides, the attendant had just received orders from his superior through his earpiece, so he could only reply to Lucas in this way.
After all, if they really gave Lucas 1.5 billion worth of chips as he requested, the other players at the poker table would have to bet at least 3 billion dollars each to continue playing.
Even Club Illuma wouldn’t be able to afford such a terrifying sum of money.
It wasn’t that they didn’t have the money, but rather, this amount was too frighteningly high. If something went wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable!
“Then give me 300 million dollars worth of chips!” Lucas said to the attendant.
Soon, the attendant came over again with 300 gold chips, and Lucas swiped his card again.
After getting the chips, Lucas pushed out all the chips he had, a total of 437 million dollars. “All in!”
By now, Lucas already knew that Club Illuma didn’t dare to continue gambling with him, so this was his last bet.
The amount of money on the table had already reached a very terrifying amount of more than two billion dollars!
And that was if the other three players at the table all folded.
If the three other players didn’t dare to call again, all the money would belong to Lucas alone. Excluding the money he had exchanged for chips, he would have made a net profit of close to 1.4 billion dollars!
Being able to earn so much money in a day was definitely enviable!
But if the trio refused to give up, then they would each need to come up with 874 million dollars, for 2.622 billion dollars in total!
If two of them gave up and only one of them called, he had to fork out 874 million dollars before the cards could be opened. Otherwise, it would be considered a fold, and all chips would go to Lucas.
How could they possibly allow this?
After the three young men looked at each other for a while and then signaled someone in the crowd, one of them bit the bullet and said, “Fine, 874 million dollars. Open the cards!”
If they hadn’t received approval from Club Illuma in advance, he would have never dared to bet so much.
Fortunately, their bets would be paid for by Club Illuma.
Otherwise, the three of them would have probably died of heart attacks from excessive tension and nervousness!
The total pot on the table had reached an unprecedented amount of 2.886 billion dollars!
This amount was enough to make anyone’s heart explode!
Moreover, this was probably going to be the most amount of money the crowd would ever see at a poker table!
Now, the thing everyone was the most concerned about was who the winner of this staggering pot would be!
“I’ll open first! Ace of diamonds!” One of them took the lead to unveil his card, revealing an eye-catching red ace.
This card immediately caused an uproar. There were only three better cards in a deck.
“It’s my turn next. King of hearts!” Another man also revealed his own card, and again, it was a rather astonishing card. But it caused less of an uproar than the ace did.
At this moment, the young man in the striped suit suddenly slammed his card on the table and shouted, “Joker!”
As he unveiled his card, the surrounding crowd couldn’t help inhaling sharply!
They hadn’t expected at all that the young man in the striped suit would have a Joker card!
The three of them were holding the king of hearts, the ace of diamonds, and a Joker card, which was quite incredible!
Unless Lucas could get the other Joker, he wouldn’t be able to turn the situation around.
But among the 54 cards in a deck of cards, there was only one other Joker, making it a 1/51 chance. Besides, he had already gotten it during the last game, and his chances of getting another Joker were almost negligible!
It was almost impossible for such a thing to happen!
At this point, no one believed that Lucas could still win this game.
