This posture...
They had always done so at home, but Anna felt not at ease on this occasion.
Jack put his hand around her. "It's time to start."
"Well, you two hug a little longer, or there will be no such a chance when I win. The result will be determined by one time." William made an eye to the croupier and let her deal cards.
It was called Texas Hold'em, with a flush at the top.
William had gambled with a woman, but he had never lost to a woman. And he would he did not pay attention to a little actress.
After the croupier dealt the cards, both of them took their two cards.
Anna got the A of hearts and the Q of spades, and William had a pair of 10.
They had their own advantage.
William let the croupier continue to deal, because the wager had been settled.
Then there came the public cards - the king of hearts, the five of diamonds, and a ten of clubs.
Could Anna get a flush? William might have three 10. In gambling, luck was important, so was psychology and tactics.
Jack was just holding Anna and looking at the card. Without any expression, he looked at Anna in the side. She indeed was familiar with this card. Had she played it with Black?
With that in mind, he was a little jealous.
But Anna said she would fight for him tonight, so he put down the jealousy.
Then it came the fourth public card - the ace of spades.
William still had a chance to win. Anna already had a pair of A's, and if the last card was not J, she would lose.
William smiled and said proudly, "I give you a chance to throw in the towel. There is only one card left."
Jack put his hand on the card table, "I will see the last card."
"Should it you that you win or I win?"
"You."
Anna nodded, ignored William's words, let the croupier continue to deal cards.
The last card was 3 of diamonds, which gave neither of them any gain.
Anna's palm was a little sweaty, she was nervous. Before showing the last card, she still had the chance to win, but now...
William smiled and turned over the card, it was no doubt that he had three 10.
Anna took the card more tightly. When she was about to look back at Jack, Jack put his hand on her arm and said, "Believe me, show the card."
Anna knew she only had a pair of A, she was lost, but she did not say anything in panic.
"A man is willing to concede defeat in gambling, Mr. Jiang, can’t you accept the result?" Seeing their expressions, William believed that he had won, clapped his hands and said, "Well, I'm going to get a presidential suite tonight."
"No more dreaming..."
Jack signaled to Anna to show the card. Anna found that the original cards became J and Q after she turned over the cards with right hands.
Why was her Ace changed to J!
Besides Jack, would there be a second person?
"Flush, we win."
