The fourth update, already replaced, sorry~~~

...

The audience below sat upright in their seats, each of them waiting for the start of the gambling round.

Just now, Ye Huan shuffled the cards, and Qin Fang could recognize that the technique Ye Huan used was the formidable Guanyin Hand from the Qianmen Illusion Technique, which any expert in the casino could understand to be a very formidable technique.

However, the audience below did not grasp the truth, because in their eyes, Ye Huan's shuffling technique seemed quite ordinary, at most just slightly skilled, unaware that within that seemingly simple technique, each card had been switched tens of different positions.

And the entire process took just over ten seconds, which speaks volumes about how formidable the Guanyin Hand truly is.

"Now, I announce that the gambling match officially begins..."

Beyond the beautiful croupier dealing the cards, there was also an individual similar to a host present, tasked with supervision to prevent either party from cheating.

Cheating in a gambling house is a very serious matter. It seems Ye Huan is very confident in her abilities, not only wanting to win back Ye Ming, but also looking to take this opportunity to exact revenge on Qin Fang.

During last night's gambling match, though Ye Huan did not catch Qin Fang red-handed, she vaguely felt he might have cheated, albeit not overtly.

Arranging this live surveillance was precisely to catch Qin Fang cheating, and then... to sever the hand!

It must be said, this woman's strength is formidable, as are her wily calculations.

"For fairness, each round will use a new deck of poker cards, and before each round, a portion of the cards will be randomly discarded to eliminate any possibility of cheating!"

The on-site supervisor immediately introduced some of the rules of the gambling match, including this one.

Using a new deck was a given, but discarding a portion of the poker cards before dealing, that was more impressive.

This disposal involved a shredder beside them. By shredding these cards on-site, neither party knew what remained on the gambling table.

How many cards were randomly chosen and from which positions were decided by the croupier herself; maybe twenty cards would be discarded, or perhaps thirty. It was done just arbitrarily, perhaps even the croupier herself hadn't counted how many had been shredded.

In this way, even if a cheating expert memorized all the cards, such interference would totally scramble the order, indeed reducing the possibility of cheating.

However, hearing such rules caused Qin Fang to laugh. While it was true that Ye Huan implemented these measures to prevent him from cheating, viewed from another angle, she had actually sabotaged herself.

Ye Huan could recognize each card by marks, so it didn't matter to her what cards were shredded, as she could "see" every card on the table.

As for Qin Fang, it was the same; he too could see every card on the table...

Moreover, he had another advantage. If he were to sneak a card, it would be even less likely for anyone to notice! In this way, the rules actually worked more to Qin Fang's advantage.

"The first round begins..."

At the supervisor's command, the beautiful croupier randomly chose a batch of poker cards to shred, turning them into fine strips with nothing discernible on them, leaving perhaps a bit over twenty cards on the table.

All-in is one of the classic poker variations, just like Baccarat, and is one of the most played and highest-betting games in major casinos.

Although Qin Fang and Ye Huan's stakes were people, it was impossible to decide the winner in a single round; even Ye Huan couldn't guarantee a win in the first round.

So, both of them had a hundred chips, limited to two hours, and whoever won all the chips from the other first would be the winner. If it didn't end within two hours, the number of chips each had would be tallied, and the one with more chips would win.

But both were well aware that they were certain to attack relentlessly at any opportunity, and it was unlikely to come down to who had the most chips in the end.

The first round began, and the beautiful croupier started dealing cards.

In All-in, a total of five cards are dealt, starting with two cards, one face-up, one face-down.

Qin Fang's face-up card was a K, Ye Huan's was a Q, and neither looked at their face-down cards.

"Mr. Qin, your move..."

As Qin Fang's face-up card was higher, the beautiful croupier asked him to speak first.

"Ten..."

Qin Fang casually threw ten chips onto the table.

Each round's minimum bet is five chips per person, that is, a total of ten, meaning theoretically someone could lose all their chips within twenty rounds without following a bet.

"PASS!"

Ye Huan, however, simply passed without even a glance at her facedown card.

"Passing on the first hand, what is Fairy Ye up to..."

"Seriously, she didn't even look at her hole card!"

"Does this beauty even know how to play..."

Certainly, Ye Huan's move left many feeling quite frustrated. They had witnessed many a gambling match, including some with huge stakes, but had never seen someone forfeit without even peeking at their hole card.

The beautiful croupier and the gambling supervisor did not care about this. They were neutral parties; with Ye Huan's pass, one was responsible for distributing chips while the other handled the poker cards, bringing out a new deck for the opponents to verify.
