Chapter 105: Poker Shark

The entry threshold of 10,000 yuan and the prize money of 10 million yuan. If calculated in this way, the number of participants is about 1,000. According to the general rules, 10% or about 100 people will enter the money circle and share the 10 million prize. , the first place will probably get 17.5%, which is 1.75 million champion bonus, and the lowest can only get 0.17%, which is 17,000 yuan, and it can realize profit after entering the money circle.

Now that the first hand is in hand, Shen Long can know that his hole cards are K of hearts and 6 of clubs without flopping. This hand is not worth much in Texas Hold'em. Let's look at the first five cards in the dealer's hand. , are 10, 8 of clubs, J of hearts, 4 of spades and 2 of diamonds, no good cards can be made up.

Shen Long pretended to look at the hole cards for a while, and then chose to discard the cards. After the cards were dealt, he regretted it. The dealer actually dealt out a K of spades, which made him a KK pair. is the largest.

Oops, I just played on the online platform before, and I almost forgot, in fact, the dealer has to sell a card every time the community cards are dealt, that is, the top card is drawn first, and then dealt Three community cards, another card is burned, the turn card is dealt, and finally the top card is burned and the river card is dealt.

To see clearly the final result of the game, you can't just look at the top five cards, but you should open the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th and 8th cards.

In the second hand, Shen Long learned his lesson. After getting the pair of 22, he decisively examined the five target cards, and found that the river card was another 2, which allowed him to make three 2s. Then he looked at the other cards on the table. The player's hole card, his own three-of-a-kind 2 is said to be the second highest, but the player with the largest hole card is very small. Although he can get a flush in the end, he probably won't follow to the end.

Shen Long chose to raise without hesitation, and another player with A and J cards also raised. Seeing that the two players in front of him had raised their bets, the player with 3 and 9 of spades hesitated. Choose to call.

After one lap, three community cards were revealed, A of Diamonds, 8 of Clubs, and 10 of Spades. Through perspective, Shen Long clearly saw that the heartbeat of the player holding A and J accelerated. He hit a pair of A, and that The first player with 3 and 9 of spades was quite disappointed, as the probability that the last two community cards were all spades was too small.

Shen Long pretended to hesitate for a moment, raised his bet slightly, and gave others a feeling that these three community cards were useful to him, but not so useful. Maybe he had a 10 or 8 in his hand, which happened to match the community cards. The cards made a pair.

A and J didn't want to scare Shen Long away so quickly. He just called and didn't raise. The 3 and 9 of spades chose to fold. In addition to those players who folded before, only Shen Long was left on the table. Long and A, J two.

The turn card was the 5 of spades, which didn't do much for them. Shen Long chose to check, A and J chose to raise, Shen Long hesitated for a moment and called

Up; the last river card was dealt, 2 of spades, and the folded 3 and 9 of spades slapped the table in frustration. If he persisted until now, he would be the winner.

Seeing the cards A and J, he was completely relieved. According to his guess, Shen Long had no cards that could beat him. After raising and calling, the two showed their cards, and Shen Long's three of a kind defeated The opponent's pair of A, A, J suddenly became stupid.

"Is there a mistake! How could you play like this with a hole card of 2?" A and J were depressed and speechless, and the 2 that he thought was insignificant at first became the key to defeating him.

"Hey, it's frustrating to fold too early in the last one, let's fight this one." Shen Long shrugged.

In the next game, he deliberately portrayed himself as an aggressive player who likes to participate in gambling games. Regardless of whether he has cards in his hand or not, he likes to hold on until the community cards come out. During this period, he loses and wins, but in general , with his "luck", he still won more.

The competition was held in three days. After the first day of the competition, Shen Long ranked 232 among all the contestants.

This position is enough to enter the second round, but it is not optimistic whether he can enter the money circle on the last day. If he wants to persist until the third day, he must at least enter the top 108. His current chip count is still far from 108. small gap.

After returning to the room to rest for one night, he got up the next day and went to the gym for some exercise, and then wandered around the streets of Macau. After tasting the local specialties, Shen Long returned to the casino to start the next day's game.

In today's game, Shen Long's luck seems to be better. He hit the card he wanted on the river a few times and gained a lot of chips. Of course, there were times when he tried to steal chickens and was caught. In chips, Shen Long ranked 62nd, lucky to squeeze into the money circle on the last day.

After these two days of competition, many seasoned gamblers have seen Shen Long's roots. This is a rookie player who likes to take risks. He has only come to this point by virtue of "luck". No such good luck, once a certain shark... is a high-end player in the game of Texas Hold'em... he will definitely die a terrible death.

However, what makes them regret is that Shen Long's luck seems to have been blessing him. On the third day of the game, he was still very lucky. The hole cards of the entry value became a straight, two pairs, and a lot of chips were harvested.

"Fack!" A shark who had achieved good results in Texas Hold'em in Las Vegas, watched Shen Long hit a straight on the last card, beat his two pair, and wiped out his chips , I was so angry that I exploded, Ma Dan, you only have variegated 3 and 6 in your hand, have you been following it for so long?

"Man, before the river card comes out, any hole card has a chance to win." His friend, a young American with short hair, comforted him.

"Tom, help me teach this guy a lesson at the final table!" Shark patted the short-haired young man on the shoulder vigorously.

"Don't worry, I will." Even if he didn't say it, Tom still wanted to beat Shen Long. After all, he came for the championship, and if he wanted to win the championship, he had to beat Shen Long.

Shen Long almost entered the final table with the eighth place, while the young man named Tom held the first place with nearly ten times his chips.

The game of the final table officially started, and the players entered the arena one after another. When Tom entered the arena, the surrounding audience burst into applause, as if welcoming a certain superstar.

"Who is he? Such a flamboyant player?" Shen Long turned his head and asked the player next to him.

"You don't even know him? Tom Dewan! The hottest professional Texas Hold'em player in Macau in recent years!"
