The Two Heroes of the Ye Family

Chapter 357 The gambling begins

I followed the young beauty to the VIP room on the second floor, where there were only two middle-aged men chatting.

Ye Xiaoyang asked:

"Xiangzi, didn't you say Texas Hold'em is fun only when played with six people? Why only these few?"

"Sir, please wait here for a moment. I will immediately arrange for someone to notify the other three gamblers.

"What would you like to drink, sir? We have sake, coffee, brandy imported from France, and red wine."

"Give me a glass of warm water."

"Yes, sir. Please wait a moment."

After a while, a young beauty brought Ye Xiaoyang a glass of warm water on a tray.

Ye Xiaoyang took the warm water and said thank you.

About twenty minutes later, Fujiwara Kaori led three people into the VIP room.

There were two more men, one was middle-aged, another was a young man, and the other was a young woman.

When they came in, each of the three men was carrying a large suitcase.

Six people sat down around the oval table, and Fujiwara Kaori stood at the dealing position, acting as the dealer.

She looked at Ye Xiaoyang and asked:

"Sir, what's your name?"

"Ms. Xiangzi, call me Miyamoto."

Fujiwara Kaori started from her right and introduced everyone, with her palm facing the first person on her right.

"This is Honda-kun, to the right of Honda is Ishikawa-kun, and to the right of Ishikawa-kun is Miyamoto-kun.

To the right of Miyamoto-kun is Matsushita-kun, this is Ms. Muto, and lastly, this is Mr. Yamamoto."

After that, she did not continue talking, but left time for the six gamblers to get to know each other.

After a while, Fujiwara Kaori began to explain the rules of playing Texas Hold'em.

"Everyone, each bet starts with 10 chips.

The big blind is 50 chips and the small blind is 20 chips. If you look at the cards and call, you have to double up.

To be fair, the maximum amount you can call is 500 million chips, but you can call unlimited times.

Did you hear that clearly?"

The six people nodded to show that they understood.

Fujiwara Kaori continued:

"Mr. Miyamoto has over 4000 million chips in front of him.

How many chips do the others need now? I'll arrange for staff to come over and exchange the chips right away."

Honda and Ishikawa were the two middle-aged men that Ye Xiaoyang saw when he first entered the VIP room.

They each took out a check from their pockets and placed it in front of themselves.

The middle-aged man named Honda spoke first:

"This is a check from the Bank of East Asia for 2000 million yen. Your casino can call to confirm."

After speaking, he stopped talking.

At this time, the middle-aged man named Ishikawa pointed to the check in front of him and said:

"This is a check from the Bank of East Asia for 3000 million yen. Please send a professional to verify it."

Next, the young man named Matsushita opened his suitcase, which contained a box of US dollars.

He said:

“There are $300 million in the box. Your casino can arrange for professionals to come and count the money.

First, exchange $200 million worth of chips for me."

When it was Ye Xiaoyang's turn, he quickly said:

"Ms. Xiangzi! Since all the wealthy customers bring their money directly to the VIP room, I can't go in without any money.

Please also pack the US dollars corresponding to the chips in front of me in a suitcase and place it in the VIP room."

"Of course, Miyamoto-kun.

The gambling game lasts for two hours. After the game, the winners and losers exchange chips on the spot, and then each person takes away cash.

Ye Xiaoyang finished speaking.

It was Ms. Muto's turn to speak:

"There are 200 million U.S. dollars in the box in front of me. Please help me exchange it for 4000 million chips."

The last middle-aged man named Yamamoto said:

"I have $120 million in my suitcase. Please help me exchange it for 2400 million chips."

While waiting for the staff, Ye Xiaoyang silently calculated their respective chips in his mind.

5000 million yen, 620 million US dollars, plus more than 200 million US dollars in front of him, a total of more than 1000 million US dollars.

This number surprised him a little.

The door opened and four staff members walked in. The gamblers who needed chips began to exchange them.

After the chip exchange was completed, two staff members were left to guard the funds on site, including the 200 million US dollars that Ye Xiaoyang mentioned.

The Texas Hold'em game officially begins.

Six people each throw 10 chips into the pot.

The first one was Honda Oyama, who was the small blind and directly threw 20 chips into the pot.

Ichiro Ishikawa directly threw 50 chips into the pot.

Fujiwara Kaori began to deal the cards. She first dealt a hole card to each person in order, with the cards face down.

After one round, she dealt a second hole card to each person in order, still face down.

Fujiwara Kaori looked at Ishikawa Ichiro and said:

"Ishikawa-kun, do you need a raise?"

"Pass."

Fujiwara Kaori turned to look at Matsushita Goro and said:

"Matsushita-kun, it's your turn to speak."

Matsushita Goro said without looking at the cards:

"Call the blinds for 50."

After saying that, he threw 50 chips into the pot.

When it was Ye Xiaoyang's turn, he also did not look at the cards. He took the initiative to speak without waiting for Fujiwara Kaori to speak:

"Call the blinds for 50."

After saying the same thing, he threw 50 chips into the pot.

When it was Ms. Muto's turn to speak, she threw 100 million chips into the pot without saying a word.

She has seen her cards.

Finally, it was Yamamoto Kumaji's turn to speak. He threw the two cards in front of him into the pot and folded.

Fujiwara Kaori said:

"Please let number one Honda-kun speak."

"Call the blinds."

After saying that, he threw another 30 chips into the pot.

At the end of the round, Fujiwara Kaori directly dealt three flip cards in front of herself.

They are 9 of spades, 8 of clubs, and J of hearts.

It was Ichiro Ishikawa's turn to speak in the big blind position, and he simply looked over his two hole cards.

Shouted: "Pass."

It was Goro Matsushita's turn to speak. He also looked at his two hole cards, which were the 8 of Hearts and the 6 of Diamonds.

He also shouted: "Pass."

It was Ye Xiaoyang's turn to speak. Just like the previous two, Ye Xiaoyang looked at his hole cards, which were the 9 of hearts and the 8 of hearts.

He raised directly to 200 million chips.

When it was Ms. Muto's turn to speak, she had already looked at her own cards and directly called the bet of 200 million chips.

But she didn't raise.

It was Honda Koyama's turn in the small blind again. He also chose to look at his hole cards and folded directly after looking at them.

Ichiro Ishikawa and Goro Matsushita also chose to fold.

Fujiwara Kaori directly flipped the card over, which was the 4 of diamonds.

When it was Ye Xiaoyang's turn to speak, Ye Xiaoyang directly raised the bet by 300 million chips.

Seeing Ye Xiaoyang raise, Ms. Muto folded directly.

There were 1060 million chips in the pot, and Ye Xiaoyang received them all in front of him.

Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and Ye Xiaoyang was already familiar with the rules of Texas Hold'em.

When playing Texas Hold'em, the main thing is to remember the order of all the cards after the dealer shuffles them.

This way you can judge the cards in front of each person, which tests a person's memory.

If the memory is average, the gamblers' psychological quality will be tested, otherwise there will be no such thing as bluffing.

So far, Ye Xiaoyang still has 4200 million chips, and has neither won nor lost much.

The other five people didn't win or lose much.

Once again it was Honda Koyama's turn as the small blind and Ishikawa Ichiro as the big blind.

However, this time Ichiro Ishikawa chose to directly raise the blinds to 100 million chips.

It was Goro Matsushita's turn to speak, and he called the blind bet of 100 million.

When Ye Xiaoyang spoke, he didn't look at his cards and directly chose to raise the blinds to 200 million chips.

Ms. Muto looked at Ye Xiaoyang and said:

"Miyamoto-kun is becoming more and more confident! I like men with boldness. Call the blinds for 200 million."

Ye Xiaoyang ignored the other party.

It was Yamamoto Kumaji's turn to speak. He also didn't look at his cards and chose to call the blind bet of 200 million.

Speaking to Honda Koyama in the small blind, he also chose to call the blind of 200 million.

It was Ichiro Ishikawa's turn to speak. He chose not to look at his cards and directly raised the blinds to 200 million.

Goro Matsushita also chose to call the blind bet of 200 million.

At this time, Fujiwara Kaori dealt three flip cards in front of her, namely the 3 of spades, the 5 of spades, and the 8 of hearts.

When it was Ye Xiaoyang's turn to speak, he still didn't look at his cards and directly threw 250 million into the pot.

This raises the blinds to 250 million.

Ms. Muto also chose not to look at her cards and directly threw 250 million chips into the pot.

It was Yamamoto Kumaji's turn to look at his cards. His ground cards were the 10 of hearts and the 10 of diamonds, and he chose to call with a bet of 500 million.

When talking to Honda Koyama, he chose to look at his hole cards, which were the J of Clubs and the J of Hearts, and he called a bet of 500 million.

Talk to Ichiro Ishikawa again and choose to look at your hole cards, which are the Queen of Hearts and the Queen of Spades.

Just call with 500 million chips.

It was Goro Matsushita's turn to speak. He looked at his hole cards, which were the King of Hearts and the King of Spades.

He also directly followed up with a bet of 500 million chips.

Currently, there are 3760 million chips in the pot.

It was Ye Xiaoyang's turn to speak again. He still did not choose to look at his cards and threw another 250 million chips into the pot.

Ms. Muto followed closely and still chose to call the blind bet of 250 million.

As the chips in the middle of the pot grew larger and larger, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat oppressive.

Seeing that Yamamoto Kumaji was hesitant, Fujiwara Kaori asked directly:

"Yamamoto-kun, it's your turn to speak."

Yamamoto Kumaji finally shook his head and said:

"I fold."

It was Honda Koyama's turn to speak. He thought for a while and did not choose to fold, but called 500 million.

It was Ichiro Ishikawa's turn to speak again. He also did not choose to fold, but continued to call 500 million.

When it was Goro Matsushita's turn to speak, he took out 500 million chips without hesitation and threw them into the pot.

After one round, the pot has increased by 2000 million chips, and now there are 5760 million chips in the pot.

Fujiwara Kaori dealt the last river card, a 10 of clubs, and all the cards were dealt.

When it was Ye Xiaoyang's turn to speak, he still chose to follow the blind bet with 250 million chips.

Ms. Muto also called the blinds with 250 million chips.

Seeing that the river card was the 10 of clubs, Yamamoto Kumaji felt extremely uncomfortable, but he had already folded.

At this moment, he wanted to beat himself to death.
