"Pair of aces."

Behind his plain glasses, Song Chao Ge's gaze swept over the Englishman then shifted toward Jiang Chen as he murmured softly.

Such a raise indicated that neither of the hands was weak.

Ace of hearts, queen of clubs, ten of clubs.

Based on the three community cards that had been revealed, one could roughly deduce the opponents' hole cards.

Excluding the possibility of a bluff, it was very likely that one side held a pair of aces. With the ace of hearts on the table, that would make three of a kind.

Moreover, judging by the momentum of the raise, the pair of aces was almost certainly in the Englishman's hand.

Of course.

There was also the possibility of a pair of queens.

But whether it was a pair of aces or queens, holding the eight and nine of clubs still left him with a chance to win.

"I'll call."

The third party continued to call the bet.

Another 4 million US dollars clanked into the pool.

Those at the table needed to manage their expressions, but it was different for the onlookers.

Their adrenaline surged.

"Mr. Yevgeny."

The croupier, who likely often presided over VIP room games, maintained commendable professional integrity, keeping a standard poker face as he gestured with an expressionless hand.

Clutching a pair of tens, the Russian tycoon was in a difficult position: not calling would leave him with a sense of unwillingness to accept defeat, and his previous chips would be wasted.

But if he kept calling,

Given the current situation, with three players left, there might be both a pair of aces and queens in play.

And there might even be someone gunning for a flush.

His chances of winning were incredibly slim.

His only chance hinged on the last ten.

His fingers absentmindedly rubbed the large emerald he wore.

"I'll call."

Another four million!

Hawk-nosed Smith clenched his cigar, not expecting that raising by 4 million wouldn't scare off a single person.

Even though he held a pair of aces, undeniably the strongest hand among the four players at the moment, he still felt an involuntary twinge of nervousness.

At this point,

The pot had swelled to 63 million US dollars!

Even though the guests in the VIP room were not lacking in funds, none could remain indifferent to such a sum of wealth.

Under the watchful eyes of the spectators holding their breath, the croupier dealt the fourth community card.

Queen of spades!

Song Chao Ge moved his fingers unconsciously.

This card was undoubtedly unfriendly to him.

It didn't reveal the jack of clubs he needed, nor was it a club.

Ace of hearts, queen of spades, queen of clubs, ten of clubs.

Based on the current cards, he had nothing.

Although a full house was on the board, the Russian tycoon Yevgeny didn't show any joy. On the contrary, his expression darkened slightly.

If there was a pair of queens in play, that would form four of a kind. In that case, even if he bet on the last card being the final ten, he was bound to lose!

If there was a pair of aces out there, his opponent would also have a full house, but a stronger one than his!

However, he still had the chance to bet on the last card.

After the fourth community card was dealt, none of the remaining four players showed a trace of happiness.

Jiang Chen sat with his arms crossed on the table, maintaining his calm demeanor, merely glancing occasionally at the onlookers as if to prevent his opponents from catching any information through his gaze.

"Mr. Smith."

The hawk-nosed Englishman snuffed out his cigar.

The queen of spades was not a bad card for him—quite the opposite, it was the ideal scenario next to the last ace showing up.

As long as there wasn't another pair of queens remaining outside, holding three aces with a pair of queens would put him in an unassailable position!

"Five million."

"Can I see your hand?" Li Shuru asked softly.

Although their target had changed to player 003, Jiang Chen was not one to be fickle.

He slid his hole cards toward Li Shuru, "Mind your expression."

Li Shuru cautiously lifted a corner of his hand.

Xue Yali also leaned in.

Ace of clubs, king of clubs.

After seeing the hand, Li Shuru quickly covered it back up again, her expression cold as she sat there.

This look had been her usual, there was no need for deliberate pretense.

Xue Yali wanted to speak, but she knew that this was the time to remain silent.

She looked again at the four community cards.

Ace of clubs, king of clubs.

It seemed like a strong hand, but Texas Hold'em was about the best five-card combination.

The biggest hand they could make at that moment was only two pairs!

Even if she couldn't guess the exact hands of the other players, she knew that no one would raise like that if a two pairs could win!

Xue Yali understood this reality, and Jiang Chen certainly understood as well.

If they revealed their hands now, he would surely lose.

His only hope for a turnaround was that jack, the club jack!

If the fifth community card was the jack of clubs, then he'd have ace, king, queen, jack, and ten of clubs!

That is, the royal flush!

The highest hand in Texas Hold'em!

Putting all your hope on one card was actually a foolish act.

Jiang Chen never considered himself a chosen one by fate.

Rather than placing his hope on the last community card, he was hoping on Vera!

Yes!

The previous draw might have been just a thrilling misunderstanding, yet he had clearly seen Vera nod at him.

That was the real reason he had been silent and kept calling until now!

"Raise another five million."

Everyone looked at Jiang Chen, including Smith, who held the pair of aces.

Unfazed by the gazes from all sides, Jiang Chen pushed forward a whole 10 million in chips!

Lan Peizhi sent him a look and lingered for quite some time.

This guy.

Wasn't he worried she would play him again?
