1126 High-Stakes Card Game
On the other side, the other three people at the table looked at Lucas with surprise and uncertainty. Is this uninvited guest here to cause trouble, or does he really just want to play with us?
Thirty million dollars in cash wasn’t an amount that ordinary people could take out casually.
Soon, the waiter came over with a card POS machine, and Lucas swiped his card for 30 million dollars in front of everyone.
The ‘successful payment’ notification sounded…
The robotic voice of the machine made countless onlookers flabbergasted!
This young man really took out 30 million dollars in one go!
They began to wonder which family he was from.
The fact that he could play poker with 30 million dollars meant that he was either incredibly wealthy or a wastrel!
For a while, the crowd was discussing him.
Lucas didn’t care about what others thought. He simply placed the large pile of chips on the table in front of him and leisurely looked at the other three people at the table.
Looking at the mountain of chips in front of Lucas, the three of them couldn’t help gulping with extremely greedy expressions in their eyes.
As employees of Club Illuma in charge of luring people into their scams and traps, they naturally couldn’t take 100% of the money they won. But even though they had to hand over the bulk of the 30 million dollars in front of them to Club Illuma, they could still take 10%, which was still a considerable sum of money. After splitting the sum by three, they could get a million dollars each!
Earning a million dollars a day was simply a god-sent gift falling into their laps!
They wouldn’t miss it no matter what!
The trio looked at each other again and saw the determination in each other’s eyes.
They had already understood each other’s intentions.
They were going to do it!
They had to do it!
A young man in a casual striped suit sitting opposite Lucas looked at him with a smile and asked, “So, what do you want to play?”
There were all sorts of games and methods of playing here, but they were good at everything, so they generously left it up to Lucas to choose.
Lucas said straightforwardly, “We’ll play the simplest way. Raise the stakes as much as you want. If we see the cards, we must at least double the bet. In addition, we will double the bet when we open the cards. How about that?”
It was an incredibly high-stakes table rarely seen even in Club Illuma.
But this was just what the young man in the suit wanted. The bigger Lucas’s bets, the faster they could win.
“Okay, it’s settled then!” The young man in the striped suit immediately agreed, and the other two naturally didn’t have any opinion.
Soon, the dealer shuffled the cards and dealt the cards to Lucas and the trio accordingly.
Lucas sat quietly and glanced at the card in front of him without checking what it was.
Soon, the card belonging to each person had been dealt.
Lucas first threw out a pile of chips and said, “Three million.”
The crowd was shocked again.
It was quite rare for anyone to place such a huge bet as soon as the game started.
Moreover, Lucas was extremely calm, as if he had just bet a few dollars.
The three people, including the young man in the striped suit, didn’t dare to be as bold as Lucas, who raised the bet without even looking at his card. To be safe, they checked their cards.
This also meant that if they wanted to raise, they had to double the 3 million dollars, which meant that they would have to bet at least 6 million dollars.
With such a large bet, the three of them were a little flustered.
But once they thought that the three of them were together in this and that they were from Club Illuma, they felt more courageous.
They were on their turf, and the people around them were all their coworkers. Why should they be afraid of a young man like Lucas?”
“Okay, six million!”
“Me too, six million!”
“I’ll follow, six million!”
The three of them raised the bet one after another. The total in this game had already reached a terrifying sum of 21 million dollars!
The pot had already grown to such a terrifying amount after just one round of betting. Even in the magnificent Club Illuma, where the wealthy gathered, this was extremely rare.
Such high stakes immediately attracted the attention of many people, who swarmed over and surrounded the table.
Just after everyone placed their bets, Lucas threw out another 7 million dollars worth of chips. “I raise by seven million!”
With this, the faces of the three people at the poker table immediately became sullen.
If they continued to call, then each of them would have to increase their bets by at least 14 million dollars!
And if all three of them called, it would amount to a total of 42 million dollars!
This was already more than the limit that Club Illuma had given them!
After all, the three of them were working for Club Illuma, and the club couldn’t possibly give them the freedom to gamble with so much money.
But if they didn’t continue to call the bet now, it would mean they folded, and all the chips on the table would go to Lucas. The three of them would lose 18 million dollars in total, which would definitely be painful.
The three of them hesitated.
But the cards in their hands were pretty good. If they raised the bet and continued with the game, they stood a high chance of winning.
At this moment, an attendant from Club Illuma squeezed in from the crowd and said a few words to the young man in the striped suit, after which he looked much better.
He made two hidden hand gestures, and the two partners who had worked with him several times immediately understood what he meant.
“I fold!” one of them said directly.
The other pushed the card in front of him forward. “Me too.”
The young man in the striped suit gritted his teeth, pushed 14 million dollars worth of chips forward, and shouted, “Open!”
Indeed, according to the rules, they had to double their bet when they opened the cards.
By now, the total amount of chips on the table, which were piled up like a mountain, had reached a staggering sum of 42 million dollars!
Seeing so many chips on the table, the surrounding onlookers were all excited, and their hearts were beating so quickly that they almost couldn’t catch their breaths, even though they weren’t part of the game.
It was really exciting!
Since the young man in the striped suit wanted to open the cards, Lucas naturally agreed.
The young man flipped over the card in front of him and slammed it hard against the table while shouting, “Ace of hearts!”
