Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Chapter 168: Chapter 156: What Gives You the Right? (Part 3)

Only Lu Li’s hole cards remained face down.

Nobody knew what they actually were.

This round, he was on the gun, it was his turn to raise.

The TV had the picture but no sound.

They didn’t know if Lu Li and the others had communicated at all.

However, one thing that everyone clearly saw was that Lu Li tossed a million yuan in chips forward.

The hands of the few others were very strong; they called without hesitation.

No one raised midway, as if afraid of scaring others into folding.

The total value of chips on the table came to six million yuan.

The round of betting concluded.

The dealer dealt three community cards.

This time it was a club K, club A, and diamond 5.

Zheng Ya suddenly had three Ks!

Suqi also had three 5s!

Greg had a pair of Aces and a pair of Kings!

Zhang Jianmin was close to a straight, only missing a ten.

This round, only Zhao Haizhe gained nothing significant, his hand weakened.

In everyone’s line of sight, Lu Li on the TV again threw a million yuan in chips without even looking at his cards.

Sitting below him, Zhao Haizhe glanced with surprise, clearly not expecting Lu Li to dare bet so big without looking at his cards. Although he initially held a pair of threes, the second round’s cards weren’t favorable, and after some hesitation, he folded.

With a good hand, there was no way Greg would fold, but he also couldn’t appear too eager; he deliberately pondered for a moment, then hesitantly tossed in a million yuan, seemingly with little confidence.

Suqi similarly acted ”conflicted,” then took a deep breath and called with a million yuan.

Zheng Ya, without a word, directly tossed in two million yuan, raising by another million!

Zhang Jianmin glanced at his cards again, then gladly followed with two million.

Lu Li and the others also completed the two million, but this time no one raised further.

The amount on the table had reached sixteen million yuan!

”My God, this is high stakes,” Qin Liang’s eyes widened.

Zhao Chun’ai also inhaled sharply, saying, ”Yeah, and it’s not even the final betting round, yet the chips are at sixteen million yuan. If the last round deals any good cards, won’t the pot skyrocket?”

Mei Ruohua blinked, ”I don’t know if the pot will go to the sky, I only know Mr. Lu has already tossed in three million without looking at his cards. If they turn out bad, he’ll lose three million in an instant!”

Nobody expected Lu Li to be so ”arrogant,” losing three rounds already and now betting without even looking at his cards, especially when everyone else’s hands were so good, wasn’t he just waiting to lose!

Then, the fourth card arrived, it was a club 10!

This card completely changed the dynamics of the gamble.

Zhang Jianmin now had a straight, his odds of winning were hugely increased!

For the others, there wasn’t much change this round.

”Tsk, this round Zhang might win.”

”Yeah, he’s got a great hand, but it’s not guaranteed.”

”True, Suqi, Zheng Ya, and Greg all have a shot at a full house, they still have a chance to win the hand.”

”You never know how things will turn out, but I still think Zhang has a strong win profile.”

Wang Qin and some monitors whispered, thinking everyone had a chance to win, except Lu Li.

Qin Liang and Zhao Chun’ai, though closer to Lu Li, also thought the same.

Given the current card face-up, how could Lu Li possibly win? With what?

Despite their sympathy over Lu Li’s impending loss, the game was thrillingly intense, and they were eager to see what the final card might be, and if it would overturn expectations.

Yet, just as everyone eagerly anticipated, Lu Li did something surprising again, he once more threw two million in chips without looking at his cards!

Qin Liang: ”...”

Zhao Chun’ai: ”...”

Cheng Rong and others: ”...”

The dozens present were stunned.

Oh my.

At least look at your cards before deciding to raise.

Aren’t you just giving the others an advantage this way?

But precisely because of Lu Li’s bet this round, the situation became even more breathtaking!

Greg wasn’t going to pretend any longer, possibly sensing the others had good hands too, not wanting to drag things out, opting for a decisive end, he directly tossed in four million yuan!

Suqi’s face changed; this time she was genuinely conflicted, but considering her strong hand, she bit the bullet and followed.

Zheng Ya, having three Kings, had no reason not to call, she barely hesitated, not worrying about revealing any flaws, also calling with four million chips.

Zhang Jianmin, despite having a straight and logically needing to call, suddenly gave Lu Li a meaningful look, and then... folded!

Up until now, no one had cheated.

”Huh?”

”Folding a straight?”

”What’s Zhang doing?”

Everyone was baffled!

Although in Texas Hold’em, a straight is somewhat weak compared to flushes, full houses, four of a kind, straight flushes, and royal flushes, it usually secures a win.

So why did Zhang Jianmin fold?

No one understood his move.

It wasn’t just them; even Suqi, Zheng Ya, and Greg, who were still wagering, were equally stunned. They didn’t know Zhang Jianmin’s hole cards, but with the previous two rounds of betting, Zhang Jianmin’s hand couldn’t have been weak, so why was he scared off now?

However, they had no time to ponder, their eyes returned to Lu Li to see if he’d match Greg’s four million bet, or if this time he’d look at his cards before deciding to continue raising.

But to everyone’s disappointment, Lu Li didn’t even look at his cards, he just beamed and met the four million chips.

The pot had risen to thirty-two million yuan!

Everyone watched, holding their breath.

Especially Qin Liang and Zhao Chun’ai, who were sweating with tension.

Finally, the last card was dealt, a heart Ace!

Zhao Haizhe and Zhang Jianmin had folded, so it didn’t matter what was revealed.

But for Greg, that Ace meant he now had a full house with three Aces and two Kings!

Suqi also had a full house, with three fives and two Aces!

Zheng Ya, whose hole cards were two Kings, also formed a full house with three Kings and two Aces!

The remaining four players, three had full houses!

”My heavens! What kind of hand is this?”

”Incredible! Three full houses in one round?”

”Unbelievable! Just unbelievable!”

Qin Liang, Cheng Rong, Ye Xiaobing and the crowd monitoring the game were all awestruck and exhilarated, despite a final betting round remaining. Watching this, they already had an inkling of how it would end; this thrilling gamble had been incredible from start to finish, where initially all five players had hopeful outcomes, followed by Zhang Jianmin sensing something and folding his straight, and concluding with three simultaneous full houses, it was excitement at its peak!

While the crowd marveled, a more astonishing scene unfolded!

Lu Li, without looking again, threw in another five million in chips!

What?

Facing three full houses, he added five million?

Their expressions turned visibly shocked as they watched. Even knowing Lu Li couldn’t see the others’ cards, they seriously wondered how he could bet so extravagantly without even looking at his cards?
