However, my chips kept piling up.

When I won ten million, a tall, thin man came up to me at the casino: "Sir! Would you be interested in betting with me?"

"Huh? No!"

"Pfft!" Annie burst out laughing.

The others couldn't help but smile. I'm such a master, I should be stepping up when faced with a challenge, why isn't it here yet?

The tall, thin man smiled and said, "Sir, if you beat me, I can give you double the chips?"

"What? There's such a good thing? You want to bet with me? I'll have the beautiful woman next to me deal the cards. I don't trust your people."

The tall, thin man looked at Annie and said, "Isn't this the big star Annie? Okay."

Holy crap! Looks like he's got pretty good skills!

"Shall we begin?"

Annie has played this game before, but her shuffling skills aren't great; she's a bit clumsy. However, she's better than me; I don't even have time to play this game.

If Annie hadn't told me which cards were higher and which were lower, I wouldn't have known how to play.

Whether you're smart or not, the cards have been shuffled and put into the deck.

The tall, thin man and I each threw in 10,000 chips, and then Annie started dealing the cards.

I already knew whether I would win or lose, so I didn't even look at the cards.

I don't look at the numbers; whatever I call out, he has to double it.

Surprisingly, he didn't even look at it.

His card is a King, that's his call.

"I won't call out!"

Hmm? Could he possibly remember the cards?

If these cards are dealt, I'll win in the end.

He sent it twice more, once when I didn't call him, and once when he didn't call him.

He probably thought I could remember the cards too, so he simply said:

"Okay, let's all turn our backs and wait for the cards to be shuffled before we start playing."

"Sure?" I couldn't be happier!

This time, a croupier washed the item and then handed it to Annie.

Anne shuffled the cards and put them in the deck.

When I looked at it, I knew that if I played it first, I would lose.

The tall, thin man said, "Let's go big this time, with a minimum bet of 100,000."

Could this guy also read the cards?

I pretended to think about it and said, "You just want to get off work quickly! If you send it to me first, I'll agree."

"Alright! Deal the cards!"

He had a really good hand this time, a straight!

Mine is a straight flush, even though it's a low-ranking one.

He just calls out to me, and I just follow along.

In the end, I still had five million left.

"Sir! I'll bet all the money on your table."

Annie looked at my pile of chips, her palms sweating with worry.

"You're that confident? Okay then."

I pushed all my chips out because I hadn't looked at my cards at the beginning, so I bet a little over ten million, while he had over twenty million.

"Let's reveal the cards!" The tall, thin man slammed down his cards—a straight!

"Judging by your hand, the only way to beat me is with a straight flush."

"Oh!" I flipped over my cards—a straight flush!

I smiled and said, "Sorry!"

"Wait! You're cheating!"

What? He can know everything about me, even though I can read the cards?
