When we got to the basement, the card game started. Texas Hold'em is suitable for 2-10 people. There were 7 people in this card game, and there was a circle of people standing around to watch the cards.

Duca sat in the middle, and Andrew stood behind him, saying that he would serve as his adviser.

The dealer was a woman named 'Molly Bloom'.

Hearing Depp introduce this person's name, Duka slowly raised his head and looked at the woman in the middle of the card table who was wearing a half-breasted skirt. She was in her twenties, tall and had a tough face.

"Miss Bloom, are you an athlete?"

"Mr. Jin, do you know me?"

The woman was stunned for a moment and blinked.

"Duka, do you know Jasmine?"

Depp asked, holding a wine glass.

"She looks familiar. I seem to have seen her on the sports channel. It was a skiing competition."

Duka rubbed his forehead and said.

"Mr. Jin, you have a really good memory. I won third place in the 1986 North American Stunt Skiing Competition."

Jasmine Bloom smiled proudly.

"Wow~ That's awesome!"

There was a burst of exclamation at the scene.

"Jasmine, have you retired?"

Keanu Reeves asked.

"No, I had an accident a few years ago when I was training. My spine was seriously injured and I can no longer ski."

Jasmine Bloom smiled slightly.

"it's a pity!"

Everyone sighed.

"Where do you work now?"

Duca asked.

"Waiter at the Cotton Club."

Jasmine Bloom said frankly.

Duca secretly said that sure enough, the Cotton Club is on Sunset Boulevard, with a dance hall and bar on the upper floor and a casino on the ground floor. It is currently the territory of Mickey Cohen, the godfather of the Los Angeles gang.

It wasn't until 1993 when Mickey Mouse was arrested and Depp took over that the Cotton Club became the famous 'Snake House Bar'.

The Jasmine in front of me should be Jasmine Bloom, known as the "Poker Princess". She was an athlete. After being injured, she came to Los Angeles to work. She saw star poker games while working at the Cotton Club.

Initially, she was responsible for notification, coordination, layout of the card court, exchange of chips, etc.

After working for two years, she met many celebrities and gained extensive connections before starting to work alone. She organized celebrity card games every week, and the players who entered the game had to have at least 100,000 US dollars.

She made a fortune through taking commissions from card games. As time went by, she gradually became the famous "Jasmine Card Game". Her reputation in the circle became more and more popular, which also attracted the attention of the authorities and the jealousy of her opponents. Then she was arrested by the police.

He was arrested and his assets were confiscated.

Jasmine was forced to move the battlefield and organize a more advanced "Jasmine Gambling Game" in New York, which was also a rich man's gambling game.

Molly's autobiography was later adapted into "Molly's Gambit," starring Jessica Chastain.

When Duca was working as an Interpol, he was investigating a money laundering case and happened to be involved in it.

"Duka, why are you asking Jasmine? Do you want to pick her up?"

Keanu smiled.

"Don't forget that I also work in a bar, Sunshine Boy Bar. Miss Bloom, you look very capable. I wonder if you have any idea of ​​changing your job. If so, you can contact me."

Duca took out a business card and handed it over.

"Okay, I'll think about it."

Jasmine Bloom smiled.

"Ahem~, should we open the cards?"

Nicolas Cage is getting a little impatient.

"Okay, let's play cards."

Depp waved his hand.

Jasmine started dealing cards.

The rules of Texas Hold'em are very simple. There are 52 cards in total, excluding the big and small kings. Each person has 2 hole cards. There are 5 public cards on the table. Use seven cards to choose five to form the largest card type. Compare the winning and losing with others.

Straight Flush > Four of a Kind > Three of a Kind and Two of a Kind > Flush > Two Pairs > One Pair.

After getting the two hole cards, each looks at the cards and bets if they think they are OK.

Duka picked up the hole card and took a look at it, he couldn't help grinning, two old kings, this kind of card must be followed.

He threw down four hundred chips to bet, and the other three players on the table folded, leaving him, Nicolas Cage, and Depp, who also followed four hundred.

Jasmine began to deal three public cards, namely the King of Hearts, the Jack of Hearts, and the 3 of Spades.

Duca had three kings, and he directly threw in $1,000. The second round of betting was more than double the previous time.

Depp looked at the cards, hesitated, and followed for $2,000.

Nicolas Cage held his chin, looked at the two of them, and took the $5,000.

Duka was a little surprised. This time, his three kings were not a sure win. If either of the two families had a queen of hearts or an ace of hearts, and two more cards were dealt to form a royal flush, they would be guaranteed a win.

he.

But at this time, he held three kings and still had the greatest chance of winning.

Jasmine continued to deal the cards, and the fourth community card was '4 of Diamonds'.

Duka breathed a sigh of relief. If there was a 10 of hearts, a queen of hearts, or an ace of hearts, his winning rate would be lowered.

He continued to bet, betting $10,000.

Depp hesitated and folded.

Nicolas Cage picked up $20,000 and continued betting.

Jasmine dealt the cards in the third round, and the fifth community card was ‘Ace of Diamonds’.

Duca was a little hesitant. If the opponent held Q, 10, and the straight was higher than the set, he would lose.

"Are you still following?"

Andrew whispered.

Duca picked up 40,000 chips and threw them on the table.

“It’s such a big game!”

Behind the card table, Joaquin whispered softly.

“It’s huge!”

Keanu sighed, forty thousand dollars was more than the salary for one of his movies. He glanced at Duka in the middle. This guy didn't change his face when he threw the money. He must be a veteran.

Nicolas Cage picked up 40,000 chips and asked for a hand.

Duca is three kings with two single cards.

Nicolas Cage's hole cards are 'Ace of Hearts' and 'J of Spades', which when combined are two A's and two J's.

Two is smaller than three.

"Wow~ It's so dangerous!"

When the two turned over the cards, there was a burst of exclamation on the scene. Both players had good cards, and Nicolas Cage almost made a straight.

"Are we playing too big a game? Why don't we limit the bets?"

Ruifan suggested.

"No restrictions, continue!"

Nicolas Cage held a cigar in his mouth and waved his hands carelessly.

The second game continues.

Duka looked at the cards, one was an 8 and the other was a 3. The cards were too small, so he threw them away.

In the second game, Nicolas Cage and Robert Downey Jr. competed. Downey caught four 9s and won the second game cleanly.

In the third round, Duka continued to fold.

In the fourth round, he got a jack and a 9, and he folded.

In the fifth game, he got a Queen of Hearts and a Ten of Spades. After two rounds, he got a pair of Queens and a pair of 10s, and finally lost to Ruifan's set of Kings.

In the sixth game, he got an A and a 5. After two rounds, he won more than 16,000 by relying on the A.

In the seventh game, he looked at the time. Half an hour later, he handed the cards to Andrew and left the gambling game.

He won more than 60,000 yuan in seven hands, and all the money, including 100,000 yuan, was left to the impatient Andrew.

"Haha, Duka, don't worry, if you lose, it's mine, if you win, we'll split it equally."

Andrew rubbed his hands and said.

Duca shook his head. To play Texas Hold'em poker, you need to be able to use psychological tactics and keep your emotions and anger a secret. Andrew looked like he was not a master at first glance.

"Depp, don't lend him the chips after he loses all his money. This guy is a pauper now."

Duca said.

"OK."

"Duka, can you have some faith in me?"

Andrew was dissatisfied.

Duka chuckled and left the basement.
