I am really a language teacher

Soon it will be the competition day of the International Poker Grand Prix. Although it is a poker competition, the venue of the competition is still in the hotel area instead of the casino area.After all, casinos are making a lot of money every day, so it would be too wasteful to use it as an event venue.Due to the large number of applicants for the Grand Prix, the competition was held in several regions at the same time.According to regulations, additional chips cannot be added in the preliminaries, so within the specified time, whoever has the most chips will qualify; or when someone loses all chips, whoever has the most chips wins.Therefore, for players, how to control the expenditure of chips in each game is also a problem.

There are no more than three types of people who come to participate in the Grand Prix. One is professional players. They are small in number, but they control almost all poker games.There are even many talented young people who rely on competitions to make money. They may not be the final champions, but they can earn a lot of money through each competition.At the same time, because they are famous enough, not only will some small and medium-sized competitions not charge their registration fees, but they will pay them to participate in the competition.The other category is professional gamblers. This is probably the most common type of people in the Grand Prix. They hope to get rich overnight in this kind of competition, but unfortunately it often backfires.Although this is the so-called Grand Prix, in the eyes of many people, it is just a gamble for a vest.In addition to the above two types of people, the rest are passers-by who are interested in poker. They either want to try their luck or test their card skills and participate in the competition.

All in all, there are more than [-] participants in this year's International Poker Grand Prix, among which the No-Limit Texas Hold'em Gold Tournament takes up half of the places.The reason why this project was named a separate event this year is that the promoters of the event want to create gimmicks.This year's championship prize is no longer a million dollars, but almost a million dollars in gold.A pile of green dollar bills is enough to shock people's eyes, but now it is even more touching when it is replaced by yellow gold!In addition, there are other prizes provided by various sponsors. In short, the pile of prizes on the rostrum can be said to catch everyone's attention.

Ten-seaters were used in the first few rounds of the competition, in order to eliminate the miscellaneous fish as soon as possible.Professional croupiers are responsible for dealing cards and controlling the order of the table. At the same time, there are countless cameras for seamless monitoring, and there are many senior casino staff patrolling the scene.In short, it is not so easy to cheat in such a game.Everything depends on your luck, and your calculation ability.Sun Ping is not the candidate that the competition organizers are focusing on. What should a tourist from the Cathay Kingdom have to worry about?From the perspective of the organizers, Sun Ping would at most break through the first round, and he might even be eliminated in the first round.

Of course, Sun Ping was happy to be ignored by the organizer, otherwise, once he was stared down by the organizer, his plan would not be carried out so smoothly.You know, the person who monitors the money is the organizer. Can you guarantee that the organizer will not secretly send players to snipe other masters to ensure that the bonuses do not flow out?At the same time, can you guarantee that the croupiers are all impartial and neutral?Now that technology is so advanced, even the shuffling and cutting of cards are done by machines.But since they are machines, do you dare to say that there is nothing special about their design?So if a player is targeted by the organizer, then the organizer definitely has many "fair" ways to eliminate you.

Sun Ping's table lasted for two hours, and in the end, Sun Ping got the most chips and successfully qualified.After Sun Ping registered his chip count with the referee, he went to the rest area to wait for the second round to start, and drank some tea by the way.Since nothing could be placed on the poker table except cards and chips, Sun Ping had no choice but to put his tea set in the rest area.Sun Ping was bored, so he made Kung Fu tea for himself.

Sun Ping's hands like flying butterflies piercing flowers made many passing Americans say "wonderful". In addition, the unique and strong orchid fragrance of oolong tea is also in line with American aesthetics, so many Americans came forward Ask for tea.Sun Ping is not a stingy person either, so he bought them a drink.Not to mention, although foreigners can't appreciate the sweetness after bitterness of green tea, they still understand the mellow aroma of oolong tea and black tea, and they all give their thumbs up.Sun Ping was also happy to share, and although these teas are not top-notch teas, they are still considered first-class.Under Sun Ping's skilled brewing technique, the potential of tea is brought out 100%.It's just that the time for drinking tea and making friends was too short. After less than half an hour of rest, Sun Ping was reminded that the second round of competition had already started.Sun Ping had no choice but to put away the tea set under the regretful eyes of a group of Americans, and then prepared to go to the competition.

The second round is still ten-seater, but everyone's level has improved a lot compared to the first round.And Sun Ping took a look, there were two Asians besides himself.Asians have the lowest ratio of gambling enthusiasts among most ethnic groups in the United States, so those who come to participate in such games are almost the so-called professional players.You must know that Asians are recognized as the smartest group in the United States, especially their talent in mathematics is almost as hopeless as the talents of African Americans in singing and sports.

I don't know if it is a rule only in the second round, but the croupier deliberately introduced everyone's names and occupations.For example, Sun Ping was introduced as a tourist, and one of the two Asians was a professional poker player, while the other was a college student.Although he did not introduce the school and major of the college students, his T-shirt betrayed that he was a student of Princeton University.The Department of Mathematics at Princeton University is world-renowned. It seems that this kid plans to come here to test his abilities.

Sun Ping didn't say anything, and still participated in the game calmly.The professional player started to be aggressive as soon as he came up, making the two rookies who got away with it miserable.Sun Ping couldn't help laughing wryly from the bottom of his heart, such players are actually the most annoying.Although ability may not be able to win, it can have an advantage in momentum.Seeing that this person's chips were getting more and more, Sun Ping couldn't help but make a move.It's just that Sun Ping is not as arrogant as that person, he just quietly absorbs other people's chips.When the game time ended, Sun Ping narrowly won by $500.The professional player looked at Sun Ping in disbelief, and Sun Ping could only smile silly, pretending it was just luck.

After Sun Ping returned to the rest area, he continued to play with his Kung Fu tea.Sun Ping knew very well that the fact that he eliminated professional players should be brought to the attention of the organizing committee.So he didn't bother to pretend to be low-key, anyway, he came here for the championship, so it didn't make much sense to pretend to be low-key.Especially from the third round onwards, the competition and the finals are all five-seater.The number of participants in the five-seater is half that of the ten-seater, so everyone's offensive and defensive pressure will not be doubled or tripled.And as the third round of competition is about to start, passers-by and rookies are basically eliminated, and the rest are not highly skilled professional players or experienced gamblers, but lucky darlings who are full of luck.This also means that the next game will definitely not be easy.

The rest period between the second and third rounds is relatively long, because the organizers have to reorganize the competition scene.For example, some excess card tables need to be cleared out, and the positions of the card tables should also be adjusted so that players at each table will not interfere with each other as much as possible.By the time the organizer had sorted out the scene, it was already around eight o'clock in the evening.Sun Ping had to admire the organizer's good plan. With three rounds of competition a day, even a professional player must be exhausted by now, right?Moreover, the organizer also entertained everyone with a sumptuous dinner. This is the time when everyone's brains are the most tired. I'm afraid there will be many accidents in this round of competition, right?

Sun Ping sat down in his seat, and he specifically instructed the race organizer to go to a nearby pharmacy to buy portable oxygen.When the brain is tired, sufficient oxygen is the best tool for waking up.What's more, the rules of the competition did not strictly prohibit players from inhaling oxygen. After Sun Ping showed the receipt and outer packaging of the pharmacy, the referee approved Sun Ping's request.While inhaling oxygen, Sun Ping looked at other people on the poker table.

Everyone else at the poker table ordered a large cup of espresso coffee, which compresses two to three cups of coffee into one cup, so most coffee shops provide small cups.Sun Ping drank it, and a small cup made people wake up immediately.Now everyone needs a big glass, you can imagine how tired they are.When they saw Sun Ping inhaling oxygen leisurely there, they all secretly cursed Sun Ping in their hearts, and at the same time they were annoyed that they didn't think of this trick.

Sun Ping used his mind to calculate without intention, so naturally he killed the Quartet in the third round.According to the rules of the competition, there will be four rounds of competition today, and tomorrow there will only be the last two rounds of semi-finals and finals.So to enter the final round, luck and poker skills are needed, but perseverance is more needed.Even with the blessing of oxygen, Sun Ping had to pass the third round with his mind swollen.

Because Sun Ping set a precedent, the number of players who inhaled oxygen in the fourth round increased significantly.Everyone was inhaling oxygen, filling espresso while constantly applying mint ointment on their heads.If it wasn't for the smoking ban on the spot, I'm afraid it would have been smoky already.In the fourth round, Sun Ping was also in a daze. After several hours of calculations, even Sun Ping's brain after being transformed by the system couldn't afford it.But Sun Ping saw that these players were not much worse than himself. Could it be that the system is already blooming everywhere?As a result, the system lightly reminded Sun Ping, "Pornography, gambling and drugs are family members".So Sun Ping understood that normal means cannot maintain energy, so what about abnormal means?Fortunately, there were energy potions and recovery potions in the system mall, so Sun Ping bought a dozen for himself at one time, and poured them desperately.So Sun Ping on the poker table revived with full blood and started to deal with these old foxes.After struggling for the last three hours, the game finally came to an end around 02:30 in the morning.Sun Ping qualified again and became the only non-professional player to enter the finals.

Sun Ping ignored the other people's discussions, went straight to his room, fell asleep on the bed and fell asleep.Although the potion in the system mall was useful, it was too much overdrawn, and he was extremely tired.Sun Ping slept until morning. Fortunately, the semi-finals and finals will be held at night, so Sun Ping still has a few hours to rest.After taking a shower, Sun Ping went to the spa for a massage after having lunch.Afterwards, Sun Ping asked for an aromatherapy bath, lay down in the water and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

While Sun Ping was playing poker in Atlantic City, those people in New York became a little anxious.Although Sun Ping left a message saying to go out for a stroll, it made me a little worried after going here for several days.When everyone was flustered, Fan Yilun actually saw the news that Sun Ping had advanced to the final round of the International Poker Grand Prix on a sports website.
