I am really a language teacher

"Hey, what do you think Mr. Sun's head looks like? Not only can he play tennis, but he can also play the piano and go. Most importantly, they are all professional. Now he has written a paper and conquered the entire mathematics world." , and then went to the casino to become the king of gambling!" Fan Yilun couldn't help complaining.

As Sun Ping's eldest disciple, Fan Yilun has lost much of Sun Ping's ability.Sun Ping has always emphasized that he is a Chinese teacher, and Fan Yilun knows this is true.Sun Ping has not only achieved extraordinary achievements in the field of literature, although Sun Ping has not written a new novel for more than half a year, his name is still circulating in the world literary circles, and many people firmly believe that Sun Ping is writing a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation; The world is also first-class, whether it is teaching skills or adolescent psychology, Sun Ping has important research works.

In addition, Sun Ping's tennis skills are beyond the reach of Fan Yilun, even though Fan Yilun's world tennis ranking is already ranked first.Then Sun Ping conquered the international chess world playing Go, won international awards for playing the piano, and suddenly transformed into a mathematician. He not only solved the Poincaré conjecture, but also became a doctoral student in mathematics.Originally, I came to the United States for business, but ended up wandering to the casino and started to challenge the international gambling scene. Are you planning to become the king of gambling?

"Teacher Sun is really irresponsible to the extreme." Fan Yilun turned off the computer screen, and didn't bother to look at it anymore.

Although Fan Yilun didn't bother to pay attention to the actions of his wonderful teacher, but there were reporters among the group of people who followed them.Although the poker tournament is controversial, many sports journalists still classify it as an intellectual confrontation category in competitive sports.Therefore, when a reporter heard that Sun Ping was actually shortlisted for the finals of the International Poker Grand Prix, they immediately searched the Internet for news.While only two newspapers have reported it so far, the Atlantic City Post and the New Jersey City Life, it's enough for reporters to write the story.No wonder some senior reporters called Sun Ping "the biggest news bonanza in history". Sure enough, as long as you follow him, you will have news to write about.

While the reporters were busy writing reports, Sun Ping appeared in the semi-finals wearing a three-piece suit.According to the regulations of the competition, formal attire must be worn in the semi-finals and finals, which may be to improve the style of the competition.There are a total of five tables in the semi-finals, all of which use the five-seat system.Players are allowed to raise additional bets in the final circle, but the raise request must be agreed by all players on the table.On the one hand, the organizer hopes to increase the excitement of the game by raising bets, and on the other hand, it uses a strict review system to prevent some players from completely relying on money to suppress their opponents.

Sun Ping sat in his seat calmly. Of course he knew that he was already the focus of attention of the organizing committee and other players.Think about it, a player who has never participated in any poker tournament has become the finalist of the International Poker Grand Prix No-Limit Hold'em Gold Tournament. Isn't such a strange player worthy of attention?However, Sun Ping knew that since he had already entered the finals, the organizing committee had no reason to force him to be eliminated. Everything depended on the results of the competition.

The atmosphere at the poker table was rather serious. After the dealer introduced the players at the same table, the cards began to be dealt.In the first few rounds, everyone was testing the opponent's strength, so they played quite conservatively.But what Sun Ping didn't know was that at this time, several cable stations in Zhendan that often broadcast chess and card programs bought signals from Atlantic City and were simultaneously broadcasting Sun Ping's game live.

Although the scale of the International Poker Grand Prix is ​​not as grand as the World Poker Tour Finals, it is also the second largest poker event in the world, not to mention there are players from their own country competing.Several commentators are analyzing the current situation. Regarding Sun Ping's situation, everyone gave a relatively optimistic evaluation.And Sun Ping did not live up to everyone's expectations, and broke through from this table to the finals smoothly.

Since the other tables were not finished yet, Sun Ping went to the lounge to rest.The rest room is allowed to rest, and at this time a player who finished first has already smoked a cigar in it.

Seeing Sun Ping approaching, he got up and shook hands and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Sun to come to such a competition to test his level? Don't be surprised, I have investigated all potential opponents. I know you are a member of the Cathay Kingdom. Young mathematician, of course, you have many other identities, so many that I find the game incredible.

——Let me introduce myself, my name is Sam Kerkorian.You must have guessed my identity when you heard my surname, right?That's right, I am indeed the heir of MGM Resorts International.It's no surprise that everyone knows that I came to Atlantic City to play.I didn't break the rules, I don't officially run any Las Vegas casinos, so they can't kick me out. "

Sun Ping suddenly didn't know what to say, he actually met the real "Son of Gambling King".MGM Hotel International Group is the second largest gaming and entertainment company in the world. It owns Bellagio, MGM Grand Hotel, Monte Carlo Hotel, Circus Hotel, New York New York Hotel, etc. in Las Vegas alone. 23 properties.At the same time, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, MGM Resorts International also invested in a hotel called Borgata.Of course, MGM is only a shareholding investment, and the management right still belongs to the Borgata Hotel itself.

Just when Sun Ping was shocked, another man in a white robe walked in.He also introduced himself, it turned out to be a prince from Abu Dhabi.One after another, the winners of the remaining two tables also appeared, one was the descendant of the European Bourbon royal family, and the other was the heir of the Japanese Mitsubishi chaebol.Sun Ping savored it, and sure enough, none of them were simple characters.

Everyone rested for half an hour, and the organizing committee notified everyone to play the game.The grand final uses a 10/20 no-limit rule, which means that the small blind and big blind are at least $10 and $20, and because of the no-limit relationship, follow-up betting is completely unlimited.Moreover, the game stipulates that the raise must be doubled, so the amount of follow-up raises is very large.Since everyone's chips are actually limited, and there are too many restrictions on the so-called additional chips, such a rule can easily make some players "out" quickly. Of course, this also increases the excitement of the finals.

After drawing lots, the Prince of Abu Dhabi got the first place, the young Kerkorian got the second place, and Sun Ping was the third place, followed by the heir of the Mitsubishi chaebol. Nobility of yesteryear.

After everyone was seated, the little Kerkorian leaned into Sun Ping's ear and said, "Don't worry about that old French guy, but he has an expired title that is useless. He has the nickname of 'Momo Jia' in the circle, It means that he plays too conservatively, basically relying on a slight advantage to kill the opponent. Therefore, many tournament organizers don't like him, because as long as there is a game with him, it must be boring and lengthy, completely killing the rhythm of the broadcasters. "

Perhaps everyone has a tacit understanding, and everyone went completely for the Bourbon nobles in the first few rounds.Although the old man sensed that something was wrong, once a "four-on-one" situation appeared on the poker table, even a god would be hard to save.The old man also knew that he didn't like the organizing committee, even if he complained, there would be no result.So the old man simply lost the game as a bachelor. Although his chips were gone anyway, according to the rules of the game, he could at least take away the guaranteed bonus of 10 US dollars and some gifts from other sponsors, which is probably a small profit. Alright.

Unlike the previous competitions, there is no time limit for the finals, and the game must be played until there is only one player left.And after everyone forced the old man away, the whole game became more and more chaotic.The prince of Abu Dhabi and the little Kerkorian fought happily, while the heir of the Mitsubishi family made sniper shots from time to time, and Sun Ping tried to take advantage of the chaos to gain chips.

The practice of the heir of the Mitsubishi family's sniping obviously aroused the dissatisfaction of the two big figures on the poker table, so the two targeted him very tacitly, while Sun Ping waved his flag and shouted behind his back.After three rounds, the heir of the Mitsubishi family also lost.

At this time, the prince took up half of the chips on the table, little Kerkorian took up [-]%, and Sun Ping only had [-]%.Immediately, Sun Ping felt the unkind eyes of the other two people on him.Sun Ping just sneered in his heart and didn't care about the two of them.

It just so happened that it was Kerkorian's turn to be the banker, so Sun Ping bet $10 as the small blind, and Prince bet $20 as the big blind.Because it was the last moment, everyone became cautious, and no one chose to raise on the hole card circle.So the croupier continued to distribute the flop cards, and Sun Ping got the heart k, heart q and heart j very well.Immediately, the cards became the best for him. After a round of bidding, the croupier continued to distribute the turn cards.

Although Sun Ping got the 10 of hearts, Kerkorian got the ace of hearts.At this moment, Kerkorian already had three aces in his hand. Whether it was four of a kind or a full house in the end, Sun Ping was very depressed.The prince felt a little angry at this time. Although his cards made a flush, he became the worst card in the game.

"It's all come to this point, why don't you all-in! Finish the match earlier, let's rest earlier." Little Kerkorian said.

Sun Ping had no objection, but the prince sneered and said, "I don't believe you two are so lucky! I also agree."

When all three were all-in, whether it was the live audience or the audience watching the live broadcast, their enthusiasm suddenly rose.These decisive moments are some of the most fascinating in any sporting event, and poker is no exception.

The croupier began to distribute the river cards. As a result, Sun Ping failed to draw the key 9 of hearts, and Jr. Kerkorian failed to get the ace of clubs he had dreamed of. Instead, the prince got the diamond color and made a flush cards face.

The prince smiled and said, "Don't forget, I still have a hole card!"

The rule of Texas Hold'em is to choose five cards out of five community cards and two hole cards, as the final object of the contest.The final card thrown by the prince was a straight flush of the color of diamonds, and the little Kerkorian closed his eyes and threw the cards in his hand in pain.Although Jr. Kerkorian had an ace of clubs in his hole card, four of a kind were obviously not as good as a straight flush.

"I won!" the prince said ecstatically.

"Who said that?" Sun Ping coldly threw the cards in his hand.

Although Sun Ping did not get the ace of hearts, the 9 of hearts in his hole card made him a straight flush.What is important is that Sun Ping's straight flush is led by k, while Prince's straight flush is only led by j.Sun Ping looked at the prince, and the prince left his seat angrily.

On the contrary, Little Kerkorian came up to shake hands quite politely, and then said with a smile: "The World Poker Tour Finals held at the MGM Grand Hotel is the highest stage. Are you not interested? With the International Poker Awards As the champion of the tournament, you can get a wild card."
