章節 60: No Chance

I placed another $25,000 worth of chips on the table for the next hand.

I was all in.

The guy in the red t-shirt beside me put out his own stack of chips, twice as big as mine.

The dealer began dealing again.

I had a King and a 7 showing - 17.

The dealer revealed her up card: a 6.

I should be doubling down, but I didn't have enough chips.

"Stand," I said.

The dealer revealed her down card: a Jack, she was up to 16.

She drew another card, a 7. Total of 23.

Bust.

+$25,000.

The dealer flashed a bright smile. "Congratulations on the win!" she said, handing me the additional 5 chips I'd won. The man in the red t-shirt beside me was also celebrating, having won $50,000.

I took a sip of my Coke and placed another $25,000 on the table for the next hand.

The dealer dealt the cards: I got a 3 and a 6, totaling 9.

The dealer's up card was a 3.
