Chapter 1205: Withdrawal from the Competition
Chapter 1205: Withdrawal from the Competition
The moment people were dumbfounded, the white-haired gambler also stood up in shock.
It turned out they had already gotten four of a kind, and he and the player before him had been plotting to win Ling Feng’s chips, only to end up with nothing!
Trying to watch someone else’s joke, only to become the joke yourself, this feeling is truly unpleasant!
By this time, the dealer had discarded a card and brought out the river card.
It didn’t matter anymore; the white-haired gambler knew he couldn’t win.
Sure enough, a Jack fell on the table, and the dealer announced that Ling Feng won this round.
Winning nearly fifteen million, Ling Feng was satisfied and smiled as he collected the huge pile of chips.
There were still eight people at the table, one of whom had only over four million chips left. People exchanged looks in silence.
In these two rounds, Ling Feng had shown great power, knocking their confidence to rock bottom.
Afterward, even when dealt a pair of Aces, no one dared to face him.
Not only that, some were already entertaining thoughts of quitting, feeling like they were just here to accompany and merely wasting time!
In the silence, the game continued.
For the next few hours, no waves were stirred at Ling Feng’s table; gamblers would place blind bets and just watch him. As soon as he bet, nobody would call!
This situation lasted until the evening when the tournament was paused.
It was break time, to resume in two hours and continue until midnight, when the top twenty chip holders would be decided.
Ling Feng looked at the nearly forty million chips on his table and let out a long breath.
The gamblers dispersed, and Yu Linglong and Qingqing walked over.
"Won so much, why the long face?" Yu Linglong asked.
Ling Feng gave a wry smile, "How can I not? You saw it too; everyone ended up like zombies, repeating the betting action without any passion!"
"That’s because you scared them; they’ve lost their fighting spirit!" Qingqing laughed.
"So it’s boring now, there’s still four hours tonight, and I’m afraid I’ll fall asleep by then!" Ling Feng shrugged helplessly.
"There’s no choice; you have to follow the rules!"
Yu Linglong smiled and then took Ling Feng’s arm. "Alright, two hours of break, let’s find a place to get something to eat!"
"Okay!" Ling Feng nodded.
Not just them, Gui Ye and Little Dao, as well as Pu Fuwan, who rushed over after handing his matters to his assistant, left the casino hall in a grand manner and went directly upstairs.
This place belonged to Pu Fuwan, so they naturally had priority and found a large private room to sit down in.
Gui Ye and the others were full of praise for Ling Feng’s performance at the poker table, especially the two brilliant four-of-a-kind victories over full houses, which were hailed as classics.
Ling Feng didn’t care about that at all, so he wasn’t feeling conceited, just calmly said, "It’s all thanks to Ling Long; if it weren’t for her giving me such great luck, I wouldn’t have won so easily!"
"That’s true, but luck is a kind of strength too; others want it but can’t have it!" Pu Fuwan laughed.
At this moment, his assistant rushed in and leaned in to whisper something in his ear.
Pu Fuwan glared at him unhappily, "What’s with the secrecy, speak clearly!"
"Uh, boss, several gamblers who were at the same table as Mr. Ling announced their withdrawal!" the assistant said.
"Ah?"
Pu Fuwan was startled and then stood up, "Why did they withdraw?"
"They said sitting at the table with Mr. Ling made them feel like lambs to the slaughter, very uncomfortable..." The assistant replied awkwardly.
Everyone: "...."
They were all speechless; they actually quit?
Pu Fuwan didn’t expect this result either, looked at Ling Feng, and said with a bitter smile, "Brother, your intimidation is too strong!"
"Looks like when I go to the casino in the future, no one will want to play with me!" Ling Feng also said with a wry smile.
Everyone laughed at this.
He was right; knowing they were not opponents, who would willingly give him money?
"Brother, Gui Ye, you guys stay, now that there’s an emergency, I have to go handle it!" Pu Fuwan said, getting up.
He was the chairman of the organizing committee for this tournament, and since there were players suddenly wanting to withdraw, he definitely had to handle it.
He didn’t return after leaving; it wasn’t until Ling Feng and the others finished dinner, rested for a while, and were ready to continue the tournament, that Pu Fuwan showed up.
"Counting those who withdrew, there are now only eighteen people competing, separated into two tables. Tonight, we’ll probably decide the eight people who will participate in the final!" Pu Fuwan said.
"That’s great, it will be over by tomorrow, right?" Ling Feng asked.
"Almost, we discussed it and modified the tournament rules. If only blind bets are placed without calling, the speed of blind bet increase will be altered, they’re not allowed to waste time!" Pu Fuwan laughed.
Ling Feng grinned, "That’s great, I was finding it troublesome!"
Laughing and joking, they returned to the casino hall, where a number of spectators were already waiting.
Including Ling Feng, there were eighteen people, but no one wanted to be at the same table with him, so how the two tables were divided had to be decided by drawing lots.
The staff had prepared, and everyone just needed to pick a ping pong ball from a box and sit according to the number on it.
As the draw started, no one went forward; everyone looked at Ling Feng.
No choice, Ling Feng stepped up and drew a number first.
As expected, he drew number one!
Seeing his number, everyone had a feeling of assurance.
Just as Ling Feng was about to go to his seat, a woman in a blue dress said, "Hey, wish me luck to draw numbers 2 or 9!"
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng was stunned, thinking everyone wanted to stay away, but you’re coming closer?
Seeing through his thoughts, the woman in blue smiled, "Others fear you, but I don’t care. I don’t want to meet you at the final table, let’s decide the win now!"
"Alright, wish you draw the desired number!"
Ling Feng smiled faintly.
The blue-dressed woman nodded, stepped to the draw box, reached in, and grabbed a ping pong ball in front of everyone.
But she was disappointed; she got number eighteen!
"Can’t do anything about it; my good luck can only be enjoyed alone, can’t help you!"
Ling Feng smiled, turned, and went to his table.
The blue-dressed woman was obviously unhappy, stomped her foot in anger, and shouted at Ling Feng, "Just you wait, the Gambling King title will definitely be mine!"
