Chapter 325 Poker Competition
"Yes, man, poker!" Hoffman said, raising the champagne in his hand.`
The two had arrived at another location and ordered a drink and meal each, talking about the poker competition.
"Sop, the World Poker Series, unlimited, the final winner can receive nearly ten million dollars in prizes." Hoffman said: "The high bonus attracts thousands of gamblers, gathering in Las Vegas."
"But, as far as I know, Hoffmann, the poker competition seems to be held in spring and summer, but now it is autumn!" Li Shixun said with a smile. Of course, he knew about the competition, but he didn't know much.
America has always held a poker and gambling competition, and it is entirely up to the mind to win. It is all tricks played by people outside the gambling world, and the gambling kings decided by the competition are all outsiders. If a real gambling master is asked to go to the table, the other party may even lose his pants.
A true gambling master will steal cards and exchange cards. When you are worried about your bad cards and bad luck, he has already got the cards he wants. These are two worlds that are very different, so although the American poker competition is becoming more and more popular, those who are really involved in the gambling world will not look down on it. They will not be serious about the so-called gambling kings.
Hoffman didn't know what Li Shixun was thinking at this time. He smiled and said, "Mac, it seems that you still have some understanding of the poker competition. It seems that I am not wrong. You should be here to participate in the competition. `You should thank me, forget the unhappiness just now, because meeting me will be your luck."
"Okay, Hoffman, I admit that I'm interested in this betting game, but if you're so stolen, I won't be with you!" Li Shixun put down the cup in his hand and said.
"Okay, okay, listen to me, okay!" Hoffman continued: "According to the convention, it's true that spring and summer began, but this year is very different."
"SOP supports online poker, and this time is of course no exception, but in order to prevent some computer experts from cheating, the competition has made the greatest preparation this year, and the equipment and personnel have been replaced in large quantities, so it has to be postponed."
"Although it was postponed, it won praise from many people, and the contestants this year have reached 7ooo people in this time alone. Do you know? It was only a little over 6,000 last year, and as time goes by, more people will participate."
"It seems that this bet match is worth looking forward to!" Li Shixun said thoughtfully.
"Of course, who can refuse the high bonus? The most important thing is that the contestants are starting to become younger. `I really miss the situation ten years ago, haha..." Hoffman took a sip and said, "You know the gambling king last year, the youngest gambling king, Card? He will also come to participate this year. Obviously, the 8.5 million US dollars cannot satisfy the appetite of this young man. However, whether he can succeed again this time depends on his luck."
The Card that Hoffman mentioned was the poker gambling king decided in November last year. His name was Joe Card, who was only 21 years old, one year younger than the 22-year-old gambling king in O8, which caused a great sensation at that time. Card also became an idol of many young people.
"Hoffman, what are the conditions for participating in this betting competition?" Li Shixun asked.
"The condition is...wait, don't you know?" Hoffman exclaimed halfway through.
"Why should I know?" Li Shixun spread his hands and said.
"But I thought you came to participate in the competition specifically. Damn it, I misunderstood!" Hoffman cursed suddenly, and then said excitedly: "So you haven't signed up for the competition yet?"
"Of course, I came to Las Vegas this time and was invited by my friend to come over and have fun. Now that I have heard such an interesting thing, of course I want to participate." Li Shixun asked: "Tell me about the registration process. If I still have time, I think I will participate."
"Of course there is time, and there is plenty of time." Hoffman said excitedly for some reason: "The world poker competition ranges from limited and unlimited Texas poker (texasho1d\'em) to seven-card poker (ven-cardstud), Omaha high-low poker (omahahigh-lo) and other popular poker games, and the registration fees for different formats range from 15oo dollars to 1oooo dollars."
"The highest prize money, and the most exciting thing is of course the championship battle, that is, the unlimited amount. The prize money for this event is high, so the cost of participating is also high. The contestants need to buy the right to participate in the competition for 10,000 US dollars. Believe me, Mike, with your strength, you will definitely shine."
"Why are you so confident in me? Hoffman, you haven't seen my skills."
"But I have seen your card reshuffle, and it is very clever. Although it is not useful, with such a technique, your card skills will definitely not be bad." Hoffman said.
"Okay, I didn't expect you to be so good at speaking. The last question is, Hoffman, how much time does the game take? I don't have time to stay here for a long time." Li Shixun asked.
"It doesn't take too long, Mike, just one month, one month is enough!"
"Are you kidding? Hoffman?" Li Shixun said dissatisfied: "A month has been too long, I don't have time at all. It seems that I can only express regret."
"No, no, Mike, listen to me, a month is really not long. Think about it, you can earn more than 8 million US dollars in a month..." Hoffman tried to convince Li Shixun.
"Come on, Hoffman, it's okay to have so much money, but can I definitely win the championship?" Li Shixun looked at him and said, "Why do you want me to participate so much? Hoffman, you have to give me a reason, otherwise we can't even make friends."
"Don't be so sensitive, my friend." Hoffman looked at him with a wry smile and said, "Actually, I just want to be your referee so that I can get the qualification to participate in gambling on the outside."
"Oh? There are actually external gambling battles like this?" Li Shixun immediately understood and looked at him with a smile and said, "If I participate in the competition, you will benefit a lot, right?"
Since he said it all, Hoffman stopped hiding it and nodded, "Yes, the outside world bets are champions and runners-ups, as well as various names. Among them, the champions have the highest bets. However, the outside world is not so easy to obtain qualifications, and they must be introduced."
"The referee has prepared all the information of players participating in the poker competition and then threw them to the outsiders for disclosure. Each referee has three quotas for high-ranking customers, which means that the referee can help the three quotas to bet. Regardless of whether the right one is pressed, the referee will have a considerable commission."
"It's interesting!" Hearing this, Li Shixun smiled meaningfully. (To be continued.)
