Absolute Advantage Chapter 56.2

When Ellie took off her fur coat, the staff approached and politely took her clothes. Ellie walked down the hall in a simpler outfit.

The marble corridor was polished to a fine finish. In addition, billions of won worth of art were hung on the wall.

Mr. Lee's poker house was far from the image of a common illegal gambling house. Rather, it was more like a social hall where wealthy people gathered together.

The so-called Young and Rich – they were Mr. Lee's main customers. Everything had to be of the highest quality to satisfy young, prodigal customers.

For example, the poker table in the center of the spacious living room alone cost 50 million won. The shelves attached to the bar were filled with expensive spirits.

“A glass of martini.”

“Yes.”

Ellie ordered a drink from the bartender.

“CEO Seo.”

While waiting for a drink, the waiter offered her a cigar.

Ellie took out a cigar from the box and put it to her nose. The soft, subtle smell of soil tickled her nose pleasantly.

“Next time.”

Ellie savored only the scent and dropped the cigar in the box. After greeting the waiter with her eyes, he went to another customer to offer him a cigar.

Ellie leaned one arm against the bar and looked at the terrace. Participants who arrived first gathered in twos and threes on the lawn to talk.

They were all the media and celebrities who frequently appeared on the paper. Some felt Ellie's eyes and greeted her.

Mr. Lee's poker house was not only a poker game, but also a place of personal connections. There are quite a few customers who make deals here.

That's probably why I came in with all my might.

Ellie happily drank the cup.

Now she felt like she found a place that fits her character. Not only her, but all the participants gathered here were immersed in the dignity presented by Mr. Lee.

But the main thing is poker.

The basic amount of betting starts at least 100 million won.

There is no limit.

It was a paradise on earth for poker.

“Hmm. Please pay attention.”

Then Mr. Lee stood by the poker table and gathered people. Ellie also turned her gaze at the terrace toward the living room.

Mr. Lee briefly explained the rules of the poker house after giving witty greetings to the participants.

“As you all know, our poker house follows the traditional Texas Hold 'em rules.”

Mr. Lee took a moment to speak in a secret voice.

“And once again, it's a game called No Limit, the flower of poker.”

Mr. Lee turned to a room close to the living room. People's eyes also turned that way.

“We're also offering a loan service to help you play the game smoothly, so please feel free to contact us.”

“Do you accept used cars as collateral? I got it a week ago.”

People burst into laughter when a young man asked mischievously. The man jingled the keys of the car with the logo of the foreign car brand.

“Of course, I'll pay you in cash right away.”

Mr. Lee gave a brazen retort.

A burst of laughter again.

The first game opened in such a warm atmosphere.

Before she knew it, the time was well past 1 a.m.

This hand had only one left with Ellie as the participants gave up the game in the middle (Fold) in the middle. It was a man who joked to Mr. Lee that he would sell a used car as collateral.

The table was stacked with 5 billion won worth of chips.

Ellie rolled a gold poker chip in her hand. It was a chip that she usually carries like a charm, which she first picked up at the casino.

Ellie is simply lucky today.

She won two games in a row with only clumsy bluffing (acting as if she had a good hand and deceiving her opponent).

How perfectly her cards match what she needs. It was as if the goddess of fate had connected only the cards she needed to her fingertips.

However, the other person seemed to have the same thought. The man sitting across from me bet all the chips with a look of certainty of victory.

“All in.”

As if he had forgotten, he took the car key out of his pocket and put it down on the chip.

“Even this.”

The car keys clattered down on the piled-up chips. When the man smiled, Ellie snorted.

'Liar.'

Ellie checked the cards on the floor.

[A] [A] [10] [Q] [7]

In Texas Hold'em, the player with the highest score wins by combining a hand on the floor and a hand in his hand into a total of 5 cards.

Ellie looked up and saw the damage.

[K] [J]
