The room were the poker match was, were surprisingly empty. The only people there were the dealer and the other five contestants. Their names were Tyler, Andromeda, Philip, George, and Michael. Everyone looked about sixteen, except Tyler and Andromeda, which look my age.
Before I tell you about the how the game went, let me tell you how to play. This type of poker is called Texas Hold'em and it is a deceptively simple game to learn but it's a hard game to master. Each player is dealt two personal cards and then five community cards are turned up on the board. You make the best five card hand using any combination of the seven cards.
The first round was good for me. I got ace of spades and two of hearts. Then the first three cards came down, they were all aces. I betted sixty thousand dollars. The others also betted. The fourth card was a two of demands. I have betted another sixty thousand dollars. All but Tyler and Andromeda betted. The fifth card was also a two. This time, I betted five thousand dollars so they can stay in the game and it worked.
Most of the game was like that, until Tyler and Andromeda started getting series after round twenty-three. In round thirty-two, George got out. In round thirty-nine, Michael got out. Then Philip went down at round forty- three. It wasn't until round fifty-five when it got hard for me. The cards I got were terrible. They were two of hearts and a four of spades. The first three cards were kings. The fourth card was a five of demands. The final card was a two of spades. Andromeda won that round. Tyler got out and I am down too my last one hundred thousand.
Then came the fifty eighth round. I got two kings as my cards. Then the first three cards came out. They were 2 kings and an ace. Me and Andromeda looked at each other and said,
"All in!"
The second card was an ace and the final card was a two. We both laid out our cards; I made four kings, ace high. Then Andromeda pulled out her cards. As soon as a seen the cards, I fell too my knees. She had 4 aces king high, she won the million dollars.
When the celebration was over, Andromeda hugged me and said,
"Good game."
Then I said,
"Good game to you too."
I left the room and found a slot machine and started playing it.
