10. King
Tenten watched her team mate warily over the top of her cards. She was careful to keep her face smooth of any expression. Neji on the other hand, had a default poker face so it was impossible to know whether he got a good hand or not. He had bluffed her a few times already. It wouldn't have been so bad but the problem was that they were playing with real money and she was running out of hers already.
He burned a card and dealt three cards. It was an eight and two kings. His pale eyes fixed onto her brown ones calmly and he raised an eyebrow.
"I check," she murmured.
"I raise you $20," he replied smoothly, throwing the $20 bill into the pile of cash in the middle of the table.
"I meet," she said and carefully placed her money on the same pile.
Neji burned a card then flipped over the next card. A three of hearts. Tenten thought she detected a slight grimace out of the corner of her eye but it was probably her imagination. When she had acted on such things, she had ended up losing money.
"I bet $10," she finally said after much careful consideration.
"I meet."
He burnt the next card and turned over the last card, a ten of diamonds.
"I bet $20," Tenten said reluctantly.
"I raise you $20," Neji replied and leaned back to watch her.
Tenten chewed her bottom lip thoughtfully, "Fine, I'm going all in." She pushed her remaining money into the pile.
Neji added some more money from his pile to meet her amount. "Shall we show?" he asked, pales eyes crinkling ever so slightly at the corners as he smirked. He turned over his two cards, a pair of aces. "Two pair," he smiled smugly at her.
Tenten stared at the cards he had revealed before slowly turning her own cards, a pair of kings. "Four of a kind. HAH! I owned your sorry butt!" she exclaimed happily bouncing up and down in her seat.
Neji's smirk fell of his face, "Hn, lets play again."
"I am so going to beat you tonight," she continued teasingly.
"We'll see about that," he replied, his smirk returning.
It was going to be a late night tonight.
