Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or characters affiliated in the show/manga. I am writing this fictional story for fun and not for profit.
A jack of hearts and a five of hearts. Her hand was nothing special in the game of Texas Hold'em but she knew how to play her cards right.
Looking around the table she took note of the people playing and their faces, their expressions in particular. As the dealer starts turning over the initial three cards she discreetly takes note of the body language displayed by the players now.
The man to her right had a hand over his pile of chips. He was playing with them by picking some from the top and letting them fall back into place. After he got his cards and peaked at them he stopped playing with the chips and drew his hand closer to his person. His other hand that had not been doing anything before now also moved towards his chest until both hands are clasped and fingers are interwoven, and then his thumbs start caressing his hands.
His actions register as self-comforting. That lets her know that he is trying to reassure himself of his decision. With that in mind she doesn't worry about him in the game. Soon comes his action and he folds.
With him out of the game she goes onto looking at the others, after her quick sweep she raises. The cards drawn by the dealer were not too bad, and the remaining cards to be drawn could be in her favor. Currently there was a four of hearts, queen of clubs, and a king of diamonds on the table. Two people call her and one of them raises.
The next round is about to begin and she is ready to make some money tonight.
By the end of the night she was seven thousand dollars heavier.
