Also, what the heaven? Only one other person, out of over a hundred, bothered to vote on my latest poll?
After Henry had shuffled the deck, he flung pairs of cards to everyone, which they all caught, with varying amounts of efforts, earning him looks from Rika and Takato.
"Was that necessary?" She smirked, bemused with his impractical theatrics.
"No, but it looked cool." He grinned back.
Henry had the Ten and Two of Spades, and cringed inwardly.
Kenta got the Seven of Clubs and Six of Hearts, and smiled, as things finally went his way. (4200) (100)
Takato had the King of Spades and Six of Diamonds, and decided to fold, as the probability of either a King or a Six arriving in either the Flop, River or Turn, was too slim to be of use. (4800) (300)
Jeri held the Ace of Hearts and Two of Clubs, which she decided to go with, as they were sequential in number, and Rika had told her to use any such hand.
Rika had the Jack of Clubs and Seven of Hearts, cursing her rotten luck.
Kazu got the Five and Nine of Diamonds.
Ryo held the Five and Four of Hearts.
"Um," Jeri mumbled, unsure of what action to take. "400." (5800) (700)
"Fold," Rika groaned, lacking other options.
"I'm in," Kazu grinned. (4200) (1100)
"Fold," Ryo said. He was already shirtless, and anything short of face cards weren't good hands in his situation.
"Fold," Henry followed, as there was literally nothing he was likely to make, with his cards.
"300." Kenta smirked. (3900) (1400)
"Call," Takato gave a small grin, hoping for the Flop to give him what he needed. (4400) (1800)
"Call" Suzie smiled, her eyes widening in shock, when she saw the multitude of scars, on Ryo's chest and abs. It looked considerably worse than she'd expected.
"Next betting round," Henry announced, burning a card, and placed the King of Hearts, Jack of Spades and Queen of Spades. A few seconds passed before Henry registered Suzie's presence.
"Okay, Suzie," He said calmly. "Now you've seen Ryo shirtless. I trust you've learned something from this experience?"
"Yeah," She pouted. "Whenever I want to play strip poker, with a bunch of sixteen-year olds and an eighteen-year old video-game character, so I can see the eighteen-year old shirtless, I should make sure that he doesn't have any scar tissue..."
"That's an overtly specific lesson..." Takato sweat dropped.
"I was kinda thinking, 'be careful what you wish for', but sure, that works too," Henry laughed.
"I don't know, hers sounds better, I think..." Rika muttered, wondering how the eleven-year old had entered her room, without her noticing. A quick thought to Renamon comfirmed that she hadn't noticed her sneaking in, either.
"Now, can we please finish our game in peace, Suzie?" Henry asked his younger sister, who nodded in response, and left.
"Video-game character?" Jeri asked, confused.
"You didn't know?" Henry replied. "Ryo's from the Digimon Wonderswan games."
"Oh," Jeri replied, and shrugged.
"200," Kenta grinned, hoping to deter at least one of them from calling. If he'd read Takato right, he'll likely fold, and Jeri might likewise, though Kazu was unlikely to do so. (3700) (2000)
"Call," Takato grinned. "Hopefully, a pair of Kings will be enough." (4200) (2200)
"Fold," Jeri sighed, as Miller straights, or Wrap-around straights, or Around-The-Bend, or whatever they were called, wasn't usually allowed, and as they hadn't discussed it at the beginning of the game, she assumed it to apply here as well.
"I'm out," Kazu muttered, handing Henry his cards.
With the second betting round concluded, Henry burned another card, and placed the Four of Spades as the Turn.
"Fold," Kenta sighed, handing his cards to a surprised Henry.
"Really?" Takato asked, before shrugging, and taking the money. (6400)
"Just had a bad hand." He replied, as Henry gathered the cards, and handed the Deck over to him.

Yep, adds up to exactly 35000. No money gained or lost, while all the players are in. Anyone who did the math for the previous games, would notice that.
