Kenta didn't know exactly how to handle the cards, so he simply gave each of them two cards, eschewing such exaggerated theatrics as Rika, and Henry in particular had used.
He had the Ten of Clubs and Three of Spades, cringing when he saw his mismatched pair, which left him with few options.
Takato held the Ace of Clubs and Ten of Diamonds, and smirked inwardly. (6300) (100)
Jeri got the Nine of Spades and Three of Diamonds, suspecting that folding was a good idea, though she wasn't certain. (5600) (300)
Rika held the Five of Clubs and King of Spades, and immediately knew that the best course of action was to fold.
Kazu had the Four of Diamonds and Three of Clubs, grinning, as there were a considerable amount of card-combinations that would give him a Straight.
Ryo got the Queen of Hearts and Eight of Diamonds, and knew that folding was his best option.
Henry held the Six of Clubs and Two of Hearts.
"Um, place your bets, guys," Kenta said, sounding slightly nervous.
"I think I'll like to fold," Jeri said softly, handing her Nine and Three to Kenta.
"I'll fold too," Rika grumbled.
"500," Kazu grinned, causing the others to wonder what exactly he had. (3700) (800)
"Fold," Ryo groaned.
"I'm out, too," Henry spoke.
"And me," Kenta continued, leaving only Takato.
"Call," He grinned, positive that he had the best hand of the two. (5800) (1300)
The first betting round over, Kenta removed the top card, putting the Queen of Spades, Four of Spades and Ace of Hearts on the table.
"Fold," Kenta muttered. A pair of Fours was nowhere near good enough; he might as well have nothing.
"And here I had a pair of Aces..." Takato thought, wishing he'd gotten to use them, though as he'd won, he supposed he had nothing to complain about. Regardless, he now had the most money, putting him firmly in the lead. (7100)
"This game'll go on forever..." Rika nervously thought. Strangely, the notion wasn't entirely unwelcome to her.
Lastly, Kenta shuffled all the cards back into the deck, and passed it to Takato.
