Starting with this chapter, the posting schedule will be changed; Instead of a Tri-daily update Advent, it'll be as soon as I finish a chapter. Sound like fun?

Kenta quietly handed them all pairs of cards, ending with himself, and placing the deck in front of him.

He winced inwardly, having gotten the Two of Clubs and Six of Diamonds. "Why can't I ever get a useful hand, like a Pair of Spades, or Pairs of Eights, or a couple of face-cards?"

Likewise, Takato grimaced, as he'd gotten the Three of Hearts and Nine of Spades. (Takato: 7250) (Pot: 100)

Jeri held the Three of Diamonds and Jack of Spades, and knew that folding was likely her best option, adding two-hundred yen to Takato's one-hundred. (Jeri: 5800) (Pot: 300)

Rika received the King of Spades and Ten of Diamonds. While admittedly it wasn't perfect, given how random the hands had been so far, it wasn't a bad idea to use it, though honestly, she was more than a bit bored, as even after about fifteen hands, all seven of them were still in the game.

Kazu gave a confident smirk, having the Eight and Ace of Spades. He knew enough about Texas Hold'Em to know that a player had good chances of winning, should they have an Ace. That this was utterly wrong, he never suspected.

Ryo held the Six of Hearts and Jack of Diamonds, immediately knowing to fold.

Henry had the Seven of Spades and Queen of Clubs; as little as he was wearing, he couldn't afford any sort of risk.

"400," Rika knew that until there were only four or five players left, larger bets were out of the question. (Rika: 8200) (Pot: 700)

"Call," Kazu smirked, surprising Henry, as he hadn't expected him to actually do anything, while having so little money. What could he have to justify that? (Kazu: 600) (Pot: 1100)

"Fold," Ryo smirked, giving his cards to Kenta, who placed them beside the deck.

"I'll fold too," Henry intoned, and Kenta added his cards to Ryo's.

"Me too," Kenta sighed.

"And me," Takato gave Kenta his cards.

"I'll like to fold as well," Jeri spoke, leaving only two players in the game.

"Just you, and me, Rika," Kazu grinned eagerly.

"Of course, you won't win," She replied, matter-of-factly, while Kenta burned a card and placed the Four of Spades, Three of Spades and Four of Clubs, beside the deck.

"You'll regret those words, Rika..." Kazu triumphantly thought, seeing the two Spades in the community.

"300," Rika hesitantly said, deciding to play it safe. (Rika: 7900) (Pot: 1400)

"Call," Kazu grinned, unnerving Rika with his confidence. (Kazu: 300) (Pot: 1700)

Kenta removed another card, and placed the Two of Diamonds besides the others.

"300," Rika smirked, expecting him not to go all in.

Seeing this, Kazu nearly panicked, as while there was a card that might give him what he needed, it wasn't worth the risk, even if it left him in a terrible position, that definitely would lead him to lose. "Fold."

"Thought so," Rika gave a wide smirk. (Rika: 9600)
