Roger really had no other choice, so he had to get another cash advance from that same finance guy.
The finance guy said to him bluntly, "Unless you dilute some shares in exchange for this money, I really can't help you."
Roger thought about it for a second, figured he had to win anyway, whatever, he'd just trade some shares for cash.
After signing the contract, he handed over forty million to Albert, and Albert tossed all forty million chips in, spread his hands and said, "Show down."
I finally picked up my cards with both hands, pretending to rub and check them, but honestly, I didn't need to look—I already knew the outcome. Albert's straight was no match for my flush. That's exactly why I set up Roger to go in blind.
Emily Thomas watched Tobby with a tense expression. Actually, when Albert revealed his cards, she already felt like Tobby's chances were slim—after all, the guy had a straight. When you bet blind, nobody's really sure they're gonna win.
