The crowd watching the game was stunned.
They had often heard of people losing their cars, houses, and even their wives at the gambling table, but they had never witnessed it firsthand.
Today, they were able to witness someone borrowing from loan sharks to gamble, while the other one mortgaged his car, house, and factory!
The chips on the table exceeded 4 million, a sum of money that most people could never earn in their entire lives.
Soon, the value of Mr. Samson's factory was evaluated at 1.2 million, leaving an 800 thousand deficit to be covered in addition to the 2 million bets with Tristan.
Mr. Samson looked at the chips on the table, then at his cards, and made a phone call.
"I need to borrow 800 thousand dollars, and I'll use my factory as collateral."
The factory that Mr. Samson had just mortgaged to the casino was now being mortgaged to the loan shark.
