Nine-Fingered Remnant, clutching the one hundred thousand in chips, surveyed the various gaming tables, finding them saturated with patrons. Locating an area with fewer players proved a challenge.
After some observation, he approached a relatively uncrowded baccarat table. Parting the throng, he boldly placed the entire sum upon the 'Player' position. I recognized then that he was going all in once more, not out of impulse, but because only with high stakes could he view the cards and cheat effectively.
Indeed, Nine-Fingered Remnant's wager was the highest at the table, eliciting a courtesy from another player who yielded a position for him to scrutinize the cards. As he settled beside the table, the dealer commenced dealing.
