Chen Cheng's luck was on the rise; his hole cards were a pair of 8s.
Though not considered strong cards, they were excellent as starting hands.
Wen Shulin and Wang Xinan were the small and big blinds, and after the blinds were posted, Zhou Xiansheng was the first to speak.
He tapped the table, indicating a check.
But Zhang Zhenchao threw out three 1000 chips with casual flair, wearing a slight smile on his face.
"Old Zhang, looks like you've got some decent cards!"
Since it was a friendly game, banter was inevitable.
Li Bo took another look at his cards; a club ace and a diamond ten.
With high cards like these, there was no reason not to play, especially since the pot wasn't particularly large yet.
So he followed suit and made the call.
Chen Cheng was the last to act in this round.
But he passed the decision to Liu Zhiya beside him.
"Xiao Ya, how much do you think we should call?"
