The Hollywood casino has opened its doors that night letting Christopher into the place, he is ready to start a night of winnings, as his rival, Noah, is inside with his henchmen waiting for the night to start to see who of the two I would come out of there being the winner.

Christopher got out of the taxi, opened his eyes eagerly, and approached the door of the casino, the doorman, a man in his 40s and a very rude appearance, received him.

"Name and age?" says the man sounding rude while his hand lightly hits Chris's chest preventing him from entering the casino without his permission.

"Christopher Evans, 20 years old" Chris answers firmly, without fear, because he was not lying, nor was he entering the casino illegally.

"Come in, the boss is waiting for you inside."

“Thank you” Christopher replies and walks in with a victorious smile on his face into the casino.

The casino was quite a big place, it had all the necessary games for ordinary people to come out bathed in money just by playing for an hour, and those who had all the money in the world came there to bet everything they could belong their houses, their cars, even their wives have bet.

Whoever entered there, no one was saved from leaving as if nothing had happened.

Christopher walks through a small corridor whose walls were painted red, and by the yellow light from the ceiling, a contrast of red and orange could be seen.

And, after only a few steps, Christopher arrives in the large game room of the casino.

The great room of the casino, which was the name that Noah himself had given the place, was invaded by multiple games of chance and bets that would make anyone a millionaire if only the person had enough intelligence to know how to win.

There was everything from the famous Blackjack to dice games and slot machines.

That was a fairly modern place, and it was one of Christopher's favorites because on one occasion he had already managed to beat Noah in just one hour of a game of craps and leave the casino that night with $1,200 in his pockets that he kept for their savings without their parents or their younger sister realizing it.

Christopher meets Noah, that young man was sitting in an armchair that made him look taller than normal, and he was sitting looking behind Christopher, because at that moment he was busy playing in a classic Tetris machine, yes, not only there were bets, there was also fun for those who just wanted to have a good time without losing out.

“Noah…” Christopher says.

Noah stops playing when he hears that they call him, and immediately, he recognizes the voice, he knew it was Christopher, his star player, known like that because he was a boy obsessed with betting, on several occasions, he had managed to beat Noah, and even It had surprised him instead of making him angry because Noah didn't like being beaten, however, Christopher, at only 20 years old, had come to make a name for himself as a good player in the casino that Noah had managed to admire incredibly.

But that night, Noah was certain that he was going to defeat Christopher to bring him down from the clouds, the pride that he commanded himself.

"Christopher Evans, good night, are you ready for your lucky night?" Noah asks him with the competitive voice that he always had when his rivals arrived at the casino.

"Yes, I am, shall we start?" Christopher asks him with all the attitude to start a night of betting.

“Follow me” Noah says.

Christopher follows Noah down the wide, red-carpeted hallway until they reach the famous poker game.

Christopher smiles mischievously because that game was his favorite since he was 12 years old, and he had held a cell phone for the first time in his hands, he had learned the art of poker not only by playing on the mobile device but also by watching YouTube tutorials how to play it

his maternal grandmother, on Fridays after 5:00 in the afternoon, would meet at home with her friends from the club, they always played poker, and he, from time to time, had the opportunity to stay with them to observe how they played, including, as he felt that he had become an expert, he did not hesitate the first time, to get into a game of poker for ladies between the ages of 70 and 80, and leave them speechless at how easily he managed to defeat them.

That night, Christopher had all the luck in the world to win that game, because determined to win, he spent an hour practicing the game at home, being locked up alone in his room.

"You know how to play poker, right?" Noah asks.

"Of course, it's a piece of cake for me" Christopher answers without erasing the mischievous smile from his face.

“Well, let's wait and see how much of a doddle you say it is for you,” Noah says challengingly.

"Go ahead and deal those cards," Christopher tells him.

Without further ado, Noah sat in his chair, and Christopher sat in his facing Noah, Noah took the poker cards that were on the table and began to solve them.

Noah then deals the cards equally between himself and Christopher, and the game begins.

The first round is lost by Christopher, and by intuition and ambition, he asks Noah to play another game, Noah accepts without thinking, and shuffles the cards again until they are dealt again.

In this second round, Christopher manages to be the winner.

Although not by much, Noah knows that he is the expert in this game, and he knows that Christopher is a beginner, but it didn't matter, the night was young, and the casino too for Noah to continue challenging Christopher.
