Cao Bin gave Li Yifei a detailed explanation of the rules, and Li Yifei listened very carefully, frequently asking questions—his demeanor suggested that he truly had never played Golden Flower Poker before. Sun Dongran appeared impatient, but at this time, he didn't want to give the excuse that Li Yifei's loss could be blamed on unfamiliarity with the rules. Therefore, he grudgingly waited for Cao Bin to finish explaining to Li Yifei.
Finally, the explanation was over, and everyone started to play.
A deck of poker cards was prepared, the two jokers removed, followed by taking turns dealing cards as the house. Cao Bin was the house for the first round, and after dealing the cards, Sun Dongran, sitting to his right, instantly tossed out a thousand chip without even glancing at his cards.
Then it was Song Tianwei's turn. He matched the thousand, and Wang Shiying did likewise. For the first round, everyone chose to see their cards directly—it would look too stingy not to.
