The rules of Zhajinhua are very simple, every player gets three cards, and the one with the highest points wins.
The points rank from low to high as follows: single cards, pairs, flush, straight (three consecutive numbers, for example, 6, 7, 8; a straight of 1, 2, 3 is the largest, commonly known as "land dragon," and Q, K, A is known as "sky dragon," where here the rule is the land dragon outranks sky dragon), and triplet (three identical cards, like three 6s, with three Aces being the highest and three 2s the lowest).
Each round is five hundred yuan, the stake for checking your cards is double that for playing blind, with no upper limit. That is to say, if you want to raise the bet, the minimum is five hundred yuan, and the maximum could be all the money you brought today!
Chen Yingan was quite lucky, winning three rounds right off the bat.
This wasn't something Li Huai had deliberately arranged; it was really all down to Chen Yingan's luck.
