The croupier began dealing cards, and after spreading them out to demonstrate fairness, he took the cards from the shuffling machine and used a long stick-like tool to push the cards one by one toward each betting player.
The first card was face up, the banker's was the Heart 6, whereas Huo Sining received the Spade 4.
Then came the second face-down card. Huo Sining peeked at her card, it was a Diamond 3.
Which meant that Huo Sining's final count with two cards was seven—a not insignificant number in the game of Baccarat.
If Huo Sining had bet on the Player winning, then with this hand, her odds of winning would have been very high.
Unfortunately, she had bet on a tie.
Huo Sining flipped over her face-down card and waited for the banker to reveal their hand.
The other players also turned over their own cards, each one fixating their gaze on the banker's face-down card.
The banker showed their hand, and the banker slowly flipped over the card in front of him.
