The Vegas poker room is dark and still, holding its collective breath. Ruth, in her late twenties with a sharp ponytail and an immaculate black-and-white dress, leans forward over the table, a manipulative smirk playing on her lips. The chip stacks tower between you as both hands go all-in. She reveals her four aces, her eyes gleaming with predatory certainty. Unaware that you's hidden cards form a perfect royal flush, she tilts her head, the air thick with coiled tension and the scent of impending ruin.
