==Chapter 5, part 3==

The round continued with Mitarai mostly in the lead. She lost a chunk of chips to others on occasion but was never close to being in danger of elimination. Everyone seemed to be of about equal skill and focused on playing sensibly. When someone made a huge bet, everyone else folded. When a there was a bluff that was called, it was for a moderate sum. It looked like the game could keep going for ever.
<br><br>
The ante went up for a second time and was now at 80 thousand.
<br><br>
The guy second from the dealer made a big raise. He was the one with the least chips. Mitarai called. He revealed a straight. Mitarai had something better. Considering his stack size and his hand, it seemed like a good move, but he was unlucky and now very close to elimination.
<br><br>
You could only rarely get a glimpse of Mitarai's eyes. Her black bangs were covering them and she kept looking down at the table most if the time. She just increased her chip lead and crushed an opponent, but said nothing and was looking as miserable as before.
<br><br>
Yumeko had the second largest pile of chips. Her attitude was totally differed than in the round before. She was not attempting to chat and looked unhappy. 
<br><br>
The girl third from the dealer went all-in. The guy in the fourth seat called. Neither of them had that many chips left so a move like that was to be expected at some point. Mitarai folded without hesitation and so did Yumeko. The guy second from the dealer took a moment to think. He was about just as low on chips at the others still in this hand. Every fold was painful for him as the ante kept eroding his chip stack. He leaned forward and rubbed his temples. He called eventually.
<br><br>
The three who were still in this hand became the center of attention. Many of the spectators were cheering for one of them. They had an exhausted look. The girl was noticeably sweating. The last guy to call kept his hands on his temples and closed his eyes. 
<br><br>
Mitarai and Yumeko were not involved in the showdown so they could afford to let their guard down for a bit to enjoy the show. They were both ignoring the spectacle, however. Yumeko kept looking at Mitarai with cold disapproval. Mitarai kept looking down and was hiding her eyes.
