First was the draw for the groupings.
Zhang Bin was drawn into the first group.
So, he and twenty-nine other gambling experts headed to the large roulette wheel. The audience could now see these thirty contestants, and the towering screen in the air displayed the list for the first group.
The commentator began to introduce all the players with great enthusiasm.
"This is truly a 'Group of Death,' as it's comprised of Kings of Gamblers from several countries. They are Changdao Sheng, the Island Nation King of Gamblers; Ma Dan, the French King of Gamblers; and Francis, the Italian King of Gamblers. These three are all renowned Kings of Gamblers, but alas, only two of them can advance. This is just too cruel..."
The rest of the players were outright ignored, and as for Zhang Bin, a complete nobody, he wasn't even mentioned.
The named players naturally waved to the audience in acknowledgment.
