Vandover turned up his own card and began to deal for himself.
He already had a ten; now he drew a seven-spot and king in succession.
"The bank pays," he exclaimed.

He paid the Dummy twenty-four chips.

He gave Ellis fifty for the eighteen he had drawn on his first jack, and one hundred for the Van John upon the second, since the latter combination called for double the amount wagered; besides this, the bank was lost to him.

Including the forty that he had paid for the bank, he had lost in all two hundred and fourteen dollars.
Never in his life had Vandover played so high a game, never before had he won or lost more than fifty dollars at a sitting.

But he was content to have it thus.
