Whit froze, feeling the card appear. His mind raced. Itzal now had proof that he was cheating, even though he wasn't technically cheating. He had nothing but his own word to back up his accusation, true as it may be, and Itzal had just compromised it. He tried to think of a way to ditch the card, but all eyes were locked on him now. Even if he did get rid of it, Itzal was liable to plant a new one there. He could try to push his cheating accusation further, and convince them Itzal had planted the card there itself. Or maybe it should retract the accusation, hoping Itzal would do the same? Getting caught would mean losing all his chips, and considering he was betting his life, that would be a death sentence.
