Bringing Down the House Week 6

In the chapters that i read the blackjack team was becoming more and more successful now that Kevin had gotten promoted to Big player alongside Fisher and Martinez. Kevin begins to fall in love with Vegas and says that he is now living a double life. He has a girlfriend back at MIT but i forgot her name and he has trouble keeping the Vegas secret from her and everyone else. Every weekend he come home with like 10000 and has to hide it in his dorm room. He has so much money that he has to pay everything in 100 dollar bills in order to get rid of all of them. He buys a bunch of cool expensive things like a huge tv and a brand new snowboard and other things like that. Since he is buying so many nice things his girlfriend and family get suspicious and think that hes dealing drugs. He brings his girlfriend to see his parents over thanksgiving and then tries to tell his dad about card counting but doesn't have the balls to do it. His father grew up in china and had a really hard life at a young age and had to over come a lot so his dad would be mad if he thought he was cheating or stealing or whatever so hes worried to tell him. Kevin also meets a cheerleader for the Rams i think who is a very very very hot girl and i think he cheats on his girlfriend a lot(it doesn't really say). At the end of this section that i read they kick out Mickey because Martinez Fisher and Kevin have gained enough money to fund the team without the financial help of Mickey. Mickey takes it sort of well but also gives them advice which seems kind of ironic because it seems as if later on in the book he will mess it up for them or something like that.
