En: The summer air in the center of София was filled with heat and anticipation. Bg: В една тъмна и задна част на града, скрито далеч от обикновените и любопитните, имаше мазе, където хора с риск в кръвта се събираха за покер игри. En: In a dark and secluded part of the city, hidden away from the ordinary and the curious, there was a basement where people with risk in their blood gathered for poker games.
