First off, here are the rules of the game in question:

Not a long read but what you need to know is that Kaiji has the Slave deck, he only has a 1/5 chance of beating Tonegawa who wields the Emperor deck (and in turn has a 4/5 win chance).

The game's currency is in the form of "depth", measured by the device you see in the anime (the live action doesn't make it that obvious). Whenever Kaiji bets a certain amount, it is translated to depth...that is how deep the drill attached to his head will go within his earlobe. As you can see, Kaiji is already bleeding by the time he wins. This is because he lost big in the first few rounds and suffered for it.

Also, you should know that Tonegawa was using his watch as a cheating device. So not only was Kaiji against the odds, he was also being played for a sap.

Other than those contexts, the videos should explain to you what happened. Kaiji uses psychology to read a Tonegawa's behavior and acted accordingly by performing a double fake trick.

It's not so cliche anymore when it's happening to you.
